The re-scheduled Delta Blues Dulcimer Revival has now been cancelled due to COVID-19 travel restrictions which make it too difficult for Adrian Kosky and Carla Maxwell to travel to the U.S.A. Hopefully, things will be better next year and safe travel will allow them to host the Delta Blues Dulcimer Revival in Clarksdale, Mississippi.
Stay safe and well!
