December 31 2003 Issue Thirteen So Santa has been and gone and brought me bags of goodies. Luckily there was a huge amount of music in those sacks as I ended up spending most of Christmas in bed with a nasty cold. But here we are on the last day of the year and all is well with the world. So settle back and enjoy our last newsletter of the year and then get out there and ring in 2004 for all of us. I will just like to add my own personal thanks to all who have supported JigTime over the year and promise that in 2004 I will scour this wonderful world to bring you the best music and mayhem I can find. I can also promise lots of new contests for you to win great prizes from the people you know and love as well as people you may never have heard of who I think you are going to love. We have plans to add more people to write for JigTime from all corners of the world. We will also be bringing you some very nice JigTime merchandise both for sale and to give away when I am in one of those crazy generous moods I find myself in. 2004 will also see JigTime reporting from a record number of events. There are festivals and concerts happening all over the world and we will try to have people at them to bring you words and pictures. We also want to hear more from you. I can't be everywhere so whether it's a small gathering in your local pub or a big festival I have missed please let me know and I will try to fit it in to our events lists and previews. So I wish all of you a very peaceful and happy new year. I hope you all have a very safe and lovely time tonight and spend it in the company of those you love.
