Raggytash - just endorsing what panarus biarmicus said - Ronnie who did the poetic monologues in't Black 'Oss at Moor and Coast was brilliant.
Not sure that you can book anyone as a guest at this late stage (maybe next year) but this is a festival for everyone and I know he would be very welcome and would go down a treat.
What about Ray's Sat afternoon recording session of local traditional songs and singers [Bridge Hotel : 1.00-4.00pm].
I would think they'd like to include traditional humourous monologues as well and Ronnie knows plenty of those!
Not sure what they mean by "local" though i.e local to Holmfirth or wider afield but anything "Yorkshire" would probably fit the bill.
If he turns up I'll buy him a pint as well and refrain from drumming within his earshot.
P.S: I saw Tony Morris in Whitby and have invited him too.
