Thread Name: Tanners Hatch - Finding old friends
Subject: RE: Tanners Hatch - Finding old friends
Easty Beastie!! Wow, hi... long time no see. Guernsey Pete posted in a Mudcat discussion not too long ago (last year sometime?) so is clearly still around and sounded fine. If I can find the thread I'll dig it out and post a link. I'm so sorry to hear about Carol - I was staying at Tanner's Hatch one time when she was there also, and the two of us played for some dancers, me on recorder. Didn't Mary Fookes also sing with Heritage at one time? If so, I have some great memories of doing some pub-harmonies with her in an afternoon singaround during one of my Tanner's stays (possibly the same time as when Carol was there).

Actually, I thought I'd posted to this thread already. I used to love Tanner's, and, funnily enough, discovered it through a non-folkie. One of the weekends they had a fantastic costume event, and the entire Graham Petty family showed up rigged out in Medieval gear - even the dog, who sported a fine blue silk cape (I was quite jealous). What a great thread this is. What great memories.
