Subject: RE: BS: How many UK catters 2 From: Dunc Date: 01 Mar 01 - 03:47 AM I live near the Fair City of Perth and am a regular at the... Internationally Famous Glenfarg Village Folk Club A wonderful club which is on every Monday night an the Glenfarg Hotel. Another good club in the area is Dougie McLean's Real Music Bar at the Taybank Hotel in Dunkeld (15 miles north of Perth)and you can find live music being played and sung there just about anytime. If its quiet when you go in - start playing or singing yourself. It is activly encouraged that you should do this. |

Subject: RE: BS: How many UK catters 2 From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 22 Feb 01 - 04:58 PM Whitby is always great - but with Moor and Coast being the date it is, it clashes with too many things down south.
I hope to get to Whitby week, and renew some acquaintances from last year.
But in the meantine, and even before Moor and Coast, there is the National Folk Festival at Sutton Bonnington. I'm hoping to get along again this year - and I've set up a thread asking if anyone else is planning to go. |
Subject: RE: BS: How many UK catters 2 From: Noreen Date: 19 Feb 01 - 08:28 PM Great devotion to duty, there, Tyke!! Most impressed. Noreen |
Subject: RE: BS: How many UK catters 2 From: Tyke Date: 19 Feb 01 - 06:33 PM Well I'm just back from a long weekend in Whitby! It's a hard life but someone has to do it! As part of my dedication to the Mudcaters I have spent some considerable time this weekend making sure that the beer in all the Pubs in Whitby would meet with the approval of the any Mudcaters visiting Whitby. I took my several pint's of John Smith's Magnet Ale on special offer at £1 a pint in the Board Inn on Church Street and three or four visit's before I felt that I could recommend it to other Mudcater's. However once I regained the use of my legs I managed to make it to the Endeavour for a couple of pints of Broadside. It was there I ran into one of the organisers of the Moor and Coast festival and he said that he would be only too happy to include a Mudcater's event within the festival. We then left the Endeavour along with one of the Organiser of the Whitby Folk Club Mick Haywood managed with some effort to cross the bridge and stagger into the Plough on Baxtergate the Beer Sam Smiths at £1.25 a pint is very good value. I was pleased to discover that the Plough, home of the Whitby Folk Club on Wednesday Nights, will be used this year for the first time by the Moor and Coast. After a few beers in the Plough we decided to reconvene in the Tap and Spile it was round and about here that thing seemed to get a little blurred and my memory is a little weak. But I think it is safe to say that a musical weekend in Whitby sound like a lot of fun! See you all there at the Moor and Coast |

Subject: RE: BS: How many UK catters 2 From: Tyke Date: 14 Feb 01 - 08:02 PM So far there have been 13 postings to the I will be at the Moor & Coast Festival type Thread. This includes one from I am a confused mudcater that I will apologise to now for my dyslexia. Even if there was a spell checker on this site it would not help. As their seems to be no objections to a gathering so far so I'll try and make a few tentative inquires this weekend. Gathering or not should the festival include Coblers Monday doing as we did last year a welcome to the festival Singaround we shall make everyone welcome give a special mention to Mudcaters. Hopefully the weather will be fine and sunny with no rain. I would hate to see Les playing his electric Bass in the Rain and starting to Link the Moor and Coast with the Franenstin branch of the Goths. PS is there any truth in the rumor that Mr and Mrs Duck are trying to produce there very own family Moris Side? |

Subject: RE: BS: How many UK catters 2 From: GUEST Date: 14 Feb 01 - 06:50 PM Cavia: Hoped you enjoyed your new Les Barker book? |
Subject: RE: BS: How many UK catters 2 From: GUEST,Captain Swing Date: 14 Feb 01 - 03:35 PM Cavia Yes, false as opposed to real. I know, it's a pretty crap name for a band but we're used to it now. We used to be called the Ballistic Brothers but we discovered there was another band of that name in London so we decided we should change our name quickly. So we came up with False McCoy to meet the deadline for some gig publicity. Since then we've heared nothing more about the other Ballistic Brothers. I don't attend the Cottingham club these days, or for the last six years for that matter, though I was the founder member and ran it from 1985 to 1995. We tend to play to pub audiences now. We will be playing at the Sun Inn (formerly Tap&Spile), Beverley on 18 March and Hessle Golf Club the night before (St Patrick's). Cheers - Captain Swing |

Subject: RE: BS: How many UK catters 2 From: Cavia_P Date: 14 Feb 01 - 07:23 AM Captain Swing, as opposed to the Reel McCoy ? :o) Sorry, I'm not a Cottingham regular, Jenny and I came along to Les Barker last week and Roy Bailey a few weeks back. We may get along to the Ceilidh (this Saturday ?) I used to be a regular at Hull Folk Union One in it's last years, now I go along to the Friday sessions at the Kingston (Hull) and have been to the first Sunday of the month sessions at Nellies (Beverley). I recite monologues and play the pocket Bodhran. Cavia_P |
