Fantastic!!!! What a brill weekend, thank you so much Lucy, Kevin and everyone who made it such a special event!

Can't write more now as my right hand is out of action. Had my carpel tunnel op this morning having safely returned from our Cornwall/Devon holiday last night. Dreadful day yesterday as one of my brothers died in the morning unexpectedly. Now feeling pretty useless with only one hand working and too much time on my hands - can't even twiddle my thumbs *smile*

Roll on next year for the next Bude extravaganza!!

Thanks and congratulations to all from the Shiny Bum Singers, our only regret was that we had two gigs scheduled that weekend at opposite sides of the country, so couldn't participate fully as we otherwise would.

We loved the invitation and the reception, and the others we heard on Friday evening, and were honoured to be part of it.

Excuse the late thanks, but I have just regained internet access after yet another mad dash the width of the country and back for a family wedding - incidentally for musos featuring brilliant solo saxophone by Dave Brogden at Haldon Belvedere castle's spectacular hilltop setting.

Cheers,
Chris

What a delightful weekend! I'm now back at work and with a computer that, hopefully, works, having tried twice last week to post my congratulations to all who performed at and all who helped organise this event!

I had a lovely relaxing time. It was so good to meet all you Catters and listen to such great music.

I loved the pipes. What a fab way to end the Saturday night's concert! It should become 'traditional'!

Lucy----Oh Yes!! Please , Please let 'Daystar' et al dress up in kit !! I was at Broadstairs Festival a few years ago, sitting in a pub ,when about 100 nineteenth- century Redcoats came in and quartered themselves therein----after about ten minutes, we all felt as if we"d been transported back 200 years ! A similar effect could be acheived at "The Tree", I'm sure, especially if the hanging of a Royalist could be arranged ?? Geordie-Peorgie looks suspiciously like The Laughing Cavalier, don"t you think ?? I'm a Roundhead, myself !!

Just clocked the pitchas on view!

Aah'm not sure if yez are extractin' the urine there, Hawker, Bonnie Lass, but the way a look arrit is....

Most people get up in the mornin', tek off their jimmie-jams and have a wesh/shooer/bord-bath. Then they get dressed into their 'work-claes' and gan te work.

They cums hyem and gets changed into summat comfortable te hev their tea and then hev another wesh/shooer/wharrevva te gan oot in the evenin'.

THEN they come back and get undressed and climb into their jim-jams again (Prob'ly having had another wesh).

What a palaver!! Aah get up! Aah does the fower S's (Sh*t, Shooer, Shampoo & Shave!) Aah puts on me PJ's! End of story!

Next day? The same just different pyjamas - Aah save aboot an hour and a half a day and aalwez carry a tin of armpit repellant for the evenin'.

Just you wait - Next Whitsun it'll be a bloody fashion statement and once again aah'll be the trendsetter (just like when aah wore the open-toed flannel troosers and the bowler hat wi' sleeves)

Great to meet so many 'catters (and other folkies too).

See you all again sometime soon.

Harmony Angel, thank you so much for sharing those photos with us, they are lovely!. I have jusy put mine on Flickr HERE

Well where do I start telling all those who missed it, what they missed? It is hard to put into words! The Shiny Bums were absolutely superb, as were all the other folk club guests on the Friday night, and the warm and friendly atmosphere just added to the occasion at The Barn Bar at The Tree Inn. Three In a Bush were enjoyed by all in the Beville Bar too. At the Falcon, there was music and a great night was had by all there too, with the help of Friggin' Riggin'

Saturdays walk was really interesting, led by Andy Thorpe,I even learned things I didn't know about the place where I have lived for 18 years!
The big sing at the Falcon that followed was lovely, we had an amazing array of talent! I am afraid to mention them all, incase I miss anyone, but I have to say I was delighted that Tony Truscott made it to the festival if only for a short time.
I was very disappointed that Anne Lister didnt get any takers for the story telling at The Brasserie, but her performances in the big sing and the evening concert at the Tree Inn made me wish that I had had the time to go and listen, as I am sure it did many others.
The Saturday evening Concert at The Tree Inn was a stunner! what a line up we had to enjoy - and everybody was again welcoming and friendly. Several acts reduced me to tears - either with their moving songs or hysterical jokes which seemed to be very infectious. Phil Williams and Sarah Deere-Jones were stunning, and though I dont think many there had heard of them before, I think they will remember them in future. The Landlord was drafted in to replace an act unable tocome and wowed us with a stunning performance on the highland pipes - ending the evening of course with the Cornish National Anthem - Trelawney This all happened in the Bran Bar, at the Tree Inn, The Salty Dogs II had the Beville bar absolutely jam packed too with thier wonderful music and, while this was going on, I believe there was a good session happening at the Falcon Inn too.
Sunday walk with Harry didn't happen due to the poor weather, There really was a tornado in Bude Bay on Saturday, it was on the local TV. Friggin' Riggin entertained in the Coachman's bar on Sunday morning and a fantastic and unplanned sing happened in the brasserie conservatory. The afternoon concert was another stunning array of talent and Maddie Southorn, a new name to me, blew me away, not only a lovely voice, but a lovely girl too. Thanks to Roger Bryant for agreeing to MC at 10 minute's notice and Carole and Andrew for stepping in to replace Thorn & Roses, and for singing Childe, for KB unrehearsed!!!!! What stars!
While the concert was on,Friggin' Riggin kept it going in the bar.
The evening ceilidh with The Oggle Band was fantastic, a chance for all to socialise, dance and have a great end ing to the festival, guest spots from George Papavgeris and Willow completed the evening and Geordie Porgy was our stunning MC for the evening.
WOW! what a weekend! I humbly thank all who performed, all who came, all who helped in any way and God that it all went well!
Be assured there will be more of the same next year, somehow! It was worth the hard work, thank you all so much!
Cheers, Lucy

As an infrequent visitor to Mudcat, part time folkie and full time idiot, I'd like to add my thanks to all those that made this event the very enjoyable experience it was. Thanks also to everyone who made me welcome and feel like a member of 'the family'.
I'm nor sure about the etiquette of linking to personal photographs so if I'm breaking the rules, I apologise but here are a few of the 'least bad' pikkies that I took, including a couple of the now infamous 4 handed guitar accompaniment to one of MGAS's songs.

Hunt the Tree Inn, now that was a goodun, from the map it looked like it was just up the road, well I suppose it was really!

Good services at the Rugby Club, lovely view, port and cheese party, transport laid on by caravaners for us campervan peeps. But most of all we met so many lovely people that we were able to sit and chat to as well as listen to and join in with wonderful music and song. Roll on next year

Absolutely brilliant! A sort of Miskin without the children's events and Morris (more time to organise those for next year), but with a great ceilidgh and significant townie participation. Plus some great Cornish songwriters - it's quite something to hear "Cornish lads" and "Swallow's wing" from the source (despite your excellent renditions, Breezy)! Plus welcoming, bagpipe-playing landlords. Plus the first recorded instance of Mudcatter 4-hand guitar accompaniment (see here). Stunning performance from the Shiny Bums (the keyboard Morris is my favourite). Plus some amazing performances from George Wilson, Anne Lister, Sara Deere-Jones with Phil Williams, the Willows, Lucy and Kevin, the Cavaliers (great family band!), Breezy, Hilary, Roger Bryant, Roger Mills and Annie, Jerry and Hilary Bix, Jon Heslop, Andy, Mary, heck - EVERYONE raised their standard and gave us some wonderful moments.

THANK YOU Lucy and Kevin - love to Amber and Tamsyn. And I can now say that I have known the real Hawker (he-he)! Roger M, bedankt voor het smakelijke tijden en de word-spellen!

And the Doombar and the Proper Job were lovely. And the oggies tasty.

Roll on Bude 2008!

Well, I am just off to the survivors session at the Tree Inn, I am VERY tired! but WOW! What a wonderful lot you all are, it wouldn't have happened without you all - and it really did 'happen!' I will give a more informed report and post photos later, but suffice to say that it all exceeded my wildest dreams - from start to finish and all my fears (which were Huge) were dismissed.
There WILL be a Bude festival next year, and for those who were there this year, priority will be a motorised link between the two venues. I also feel it will be better to keep it small and intimate and not go too big too soon.
Thank you Thank you Thank you all, I am now going to fulfill my vow to ONLY drink rum today!
I'll speak later, when the composure and sobriety I have upheld all weekend have been completely dispersed!
Cheers, Lucy

That's it. I'm really pi**ed off now. You're all going to tell me in a couple of days what a wonderful time you had.
Well - - - - I really, really hope you all do, and let us know as I think what Hawker and all have done. Best wishes for a truly great Whitsun.
