Aah've bottled it!!!

The forecast said 'Rain - Sunday & Monday' and while aah divvent mind puttin' UP a tent, or sleepin' IN a tent in the rain, aah HATE packin' up a wet tent in the rain.

Aah'm still comin' but me and TLS have got the last available room at The Falcon.

Aah knaah! Aah've torned intiv a soft southern Jessie but aah fully intend te be part and parcel of this fest iff it kills uz.

Packin' up in the rain probably WAAD kill uz - Aah'm prepared te die for me art and music but not for campin' oot!

See yez there

Board (bored) meeting in London in the morning, run back home by 1pm, leave the house around 2pm, might make it to Bude for 8pm if all's well... Lucy, I'll give you a call as I get closer.

And I'm haring down the M5 on Saturday morning, having only just now made it home to Wales from working in Lancashire all week. So I'll see some of you at the events where I'm singing - make sure you introduce yourselves to me if I don't know you already.

Thanks Hil,
We have not got a festival office as such, programmes are available at The Falcon, The tree and The Tourist information centre for the princely sum of £1.
I will be somewhere in Bude Friday afternoon!
and definately at the Folk Club in the evening.

Cheers, Lucy

Rockin Bob: you'd be best to park at the Rugby Club unless you've already booked at Efford Down by phone. The website has the program on it now, that's our central point till we all get to Bude *grin* Reckon Lucy will be run ragged from now on so hope that's all you need to know. See you there!!!

BB, I plugged the Earl Of Rone tonight to a couple who couldn't come to Bude as they were heading in your direction. Hope it is as good as it usually is. Hope also to get up to a Shammick session before too long.

Kitty, Have a great time at Chippenham, The Cause is a wonderful venue. Well be thinking of you and raise a glass or two!

Oh My GOD ........

I'm knackered, just played for 4 hours for a ceilidh, butter get some sleep tomorrow is going to be a BUSY day!!!!!

I'll be dropping in on your singarounds at Chippenham, Kitty, but would really like to wish the new Bude festival every success. Also wish everybody attending a really good time and good weather. Especially good wishes to you Lucy - congratulations for a job well done. Now - everybody put pressure on the powers that be whilst you are down there so that it doesn't coincide with Chippenham next year - then I (and a lot of others) can join you.

Sounds great, really sorry I can't be there, but I'm running singarounds at Chippenham - if anyone is heading east from Bude and wants to drop in at Chippenham between 2 and 4pm on Sat, Sun or Mon (26-28), please come and support the Cause singarounds! Have a great time, and I hope the Shiny Bums aren't too knackered for their gigs the following week!

Ah, I seem to have misunderstood gazza2's difficulty with the 'blue clicky thing' - I thought he meant making one. I'll try again myself in a moment.

In the meantime, I just wanted to say good luck to everyone involved in the Bude festival. Wish we could be there but this may explain why we can't - if anyone's interested, that is! Whether you are or not, you might find the link interesting.

Have a great time, and I hope the weather's better than is being forecast at present!

Just a passing point.
I seem to remember that there is more original material in the Mary Rose than in the Victory! If this is the case there should be no problem in restoring an authentic Cutty Sark.

Hope to make it down Saturday morning/mid-day. Sadly I'll miss the Shiny Bums if they're only around on Friday as I have to work until gone 4pm and even with the best will in the world and a following wind, I can't make it down there for 8.30pm.

Hills, if we don't get to sing together (which I hope we do) during the weekend, I'm around for a while on Bank holiday Monday. How about us gate-crashing Breezy's spot on the harbour? We do outnumber him and we can be 'The Breezettes and Breezy' and not just 'Breezy and the Breezettes'.

Well done with the program George and you too Lucy! Am currently collecting hugs to bring to Bude with me from various Catters who are unable to come to Cornwall at the weekend.

Lucy, I do hope you were touching wood when you said that about the 1 problem, these things usually come in three's! I can do some of the local taxiing for you if you like, just let me know where & when!

Oh well, as I see it, I only have 1 problem to iron out, so It SHOULD be a great weekend!
I shall not be drinking until the Monday, as I am being taxi driver - the sacrifices some of us make......... ;0)
Come on down to sunny Bude, we can't do it without you!

Back on-line again but only temporarily, will need to install another new hard drive in a few weeks after my first carpal tunnell op.

Really looking forward to this, it looks like it's going to be one of those lovely relaxing weekends with good music, company and Port & Cheese (stop diluting that beer Mr Barden, it'll get too salty *grin*)!! Just hope that Lady Fate is playing on our side too and brings good weather and safe travelling to all.

Also hope to get to see Breezy 'do his thing' on Padstow harbour sometime the week afterwards and also going to try to get to the Wellie session in Boscastle. Haven't been past the Devon border since my honeymoon in 1989 so I hope my passport's still valid!

You'll be scoffing Port & Cheese while I'm stuck in Kent. We arranged for youngest daughter to be home over Whitsun so we're unable to come to the festival. I'm right fed up now, I'm even crying in my beer:-)

Have a lovely time, and Geordie - give hugs to Jenny and hope she gets well soon, and tell her that her 'other dad' is wishing her well.

GP - looks like we have the makings of Port & Cheese parties at the Rugby Club then, will save up any currently in the fridge & see what can be added in!! Sorry to hear about the poorly JennyPen, hope she gives herself time to recover properly. BTW, agree The Lovely Shirl name, sign up Girlie - I'll get you singing yet!

Breezy, sounds from your text you got a hectic day today so I'll save the Choccie Bikkies for another time - may bring them to Padstow harbour so you can have a tea-break whilst others busk on your behalf.

So sorry you'll be missing this Sue, but know you'll have a Fab time at Chippenham!

Well it's good to read that Chris's account of what the Shiny Bums are doing is reasonably consistent with my account on the Shiny Bums thread!

Geordie - best wishes to JennyPen. I think I heard her sing Plaisirs d'Amour with her sister in a singaround hosted by Bill Jones at the Four Fools Festival when it was in Redditch.
