Au contraire Madame, It was in fact the landlord of my local who read about the cancellation of BERFF in the said journal. It's just I know there is a folk column once per week. Perhaps we could encourage the proletariat to riot in the streets of Beverley saying 'Le Pen is not welcome at the People's Voice'

Jim -nobody reads the Yorkshire Post. I suggest that we make up some salacious gossip in order to hit the Sun and Daily Star readership -i.e Morris dancing vicar stole my wife (ate my hamster) that type of thing. Seriously though -are we able to get any radio spots on Radio Humberside or Viking FM?

Well, he does offer a pub walks of Beverley if that's more to your taste Jim.

Wawne Brewery is already producing a festival ale but I don't think that Mike is up to bottling yet.

Sounds a bit like 'Jogging with Jesus' Roger !! A few years ago the Luton Folk Festival sold limited editions of a bottled Festival Ale perhaps Wawne Brewery might do that too...

For those interested in real ale - the new Landlord at the Sun is going to put on a beer festival during the folk weekend(there was one planned by the old regime)even though he hasn't done one before. He is taking advice from the local CAMRA branch is open to suggestions for beers to be included.

I've also made an approach to the guy who organises historical walks around Beverley to see if he would like to offer one on, say, Sunday morning - some people might appreciate a quiet stroll as a start to the day and T think that it would fit in with the general ethos of folk music.

Hi Pete,Les and everyone.

Ray Padgett has now officially agreed to run the Sun singaround on Saturday but we need someone(s) for Sunday - any suggestions or volunteers?

The meeting on Thursday will include quite a few licensees and I hope that we will make quite a bit of progress on what is happening where. I think that we need to get the programme pretty complete during the next couple of weeks so that Les can get the programme to the printers in order for it to be available by the end of May.

Pete - if you can lend me some photos at the next Nellies do I'll enlarge them for the Tourist Office window display.

Roger - Nikki (Niknak) has asked if we could include a 'fiddle club' on the programme list (possibly an afternoon 3-5pm. The idea is for fiddle players to get together and share tunes, techniques etc. We should be able to scape up enough fiddle players!

Also for the programme - a 'Poems and Pints' session for poets, monologists to get together.

Howdy everyone. Been meaning to look at this for ages. Word does indeed seem to be spreading. Do we have an official opinion from Chris Wade yet?

With regard to photographs, I have quite a good collection of photies taken in previous years of long sunny saturday afternoons at my session in Nellies beer garden....showing large audiences and numerous musicians in varying states of disrepair. Somebody let me know if you want to borrow them?

I have not, as yet, had a chance to get involved properly with PVFF, however I am available if I can contribute in any way. Perhaps the Nellies sessions? Also I'm sure Me n Dave the fiddle would be open for a gig if you have an empty slot. Let me know when the next meeting is, please? Cheers. [e-mail]

Btw

If anyone can turn up at the Sun tomorrow it would be nice because Keith has just asked me to run his session from 4 - 7pm. I'll be running my usual last Sunday one, that a lot of you come to, next week as normal so please come to that anyway - but if you could fit in another that would be great.

Actually, I only have one year's photos, which I did for myself. The others all belong to Beverley Folk Festival and are with Chris Wade (as are Richard's). Also they are mostly official events with performers on stage and not really appropriate for the Peoples Voice. I'll print one or two dance ones up to A4 and laminate them. If anybody has got general session or singaround shots, I can scan those and do the same.

Beverley Tourist Information Centre are going to turn one of their windows into a display advertising PVFF. Does anyone have any old instruments or folk related items that could be used in such a display? they will look after them but I wouldn't offer anything that you value highly as it is bound to be exposed to sun and could be a temptation to thieves.

And before anyone suggests that I am an old folk related item, I'm not volunteerring to sit in a window for a month. :-)

The Pigjig news is good. I think that at the meeting next Thursday(25th in County Hall, Beverley at 7pm) we need to discuss the non -pub events and work out a programme for those.

At that meeting we are hoping that quite a few licensees will come and I propose that we discuss their bookings and anything else that they need to know at the beginning so that they can get back to running their pubs and we can then talk through the more folky stuff.

Just a note to the two websites the correct spelling of my name is Jim McDonald, pedantic I know but after 48 years it stills rile me if people put 'Mac'. You can also put my slogan after any by-line 'Singer, Guitarist, Fat Bastard'.

I have suggested to Chris Wade this week that it would make sense for each of us to have a link to the other on our websites. In that way we could avoid any confusion between the two events and publicise both more effectively.

I found this discussion after hearing from someone on the barge project that there was a festival happening after all this year. After reading all the information here, I e-mailed the "official" festival web site, asking if they would put a redirect on their site, as I am sure there are many other regular visitors to the Folk Festival who would like to know that there was something happening this year. I got a very terse response from someone called Helen who said "The alternative festival is nothing to do with us". I have written back saying that I appreciate that its nothing to do with them, but that a link from their home page might be nice as the PVFF people are doing them a favour by keeping the weekend warm for them. I await a response!

In the meantime, may I suggest someone does a web search for sites advertising BERFF and e-mail them with details of PVFF. I've done this with a few, but every search engine I use comes up with a different list. So far I've had a few encouraging responses, so (most) people are happy to help.

I am almost at the stage where I will be delivering our preferred list of performers to those pubs that need guidance on bookings. Please let me know asap of anyone that you think should be included - ideally include name, contact details and a short description of what they do.

Be sure to check out the website regularly for updates on the provisional programme - it is being added to almost daily. The easiest ways to access it are through the link on cottingham-live or John's harpmaster site.

I have been interviewed today by both the Beverley Advertiser and the Beverley Guardian - in both I have emphasised that we are not the B&ERFF and that we are not seeking to supplant that. On the contrary our main aim is to provide continuity and that, perhaps, ourselves and chris Wade will be able to build on the future festival together.

Chris has been in touch and would like to meet to discuss the future- anyone else like to be part of that meeting?
