Great news about the poster being 'spotted'. In year to come are they going to say 'ah well I thought it were a Class 22 but in reality it were a PVFF poster circa 2002'

I saw a poster for the PVFF at the National at Sutton Bonington at the weekend so its on the map, so to speak. By the way Sue vG sang Linda's Sparehand in one of the informal sessions and it was well received - fame beckons!

I'm going to distribute a few posters locally in Liverpool and Wirral, but please don't blame me if a vanload of scousers turns up singing sea shanties.

Willa - I'm getting worried if you think I'm beginning to sound like a Yorkshireman. Most people comment that I take on a ditinctly Irish brogue - especially after a pint or three of the black stuff!

As I've just said to Roger in an e-mail. I think now is the time to shout out about the fest being 'on'. There are still a people telling me it's off. I've sias I'll prepare a basic Press Release and send it to a number of sources. I think some of the media should pick up on what we've done and may want to talk to some of us !! you never know.

John - a respons to your two postings

I did suggest to Chris in an email early on that they could put a redirect on the official website but have had no response to that. Since I don't know Chris, perhaps someone that does could suggest it again.

I'm sure that Rollo would do something along those lines. At the moment I'm concentrating on getting the acts booked into the pubs and it would be great if others would run with the workshop arranging - what types, who to run them, where to run and at what times on what days.

Me again.Do you think King Rollo will do a blues work shop on guitar. John Harrison and I are getting up a few shanty songs on fiddle and banjo to help out at the Beck , what about Les & Maggie or any others. I am also about to Email Saddleworth festival, as a contingent from that area come every year and some of them are shanty singers

Roger we'll take 100 flyers and hand them out at our gigs if you don't mind posting them to us. If you e-mail me at [e-mail] I'll forward my address to you and dish them out with pleasure. I've had so many people ask me about the festival and it's been great to be able to tell them what's been going on. Keep up the good work all of you, you are stars!

We are talking to the landloard (Philip) of the Queens head pub(Beverley market) at the moment. He interested in Christine & I (and our friends) running some sessions. Maybe a harp workshop??? he's into folk and he's fallen for Chrisy's voice, and my harp! And he's heard our CD! If he pays us for sessions, (looking promising) We will donate it to PVFF. More as it progresses. 'Question', Would anybody be interested in a harp workshop???John&Christine.

Following the meeting last night, we have now taken delivery of 10,000 flyers (designed by Les from Hull). Anyone who feels that they could distribute some around clubs, festivals etc should pick them up from Hodgson's pub in Beverley(if you are local) or I will mail them if you send me your address and an indication of how many you want.

We are now working in co-operation with the Barge Preservation Society to incorporate a shanty event around the Beverley Beck and the East riding Council have given us some money towards printing advertising etc.

The next meeting will be at County Hall in Beverley on Thursday 25th April at 7pm when the cheque will be presented officially so that we can get a photo and story in the local paper.

See the website for regular updates as acts are booked into the venues - so far we have Banoffi on Saturday night and Dog House Skiffle Group on Sunday together with workshops from Sam Pirt(accordion), John Harrison(fiddle) and Gifford Rolfe(songwriting)and a folkclub run by Cottingham Live on Saturday afternoon. However, this is just the beginning and another 11 pubs have yet to fix up who is playing at their venue and when.

Date: 11 Apr 02 - 05:33 PM

greg, thanks to a happy concatenation of events you can come after all... (prophesied by Nostradamus, of course!- "In the year when the long-lived Queen of the bows and the lion dies, and the five wanderers meet in line, then the red rose shall briefly outshine the white and the mountains be swallowed by the sea while great music is made by the people )

As interpreted by neo-structuralist scholars of the University of Port Sunlight this means that after the death of Elizabeth the Queen Mother (born Bowes-Lyon) and following the planetary alignment, Lancaster will dominate York while the Pennines (thanks to the efforts of a team of Dutch tunnellers) are temporarily moved east into the North Sea for the duration of the People's Voice Folk Festival. However you should be aware that a 12th century byelaw still permits the killing by longbow and arrow of any Welch, Southron, or infidel of Cheshire on the third Sunday of the month.

Takes me about 12 minutes, Julie. Whilst you're here you could go to sessions at
The Kingston in Hull on Friday,
The Sun (Tap and Spile)in Beverley on Sunday (4pm to 7pm)
The Tap and Spile on Spring Bank in Hull on Sunday evening, and
Nellie's in Beverley on Monday night! All good venues.

Speaking as a Yorkshireman married to a Lancastrian (from Blackburn)I am open minded about these things and the PVFF will be equally open I hope - we'll even allow Southerners in!

I contributed to the original thread, and then lost track when it got too long for me to read. Delighted to get back in touch and realise how things have progressed. I would love to come, but unfortunately I promised my grandmother on her deathbed that I would never cross the pennines into Yorkshire.

I resemble that remark Janet. I like the plenipotentiary bit Matthew. I think letting the Port Sunlight branch in is OK but I draw the line at 'proper' Scousers I mean think of effect that could have on the hubcap poulation of Beverley !! Like the idea of a potential People's Ceilidh to add to the events !! If we're using words like plenipotentiary can I add my fave 'Hierachical Meritocracy'

Is the festival open only to citizens of the People's Republic of East Yorkshire? Can fraternal delegates from Merseyside attend, or even Lancastrians?

Provided that I can obtain a (doctored) certificate from the International Socialist Splinter (New PostModern Marxist Faction) Group I shall come as the Plenipotentary Delegate from the Port Sunlight Branch (membership=1).
Looking forward to this!

Yeah, my 'net connection went down AGAIN....thats 3 times inb about 5 months, & offline for 3-4 weeks each time (this time was my 'fault' though... cash problems, so couldnt pay my phone bill, & they cut me off w/out warning!)

I bumped into Les yesterday, as I was on the way to pay the phone bill, & he was telling me about all the progress the PVFF was making, but as I say, its good to see everything really coming together as shown here....& that there is a 'Timetable' of stuff on CottinghamLive... I'd not seen that site before.

I need to get to a few sessions, etc, & keep in touch with people that way!

Wow! I'm amazed at how much this has snowballed! (Having been offline for a Month, & not seen the progress... or been to any of the meetings, partly because I cant make the PVFF anyway)

I can't think of any real contribution I can make -certainly not if Gary & Bron & the 'Scout-y lot' can be persuaded to man the 'Campsite'... they know the drill as well as I do, though if they can't do it, it has to be manned by someones - Campsites attract kids & other curious locals.

At the moment as I understand it. Sam Pirt has agreed to do a workshop free but I'm sure others may come on board. I think workshops can be usefull for making the morning more bearable before the pub opens !!! Maybe we can organise some other morning activities like cricket !!!, naked mud wrestling, clay bodrhan shooting or perhaps Wawne Brewery will allow brewery trips !!

Please pass MCFat's message along; word of mouth is surprisingly effective, and the first priority now that things are shaping up so well is to get the news to as many people as possible, before they make other arrangements for that W/E. I think the flyers will be ready soon.
