The General Crew will be Lucy Stocks (the Captains Daughter), The Bosun Sam Stocks, Mel Higgins(Main Topsails) and The Captains Mate Marie Blackburn.

Oops wrong timetable!!
I've just sent the correct one to Alan so expect it on the site soon. There should be no ? on it so if there are it's still the old one.
Sorry about that - I should have binned old versions.

I'm pleased to announce that the timetable is now available on the web site but must stress that it may change although any change is likely to be minor and may not actually happen at all!!
Also following a request last year for information about workshops you will now find that - scroll down the list of artists and you will find it at the bottom. Not the most obvious place but it's there!

The Beverly Beck Shanty Festival is now part of the Heratage Festival
and it's in Beverly East Yorkshire. Steve Gardham of the Yorkshire Garland was threatening to bring his Yacht up the Beverly Beck for the Heratage Festival this year.Cleethorps F F sadly has already been asigned to History. Hence the Moor and Coast Festival rematerializing next year on the Old Cleethorps FF Weekend.

I'm pleased you had yet anouther brilliant weekend in Barnsly well done Ray. We are all looking forward to your Wibberly Wobberly Workshop at Holmfirth FF again. Here is a Link to Holmfirth FF and one for the Yorkshire Garland Web Site

Beverley Beck, I'm not sure whether this is on this year Tyke!

Check with Ossonflags!!

We at Yorkshire Garland have all sorts of things in the pipeline like Sympsiums and Workshops, whatever they are!!

Anyway watch out for the Yorkshire songs things at Holmfirth ff and Andrew Rogers who is a character and a fine singer!

Only 3 places at once in Holmfith? I once started the Night at the Grove F C in Leeds then I drove over to Knarsbough F C with the Tykes News and Started the night their as well.:-)

The timetable should be on the web site as soon as Alan has time to put it on.
Important though that it isn't taken as gospel - it's been sent to artists and no one has told me that I'm expecting them to be in three places at once. It may change slightly but not a great deal. The definitive version will be in the programme which should be out for sale (only £1 - how can they do it?) a couple of weeks before the event.
The weather's practising now so let's keep fingers crossed.

I'm just slow and methodical Cath last year I was running my other caravan which had a gas heater. So I was out and about in the snow but this year van has not moved since Whitby F F. So it needs a goods service. I shall be off to a secret loacation the weekend before Holmfirth F F and then after Holmfirth Beverly Beck Heratage Festival. I was a bit misleading but as far as i concerned the Summer Festivals start with HOLMFIRTH!

Having heard about several scruffly dressed men with hagard faces being burnt on Bonfires in and around Holmfirth in November 2008. Several of us have become concerned! So Soldier boy could you send me a PM so that we know that it was not you!

The timetable should be on the web site soon - there's some cracking stuff going on. It will still be draught and might not show the times up exactly but it will give a pretty decent idea of who is where and when. The proper programme should be out by April 24th ish I think.

I hadn't seen Jim for years which is one of the reasons for putting him on. All being well he will be the guest in Les Caveaux on Friday night and he'll be doing something on Saturday as well.
All welcome as Tyke says.
There's a change on Friday at the Picturedrome as Mark Radcliffe can no longer make it - I'm told The Men They Couldn't Hang are substitute!

To anyone reading this thread please note this is a very friendly festival it's one of reasons we all go year after year. If you have never been before you can be sure of a warm welcome. I can only apologise for my friends and myself who forget that when we indulge in our banter we may appear to be excluding those who have never been to the Festival before. You will not be excluded you will be made welcome it's a Great Little Festival.

The web site is back up - I think Tyke did one of those blue clicky things for it so why not have a look?
Even if I say so myself it's a pretty impressive line up thanks to Peter at the Picturedrome and Ged at the Open Mic. The Peatbog Faeries are still to go on the site - they are at the Picturedrome on Thursday May 7th to set things off for the weekend.

Angie Wright is also appearing as a soloist at :

The Lymm Festival 27th-28th June,
The Lomond Festival 24-26 July
The Isle of Colonsay Festival 17th-20th Sept

But she was invited to those.
Perhaps its because Anne is not with her that they let her in!!!!

With reference to Rob the Roadie - I'd be interested to know where Taggart and Wright will be playing - as the person who is putting the programme together I know nothing of it!!
