ouchh Pete... capslock is splitting my eyedrums.

Growler... when you say that Wee Jock, Mrs Jock and fiddle bird are booked - do you mean they have previous engagement or they are coming to Stoke?

We will have Sleepy R with us and we can collect 1 other at Rochester Station, so long as they are not carrying too much kit. I am leaving my instruments at home this time so small boot is available, but not for bodies.

Anyone Hat or Shirt persons or any others named by items of clothing, please PM me.

What about Mr Fiddlebird? He may not play or song a lot but he could no doubt help with the beer drinking...

SleepyR is new to folk and not been to session as far as I know. She has expressed a tiny bit of hesitation.

I don't know the true identity of Rafflesbear. I thought he was conncted to LadyRaffles. Think her name is Sue. She sang with Naughtyforty at GI Wassail. Might be wrong though.

Would be great to see so many descend upon the Nags Head. Will the landlord recover?

Yes, I forgot Sleepy Rosie. She seemed quite able to look after herself on threads and I am sure need show no fear in person.

Norman! GOod idea. I will email Growler about him and Steve, and Wee Jock.

Romany Man is I think coming, but I have yet to hear him sing (except for the occasional chorus) ever. I know I can't hear Treacle and Obvious, but I don't know if they are coming.

Do you mean that the identity of Rafflesbear is about to be revealed?

I am sure Girl Friday will keep us informed about their movements and thos eof the Leopard Cubs (here, kitty, kitty, you can play the ladderframe Hagstrom...)

VT and the Silent One will be bringing Sleepie Rosie. She has accepted my invitation. Go easy on her she is a newbie.

What about (is his name) Norman? Brings almost as many instruments as you RB, to the Good Intent. Oh but he does some sort of boating thing on Sundays in Canterbury doesn't he?

Also there is weeJock/John?

And what about Romanyman and Steve May?

Do ya think TDL is up for it yet? What is the latest on Mumblin Len?

And if anyone knows Paul of Sheppey, can they find out if he knows that young woman Jo from same place? I would love to hear her again.

We can pick up Pete the Hat in Chatham, or Rochester or Strood if he needs a lift. Unless Essex Girl has arranged transport for the FolkMob. Oh I forgot Dave Kenningham and Rafflesbear and his Lady.

Refresh:

Time to sort out who is coming in the hope that we can put on a good show.

I think we probably have Essex Girl, Woodsie, George, Fisheye and Fair Maid of Nottingham, Pete the Hat, maybe the Barden of England, and also NaughtyForty and apprentice - and Virginia Tam and the Silent One, oh, and Melodeonboy and Growler and probably Fiddlebird. And Dead Horse who has even indicated he might be a source singer and bring us some songs not often heard, from the heyday of Elsie's Band.

Maybe DonT?

Is anyone in touch with SheppeyPaul?

I'll email Hakuna Matata

I'm not sure I have an up to date email for Richard Matthewman.

Is anyone in touch with Keith Pearson or Dave Leigh?

Anyone else I should be chasing?

Kev the Clogs and Dilligaf are of course pretending to be 400 years old that day!

""JB perhaps somebody could invent a capo for the violin. then cut little notches on the neck for positions/keys""

There's already a perfectly adapted capo for the violin, which can in fact do far more than the standard bar type capos commonly used on guitars.

It is a rather more complex five piece setup which can be very rapidly moved up and down the neck, to achieve the desired effect.

It is normally referred to as the "Hand".
