Subject: RE: Where's a list of 09 folk festivals? From: GUEST,Valmai Goodyear Date: 13 Oct 08 - 12:49 PM Dear Sue, MS stands for manuscript. In this case it's a collection of tunes from an individual player in Somerset, William Winter, who wrote them down by hand in a personal notebook in the 1800s or thereabouts. All the best, Valmai |
Subject: RE: Where's a list of 09 folk festivals? From: GUEST,Derek Schofield Date: 13 Oct 08 - 12:17 PM I explained that in my posting. MS - manuscripts. Cheers Derek |

Subject: RE: Where's a list of 09 folk festivals? From: GUEST Date: 13 Oct 08 - 07:30 AM Thanks to everyone who's answered Sue's questions before me, and my apologies for not having got back to this thread sooner - it's been a very busy weekend. Not least because we've had the excellent young singer, guitarist and fiddler James Findlay with us at the Lewes Arms this weekend. He's a New Roots competition finalist and a cracking good performer with his feet firmly in the tradition, but willing to experiment and innovate. We were expecting something pretty hot as Matt and Dan Quinn spoke highly of him after the competition. James is based in Dorchester. Regarding 'The Way Through the Woods' with Craig Morgan Robson: the idea is that groups of people will work on the songs and readings a bit in advance to bring them to the workshop day, when they can be polished and brought to stage standard. The whole show will then be part of CMR's evening performance at the club. Come to think of it, that weekend is going to be a bit like a small festival in its own right with the two workshops and evening performance on the Saturday; so is Brian Peters's in Feb/March. Oh, and the workshop list for the rest of this year is: 18th Oct Coope Boyes & Simpson Vocal harmony SOLD OUT 18th Oct Georgina Boyes Seminar: Wassails, Carols & Winter customs (pm) 25th Oct John Kirkpatrick Modes (any instrument)ONE PLACE LEFT 22nd Nov Roy Clinging & Neil Brookes Cheshire tunes (any instrument) 6th Dec Paul Hutchinson Accordion 6th Dec Paul Sartin Fiddle Belshazzar's Feast (evening) Valmai (Lewes) |

Subject: RE: Where's a list of 09 folk festivals? From: Willa Date: 11 Oct 08 - 05:59 PM Way through the Woods is a Craig Morgan Robson project. Not sure how this one woll work , but the one at Whitby festival was a daily one hour workshop during the week of songs and narrations on the topic of woods and trees, ending in a concert at the end of the week. Tremendous fun and very effective. |

Subject: RE: Where's a list of 09 folk festivals? From: Suegorgeous Date: 11 Oct 08 - 01:46 PM Thanks Derek, that's very helpful to know. Though I can't really wait til then for my purposes, as festivals seem to be booking bands right now... So guess I'll have to work from last year's list, and for any new festivals from your list - cheers. Valmai - not really what I was asking for, but still really useful to know. I presume the list will be on the website at some point? I once went to one of your workshops, found it very good, and your list makes me want to go again! Gosh, didn't know Tommy Peoples was still alive! and can you tell me (it's probably obvious) - what does MS stand for? and what is Way through the Woods about? Many thanks. Sue |
