Subject: RE: Basingstoke - any clubs in area? From: Guessed Date: 20 Sep 02 - 07:40 AM I remeber the "Go it, ancient B's " phrase and wondered where it has gone to. |
Subject: RE: Basingstoke - any clubs in area? From: GUEST,pavane Date: 20 Sep 02 - 03:11 AM By the way, the words to The Woad song are in the database, although not quite the same as the ones I remember. Main differences are: verse 2:
and Tramp up Snowdon ... last line: Go it, ancient B's The discussion threads point to a possible author, as below From Malcolm Douglas: It seems that W. Hope Jones was a master at Eton, and wrote the song, c.1921, for the college's Boy Scout troop. ("Gilwell Camp Fire Song Book" and comments on the web.)

Subject: RE: Basingstoke - any clubs in area? From: GUEST,pavane Date: 20 Sep 02 - 02:56 AM Thank you, treewind, for the info. Most enjoyable evening in Wherwell, and I am looking forward to the next one. (I was the one murdering Welsh tunes, as I am sure you have guessed.)

Subject: RE: Basingstoke - any clubs in area? From: Herga Kitty Date: 18 Sep 02 - 03:39 PM But the White Lion has had a Thursday club for years ... and anyway is Doug Bailey's local, so anyone recording at Wildgoose is likely to be found there after they've finished recording.... Kitty |
Subject: RE: Basingstoke - any clubs in area? From: Mr Red Date: 18 Sep 02 - 03:28 PM The Wherewell singaround may be two monthly clubs in different pubs. If you can contact the band Random House Keith the base player used to run the White Lion one. I spoke to someone at Bromyard or B'north who ran the other one. |
Subject: RE: Basingstoke - any clubs in area? From: pavane Date: 18 Sep 02 - 12:52 PM Hope to see you there then. What time? |
Subject: RE: Basingstoke - any clubs in area? From: treewind Date: 18 Sep 02 - 08:38 AM Ooops! s/later/latest/ |
Subject: RE: Basingstoke - any clubs in area? From: treewind Date: 18 Sep 02 - 08:37 AM The White Lion, Wherwell, generally 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month I think, but definitely this week (18th) - a singaroud, I'll be there, unusually. So will Keith Kendrick and others involved in KK's later recording project. (down the A303 towards Andover and turn left...) Anahata |

Subject: RE: Basingstoke - any clubs in area? From: Morticia Date: 15 Sep 02 - 06:56 PM Alas, the Fox and Hounds in Fleet is no more as I have heard it.They knocked through to the back room,such a shame IMO as it had been running 35 years or more. |
Subject: RE: Basingstoke - any clubs in area? From: pavane Date: 15 Sep 02 - 04:45 PM Thamks to all. Monday may be a bit soon, as I have to sort out somewhere to stay yet! |
Subject: RE: Basingstoke - any clubs in area? From: Paul Mitchell Date: 14 Sep 02 - 05:15 PM There used to be a session at The Fox in Fleet. I never went, of course, but heard about it. Might be worth giving them a call. Paul |

Subject: RE: Basingstoke - any clubs in area? From: Herga Kitty Date: 13 Sep 02 - 03:29 PM Morty - how long is it since you went to Readifolk? They moved from Piper's Island at least a couple of years ago, and even managed to move again between booking me and Les Sullivan at the beginning of this year and us appearing there in July. I think they are currently at the Clifton Arms in Gosbrook Road, Caversham - definitely Sundays though, so probably no good for Pavane. Is the monthly supper club (first Thursday) at the White Lion in Wherwell still going? kitty |
Subject: RE: Basingstoke - any clubs in area? From: Leadfingers Date: 13 Sep 02 - 02:02 PM Check with Shire Folk on 01865 769366,evenings and weekends-Its the Folk Mag for the South Midlands,and well worth getting hold of. |
Subject: RE: Basingstoke - any clubs in area? From: Morticia Date: 13 Sep 02 - 01:31 PM There is Bracknell Arts Centre on Wednesdays,Reading,at Pipers island but I'm afraid I can't remember which night although I think it's Sunday ( King Brilliant would know) and several things around here ( where I am, I mean), which would be about a 40 min drive, I guess.PM me if you want more details. |
Subject: RE: Basingstoke - any clubs in area? From: GUEST Date: 13 Sep 02 - 12:54 PM I think there's something bluesey out that way - but some Basingstoke folkies come over to Reading, so I presume there can't be too much over there. |
Subject: Basingstoke - any clubs in area? From: pavane Date: 13 Sep 02 - 05:02 AM I will be starting a new contract on Monday, and wondered whether there are any mid-week clubs or sessions in the area? (Friday to Sunday are no good as I will be doing a weekly commute). Thanks |
