Subject: KFFC......it's finger pickin good! From: Banjiman Date: 09 Sep 07 - 12:34 PM Kirkby Fleetham Folk Club is a new venture by um....me! Kirkby Fleetham is a beautiful village in the Heart of North Yorkshire, UK (Near Northallerton/ Bedale) very close to the A1 and therefore within easy reach of Leeds, Newcastle, Teeside and York. The club will be held in The Black Horse Inn which is not only a beautiful old pub but does excellent food and quality b& b. It also has a great, supportive new landlord and is my local! Th aim of the club is provide performance opportunities for the cream of local folk both trad and contemporary (and acoustic or other roots based stuff) acts and provide decent length floor spots for up & coming local talent and acts from elsewhere who want to raise their profile in this part of the world. We will probably , from time to time, book "bigger names" as funds allow. Please support live music in North Yorkshire and come along and support! If the club can get going it might offer you or your favourite act a paid performance opportunity in the future. Programme for the first 3 months of KFFC is now almost complete: 24th November- Wendy Arrowsmith (surprise, surprise!) + Kim Guy + wait & see!!!! 15th December- Keepers Fold (THE Folk Duo!)+ Joolz Cavell+ Phil Graham 19th January- Richard Grainger + Les Cameron & Barbara Helen + Nick (six fingers) Brooker *******Plans are also afoot for "The Winter Warmer" folk weekend in late Feb or early March. Keeping checking The Kirkby Fleetham Folk Club MySpace page for details. It would be great if you indicate any interest in this idea, my thoughts are that this will be based around the pub, with "performance" in the large restaurant/ back room and participative (singaround & musician session) in the 2 bars. I have organised indoor camping facilities (with heating but no showers) in the Village Hall which is 150 yards (metres!) from the pub. There is a large car park for campers/ caravans/ vans and limited B & B at the pub. The landlord says that the very hardy can pitch tents in the pub garden!********** Please let me know if you might be interested. Paul |

Subject: RE: KFFC......it's finger pickin good! From: Banjiman Date: 10 Sep 07 - 11:48 AM Mr Happy, phew....I thought no one was interested, I should have the date for the Winter Warmer confirmed in the next few days and hopefully some of the acts. I am working towards Feb 14th/ 15th as long as this doesn't clash with Doncaster (anyone know when this is planned for next year?) There will be indoor camping in the village Hall, min of 12-15 people to make this viable if people are prepared to pay £5 per night, not looking to make a profit on this so the more people (within reason)the cheaper it will be. I need to talk to the landlord to see if he is going to want people to pay for camping on his lawn, personally I think he should be paying you if you want to camp in February! Plenty of hard standing for campers/ caravans in the v. large pub car par and very limited B & B at £25 per person per night! Good Real Ales, plenty of performance/ singaround/ session space....sounds like a good un to me! |

Subject: RE: KFFC......it's finger pickin good! From: Mr Happy Date: 10 Sep 07 - 11:49 AM Any nighttime loos available, also water supply? |
|
Subject: RE: KFFC......it's finger pickin good! From: Banjiman Date: 10 Sep 07 - 12:19 PM If indoor camping there are loos and a kitchen in the Village Hall but no showers. If outdoor camping (you brave people) you will be able to use the facilities (toilets) at the pub (not the kitchen obviously!). I will check on availability of outdoor water supply tonight. Cheers Paul |

Subject: RE: KFFC......it's finger pickin good! From: BusyBee Paul Date: 10 Sep 07 - 04:19 PM Paul, I think Doncaster has moved into March, from what I could gather this evening from one of the organisers, it's probably the same weekend as Loughborough. So February should be OK!. Deirdre |

Subject: RE: KFFC......it's finger pickin good! From: Banjiman Date: 11 Sep 07 - 03:17 AM Would a Joe clone be able to change the title of the thread for me to "New North Yorkshire (UK) Folk Club & W/E" or as many of those words as you can fit in! Thanks Paul |

( with "performance" in the large restaurant/ back room and participative (singaround & musician session) in the 2 bars. I have organised indoor camping facilities (with heating but no showers) in the Village Hall which is 150 yards (metres!) from the pub. There is a large car park for campers/ caravans/ vans and limited B & B at the pub. The landlord says that the very hardy can pitch tents in the pub garden! Pub facitities with be available to campers/ vanners overnight) I am speaking to several acts with provisionally Wendy Arrowsmith, Brother Crow, Duncan McFarlane Band (in one guise or another!)and one or two others booked.

Tickets are likely to be around £15 for the w/e, £5 for Friday or Sunday and £8 for Saturday. No one will be taking profit out of the w/e but I will look to put a bit into KFFC coffers. Cheers Paul |

Subject: RE: KFFC......New North Yorkshire (UK) Folk Club From: Mr Happy Date: 17 Sep 07 - 11:14 AM Will it be all concerts or will there be seshes/sinarounds as well? |
|
Subject: RE: KFFC......New North Yorkshire (UK) Folk Club From: Banjiman Date: 17 Sep 07 - 12:35 PM Mr Happy, There will be a wonderful mixture...."performance" in the big back room and singarounds/ seshes (simultaneously and before/ after the performances) in the front 2 bars, some of the "acts" have also agreed to lead the singarounds so we should be some good harmonies going. There has to be some informal stuff or I would have nowhere to play my banjo.......no honestly I'm only joking...didn't mean to put anyone off.....come back...please! Hope to see you there. Paul |
|
Subject: RE: KFFC......New North Yorkshire (UK) Folk Club From: Mrs Banjiman Date: 17 Sep 07 - 03:47 PM Don't know if Paul has started separate thread on this, but know he is looking to see if any Morris sides might want to come along for Winter Warmer in February and do a bit of dancing on the village green. Any suggestions for vaguely locally-based sides in N Yorkshire locale? Mrs B |
