I've only recently figured out that two-thirds of Zoox are Token Women (note the importance of the capital letters!)

Probably can't get there for 24th November, 15th December, (pressure of work) but might make it for 19th January. Will get in touch nearer to that date because we'd be interested in the the 'indoor camping'.

Do you think if I advertised Viagra on the KFFC website more people might visit and buy tickets for the Winter Warmer Weekend?

You just did it on this thread, Paul: has it worked?

In general I'd advise against (for the avoidance of doubt just in case of the 0.00001% chance that you were serious; or the rather larger %age chance that someone else thought that I thought you were...)

Thanks for mediating those messages out.

Anybody happening along now will be most confused but there were briefly a couple of dodgy messages in the thread. And then I mis-spelt "mediated" as "meiated" which won't help decipher what went on...

I just ask you to have a quick listen if you haven't heard them (even if you don't intend to come!)....Trad or Trad style largely with some self penned "in the tradition" songs and all excellent singers.

Carol,

Plenty of space...The Black Horse has a very large, pleasant car park (overlooking fields with a distant view of The Dales). You will be the 4th (definite) campervan that I am aware of at the moment....plenty of room for some more, overnight toilet etc facilities are available in the pub.

Phil (The Landlord)has also promised to do cheap, large breakfasts on Sunday morning....he has to be up for the B & B guests anyway!

Cheers

Carol,

There are 4 real ales on at the moment as well....no not for breakfast, well unless you want to!

Here's the main menu again for the evening of 24/11/07:

Main Course: A contemporary take on a traditional Scottish dish with some Yorkshire overtones:

Wendy Arrowsmith

An exotic taste from the (soon to be) Mediterranean climes of Cornwall:

Kim Guy

A local Northeast dish, full bodied, robust and traditional:

Ian McKone

all followed by a little home cooking!

Full details at:
Kirkby Fleetham Folk Club

Come eat ,drink, sing, listen and be merry.

Anyone for a sing around the breakfast table?

Sounds good. We are playing at the Deep on the 23rd (my birday)and had decided to take off for the week afterwards,we're heading north so we'll see yu all there,by the looks of it you'll have a full house. cheers Oombanjo. Ps. you going Carol ?.

Villan....on a spit of course.

Nick.....Official start time is 8.30pm...Kim should be on stage about 8.45, Wendy's first set should be about 9.20 followed by a beer break, Ian will be on about 10, Wendy's 2nd set will be as close to 10.30 as we can and she should be finished by about 11.15pm when we'll sing around until we stop...music licence is til 2.00am. I suspect that some people who are traveling some distance and staying over may arrive early...there is nothing to stop an impromptu sing around before the acts as well. We will need time for sound checks 6.45-7.15.

oombanjo, that's fantastic, we look forward to meeting you. The response looks very promising, I'm sure it will be an excellent night.

Cheers
