Well, nearly everyone, but you and Richard definitely are welcome MGAS.

It is likely that after this one the last for the season will be the April one (19 April) because then there will be different bunches of people (and sometimes all of us) missing each weekend at festivals and stuff.

If you lookat the Bisop Gundulf website, VT, you will see that there is something happening almost every weekend over the summer - July is a bit quiet so far - but a pretty hectic year is planned.

What is this Bishop Gundulf thing I read about, and now requiring groupies no less.If not too far buried deep in the Welds of Kent,
I believe an educated participation should be called for. I have met
some of the individuals and find them pleasant company. as to the group total never. Will it be educational to capture ?

I'll be missing on 19th. April as I have a gig that afternoon with Adrian O'. On Friday 17th and Saturday 18th. April the dancers and musicians from Gloucester will be 'chez nous', so if anybody is up to it we will be holding sessions on both nights from about 8pm until falling down time - and believe me these guys are GOOD. PM me for details of where the sessions will be held.

On the uvva hand, there is some troof in the opposite idea that any association would appear perficly sane by comparison.

You should however be warned that if you attend Dead Horse Morris there is a severe risk that Mark Lawson will tell you more than you ever dreamed possible (or wanted to know) about something. It could be almost anything. He is of course very well informed and interesting, but sometimes in more detail than you REALLY wanted.

Very likely.

There have been several invasions of Broadstairs as St Trinians Morris - some of the men are wonderful - and one as Slapper Morris, another as Mafia Morris, and so on.

Dilligaf can be VERY upfront, if you see what I mean...

I'm wondering, having read the inventively-family-publicising Rafflesbear's thread on "Feral Folk" whether the locals of Lower Coke (sorry, Stoke) count.

THere was the recent karaoke night when a girl presumably cristened "Charlotte" was to sing, but was missing (or should that have been a "p"?). The innocent operator announced "I'm looking for Charlie". A large gentleman with a flashing smile and a golden ring (spot the quote) announced "So's every other count in Lower Stoke".

Certainly Mad Mick and Sprout and his cousin John can, with the aid of a crossbow and a few dogs, can and do live off teh local marshes, and since they are not horses they must be folk, and since they live outside the norms of society are they not feral?

Or, since it is not a "Folk Club" whatever the blogspot says, is what we do there at least Folk Farouche?

I appear to have been hit with a throat bug - pain in throat while lecturing at about 9 pm last night, almost mute this morning.

The session will go ahead on Sunday but I will probably be able only to play, not sing - nor indeed chair the event.

Well considering Brian is doing a full Professional set up on my Ovation and I am buying a Tanglewood from him which has a full professional set I will have no Instrument this Sunday.
But I will have them all back by mid April so I will be ok for next session.

Richard I understand that The last Nags session this year will be April 19th. Is that correct ?
given plenty of notice I can book the weekend off. I hate missing these sessions because I enjoy them so very much.

Kev the cloggs and Val showed up for the Martin Carthy gig at Folkmob Wed and I was given a Events program for The Bishop Gundolf's Morris for 2009.
I am looking forward to attending has many has possible,

Finally have a great session Sunday
all the best
