Yes sweetfire, he was at the festival but he wasnt the magic piper that enthraled us in the early hours of that sunday morn.Norreen.Dicky can usually be found in the company of John the harp and Chrissie, busking around the Beverley.

I see that unspeakable bounder zoomercrap1.5% has made an appearance again -dont encourage him Norreen!!!!!

Why thank you honey (but I'm not worried). Dicky is an excellent piper we play different types of music so comparisons are futile (they are anyway)and I know that I am a competent piper, excellence will take a while longer (but I'm going to work at it and keep working at it untill old age and senility stops me - yes that would be about two months away then you sarky buggers!).

Gotta say, ladies and gents, that I have been totally confused and delightfully so as I - a PTH newby from the US - tried to figure out what this was all about.

Thanks for the lovely laughs. And I REALLY enjoyed the dialects I could hear in your postings.

And I REALLY wish I could have attended the playing. Did I get that right.... this was about a performance of some kind?

You are all such a riot! Can I tune in for the August 'event' and be just as enthralled??
Thanks loads,
Martha in Tallahassee - that's Florida -that's the US, where...lucky Floridians get to suffer with the Bush Boys...a governor AND a presidents. cough cough cough....

Hello Martabees - glad you are enjoying our little corner of this alternative universe. Its fun and we like it! It can get a little confusing in 'ere. PTH play gigs which are advertised and often discussed in these threads and the rest of the time we are talking about sessions or just plain old fashioned utter rubbish. Mostly it is the later.

Oh and incedentaly I've heard a roooomor that our vertuoso bum flute player has started taking steroids so that he can hit those high notes better. Wonder what he was mostly playing last night? KJ?

Ti's a shame smallpipes and sweetfire you wont be there. I have a slight suspician that we may be in for an exhibition of Step dancing by the deaner and nikki.

Deanie we get there about 9.00pm. SF its a session. Ah I fear that Deanie needs a few more lessons in the step dancing (remedial classes I think)however it would be a laugh to see! Indeed it would!

Goxhill (The Brocklesby Hunt pub)is a session, of sorts. It has been going on on a Wednesday night for the past 13 years. At times, it has been the only session in the whole of the world and was populated by every musician in the same. Many people have commenced or recommenced their musical activity there having always been met with support, encouragement and indifference in equal measure.

People travel from Sweden, the Scilly Isles and Barrow-on-Humber in order to be there. The Cara people and their manager are often in attendance but Oakley's violin sounds scratchier than normal in the peculiar acoustic environment. They (Cara)are currently rehearsing material for a second CD - of the planned 13 tracks, 12 are original and this includes three new songs.

The Goxhill session has never been the subject of advertising or promotion yet has endured for quite a long time. So something is probably right.

Hi MR
As one who has travelled from Lancashire to Goxhill (via a certain small dairy farm on the Humber's muddy banks), I can confirm that it exists.

And I had a lovely time there, thank you.

Will one of the tracks on this new Cara CD (which you just happenend to mention in passing but aren't plugging or anything, oh no) be of special interest to me perchance?

Hi Sireen. One of the tracks will indeed be called "The Slippery Hand".

Raggytash - thanks for your cautionary words, but don't worry. I'm not in any danger of That Bridge. The bridge that Billie Joe McAlister jumped from was the TallahATCHEE bridge, not Tallahassee, and I believe that puts it in northern Mississippi, not Florida. I recently drove across what may have indeed been that bridge and it was in a very ahem....rural.... section of the world. Tallahassee is not rural. We even have cable modem which is my new standard of live worth living.

Best to all of you sillies,
Martha in Tallahassee (Florida-USA) where it actually snows a few flakes every year in spite of the press that is sent worldwide which is largely relevant to middle and south Florida.

You didn't let anybody sing at your seisun did ya...?>? lol. Just bin reading all that bollox on the session thread. Thanks for the mention, Noreen!

Well, myself and Mrs DeMister went to Barton last night, but after 45 minutes of queueing with several thousand other bikes my testicles were about at boiling point, Mrs Demister was thoroughly miserable and we were still only at the top of the bloody hill! So we turned around, rode back to Beverley and had a thoroughly civilised pint outside Nellies. Hence my non-appearance at Goxhill.

The best laid plans of mice and men....

Hi people.My burfday is next week & we're having a bash at our hoose on the dark side (Barton) on 18th July. All are cordially invited to bring themselves, their instruments/voices/ears,lots of drink & a sleeping bag if anyone wants to crash on the floor. If you fancy it PM me & we'll let you know address & directions.
PS if the weather's OK & someone is sober enough to cook we'll probably have a BBQ too.

Thanks Karen, sounds wonderful! But I'll be helping to run a 'Singing Together' workshop (all those songs you remember learning at school? If you're of a certain age. S'fire, I'll tell you about it sometime!)that evening to open Saddleworth festival.

Can't you move your birthday to the Thursday? I could come then!
