Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: RTim Date: 11 Mar 12 - 01:46 PM Why do I always miss this by a matter of days!! I won't be in Oxfordshire next until April 26th!! Tim Radford |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Herga Kitty Date: 11 Mar 12 - 02:25 PM We have our tickets! Kitty |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: GUEST, Poxicat Date: 11 Mar 12 - 04:36 PM I imagine that now that Bluesman has announced his intention to be there with his friends from the Todenkopf SS, ticket sales will slow down. |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Merek'n'Dary Date: 18 Mar 12 - 01:53 PM Will be good to see you Bluesman! Glad tickets arrived Kitty! Bad luck Tim for missing what is shaping up to be a great weekend! Tickets still available. Check out Banbury Folk Festival website for details! D&M |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: GUEST, Poxicat Date: 18 Mar 12 - 03:44 PM Goodness me. If I were to come I'd definitely need to wear my T-shirt now |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: My guru always said Date: 19 Mar 12 - 06:29 PM Poxicat has me a little confused, I don't understand these references I'm afraid. But I'm really looking forward to Banbury Song & Ale, always an excellent weekend! |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Carol Date: 19 Mar 12 - 07:15 PM Same here Hilary |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Richard Bridge Date: 20 Mar 12 - 05:18 AM I understand Poxicat perfectly. A general reading of "Bluesman" posts should elucidate, but express clarification would breach one of Max's rules. |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Richard Bridge Date: 20 Mar 12 - 05:25 AM Some of the flavour of Bluesman is on this thread here: - thread.cfm?threadid=143916&messages=65#3325480 |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Merek'n'Dary Date: 20 Mar 12 - 07:56 AM OK we see some of you might be worried. All we know is that the Song at Banbury & Ale has always been a warm peaceable gathering and will continue to be so! D&M |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: GUEST,Seayaker Date: 20 Mar 12 - 08:47 PM My guess is that Guest Bluesman won't be anywhere near Banbury that weekend. I think that he is a troll and a flamer who just gets off on rattling the Mudcat cage. No comment is the best response; just use the thread to publicise the Banbury Folk and Ale. |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Richard Bridge Date: 20 Mar 12 - 09:05 PM The stench from Bluesman on the other thread just keeps getting worse. I would have suggested that a certain banner (somewhat similar to "Rock against Racism" but not exactly the same) be widely flown at Banbury. |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: GUEST,Seayaker Date: 20 Mar 12 - 09:20 PM On the other thread it's obvious that he is just poking a stick. Ignore him......discuss Banbury!! |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Merek'n'Dary Date: 26 Mar 12 - 12:15 PM Thanks for that Seayaker! Lets hope that this wonderful Spring weather continues throughout April although nothing would surprise me ..... we did have snow at the Song & Ale weekend one year! Cheers! D&M |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: RTim Date: 26 Mar 12 - 01:50 PM Merek'n'dary - hope the weather is also good the following weekend - for The Adderbury Day of Dance!! Best - Tim Radford |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: My guru always said Date: 27 Mar 12 - 08:10 AM Not long now. Really looking forward to this, such an excellent venue and a great weekend! |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Noreen Date: 27 Mar 12 - 06:37 PM Ah yes. Planning to be there, any suggestions as to local B&Bs, since camping is out for us this year? |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Carol Date: 27 Mar 12 - 06:41 PM There's a premier Inn just up the road |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: My guru always said Date: 28 Mar 12 - 02:13 AM Not camping Noreen, wassup? I wonder what lovely beers Nick will have for us this year???? |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Herga Kitty Date: 28 Mar 12 - 03:58 AM Various Hook Norton brews, at a guess.... not really compatible with camping following hip replacement? See you all there! Kitty |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: My guru always said Date: 28 Mar 12 - 11:24 AM Pssst, hot news - apparently April 21st we'll be able to see the Lyrids meteor shower!!! |

Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: GUEST Date: 30 Mar 12 - 01:17 PM And chocolate |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: My guru always said Date: 02 Apr 12 - 05:26 AM Oooh, did someone mention chocolate?? Usually only have chocolate at the Mudgather at the main Banbury festival, but I'm happy to be tempted *grin* |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: My guru always said Date: 13 Apr 12 - 03:58 AM Might start a new trend, you heard it here first! I have several items to bring to Banbury and none of them are chocolate...... |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: GUEST Date: 13 Apr 12 - 04:48 PM I have some Easter chocolate I can bring |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Carol Date: 13 Apr 12 - 04:58 PM You must be a very caring, SHARING type person to have chocolate left from Easter |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Zany Mouse Date: 13 Apr 12 - 05:39 PM Or buy a lot of leftover Easter eggs from Sainsbury's at 70% off. Enjoy Rhiannon |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: GUEST Date: 14 Apr 12 - 02:52 AM Just bought too many. Yummy see you there. |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: GUEST Date: 17 Apr 12 - 08:30 AM Not long now who knows who any of the surprise guests are? |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Carol Date: 17 Apr 12 - 09:32 AM ?? |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: GUEST,Baz Parkes Date: 17 Apr 12 - 09:54 AM who knows who any of the surprise guests are? Me, honest |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: GUEST Date: 17 Apr 12 - 05:25 PM I can feel the quickerning getting stronger woooo |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: GUEST Date: 19 Apr 12 - 12:56 AM That's not a surprise now baz |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: My guru always said Date: 19 Apr 12 - 05:25 AM Just one more day to wait & then we'll be at Wonderful Banbury again!!! Safe journeys everyone, see you Friday for lots of hugs, beer & good singing! |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Hamish Date: 19 Apr 12 - 07:43 AM Yay! See y'all Saturday lunchtime-ish :-) |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: GUEST Date: 19 Apr 12 - 08:14 AM Don't foget chocolate. |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: GUEST Date: 20 Apr 12 - 09:45 AM Here we come rainng or not |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: GUEST Date: 21 Apr 12 - 07:35 AM Anyone else coming |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Hamish Date: 23 Apr 12 - 04:25 AM Splendid! A thoroughly enjoyable couple of days on any one of a number of levels. Great singarounds, huge choruses, fine company and beer. And four* of the five surprise guests I saw were blinkin' good, too, including an absolutely sublime rendition of Pity Poor Felons on Saturday night. (Who were that trio? Magical.) Thanks Derek, Mary and all the crew for a fine do. Cheers, Hamish *Yes, I'm afraid I have to mention Folk Law who were simply awful. |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Acorn4 Date: 23 Apr 12 - 04:51 AM Bartram, Brookes and Weatherall were the trio. I agree it was certainly a great version of the song. The one sung around these parts doesn't seem to have the "in prison lie" line in the chorus. |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Richard Bridge Date: 23 Apr 12 - 05:00 AM Am I missing an in joke about Folk Law? |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Herga Kitty Date: 23 Apr 12 - 10:54 AM Thanks to everyone for a great weekend - especially the surprise guests who travelled long distances to perform without charge, and to Mary, Derek, Nick and Lesley without whom it couldn't have happened. Kitty |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: My guru always said Date: 23 Apr 12 - 04:21 PM Huge thanks to Mary & Derek, Nick and Lesley and all the surprise guests and helpers who made it such a fantastic weekend! |
Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Richard Atkins Date: 23 Apr 12 - 08:59 PM Mary & Derek we all know this weekend is special so I thank you. Nick & Lesley providing extra staff cover to enjoy being with us as friends rather than customers is so special. Such hospitality. Derek you owe them a drink mate ! A special thanks to Nick & Lesley from Richard |
