Quite correct Raggytash we should stick to the subject. Will some one please start a thread on the lines of Padget and Booker session in the Big Angel Folk Week? Who's in favour?

you're still at it Clarkie, you know Booker/Padgett/Knight credited with 10 years singarounds at 'Tap, Jim Magaeen still upset that we took it over with a change of Landlord!

All the regulars know where it is including the NEast people like Dave Minikin and Paddy and all the other Daves
Excellent support from Jim McD, Ken Johnson the Ducks all other folkie notables, including Herga Kitty and a good drop in for Southerners and expats from Oz such as Frits

Cloudstreet in there last year
I met such wonderful people last year on the folkie scene

If you want Big Angel you have it, unless of course there's money in it!!

I not trying to tempt you away from the Tap Ray! But the Big Angle is licenced till 2am. I thought you could start the Big Angle Big Sing after the Tap Shuts. It should be a piece of cake after Hervey's! :-)

As another Holmfirth virgin, I had a great time there. We only managed the one day on Sunday, as we danced in Sheffield on Saturday and our nice new friends there billeted us for both Sat and Sun nights. The singaround in the White Hart was good except for the smoke coming in when the door was a bit open, we did find the way upstairs pretty quickly. Evening concert was great and so were the mudcatters who I met there. Will hopefuly be able to make another pilgrimage which cooincides within the next couple of years.
Thanks for the good time, JohnB and the other members of Orange Peel Morris.(even though they are not catters) Ontario Canada.
