It'll be great. Scraping the green slime off the caravan in preparation - might even find time to rehearse a new song or two for the singarounds. If it's as good as last year it will be fantastic.

Look forward to seeing you all.

Pete, Jools and Holly (Whipstaff)

Hazel,

Here's the response I had from Jeanette Grainger who is organising this side of things:

Hi Paul,
There should still be space on the Museum's hardstanding (car park) with no facilities on site - just the use of museum loos/wash basins. Just let me know if that's what you want and I'll reserve it for you.
Otherwise, we have reserved all of the spaces at the pub caravan park next door so you can book one of them at �7.50 per night. They have electric hook - up and water/waste disposal and use of pub's toilets during opening hours.
If you would like one you need to contact the pub direct (01751 417343) telling Phil (the landlord) that you want one of the reserved spaces and which nights you need it. Please cc to me so I know what's still available. If anyone else is interested please tell them that I need all pub bookings to come to me first so I know when to stop telling people they're available.
I believe the Caravan Park at the end of the village is fully booked and the one next door told me they were going to be adults only this year - but you could still call them in case he has changed his mind.
Anyway, please let me know when you have things decided/sorted.
Cheers,
Jeanette

Hope you get sorted.

Paul

We've booked into the pub caravan site. If, by any chance, you can't get in, there is an excellent caravan park a few miles down the road in Rosedale where we stay from time to time. We stayed there last year but, obviously, it's much better if you can get in close to the venue (especially as, in our case, there's a possibility that a modicum of alcohol may be consumed). :)

Yorkie,

Yes, lots! Plenty of indoor spaces and outdoor hidey holes in the museum. We also have a big awning on our van....... I expect sessions and informal muscic making of all types will take place in all these locations and more!

We played Deal Folk Club in Kent on Friday. Quite a contingent coming up for Ryedale from there as well!

Sorry to hear that Deidre...you'll miss the first outing of the new "Brother Crow" multimedia show...

...We're doing a stint in the Manor House on Saturday afternoon, where we'll be talking about the people, places and history behind the songs, with pictures/video (yes, we've even got photographs of Tom Barton, Will Stones etc. etc.)...oh, and we'll be playing the songs we talk about as well!!!

The programme should be available around the end of this week, and having seen the draft, I have to say it will be a good 'un...

Graeme,
Brother Crow.

Can anyone give me info about the KFC Song competition on Sunday Afternoon, please?

Also is there any transport to from Hutton-le-Hole to Farndale for the Friday Night do?

Subject: RE: Ryedale folk weekend
From: Banjiman
Date: 11 May 09 - 06:43 AM

Nutty.

Re The KFA songwriting competition, best thing to do is email Richard Grainger and let him know you want to enter. PM me if you need his email address, I think you'll find it on the website link above though.

There were 3 heats last year won by (Ryedale) Andy Davidson of Brother Crow, (Scarborough Seafest) Wendy Arrowsmith and the 3rd heat ended up at the KFFC Big Birthday Bash (though this is a completely seperate organisation) and was won by Rebekah Findlay. Becks won the overall KFA song of the year 2008. Both Wendy & Becks also play in "Blind Summat!" and have a duo "One Stone" as well as doing their solo thing.

I am not aware of any transport on Friday night, we are swithering with just staying in Hutton-Le-Hole rather than travelling to Farndale. Parking is tight in Farndale (especially for a van) and we'll have the kids with us, so we would probably need to leave early anyway. If you fancy a wee session under our awning in H-L-H?

See you there

Paul

That is one hell of a programme!

Nutty, last year I just entered the songwriting competition when I got there - I'm going to do the same this year. If you want a lift from the campsite to Farndale on Friday, we'll be happy to oblige.

Deidre - sorry you're not going to be there; we were looking forward to seeing you again.

Graeme - multimedia show sounds like fun. I expect you'll be going on a worldwide lecture tour next!

Date: 12 May 09 - 04:58 PM

Hiya, yes we're looking forward to the whole weekend, but particularly the multimedia show...it'll be the shortened version as we've only an hour and a quarter...

...yes, we've put together a slide show - lots of photographs of the people, places and background to the songs and the like, even some video as well, so it'll be a bit of a history lesson with music...!!!

We hope to take it out on the road later in the year...

...watch out for us over the rest of the weekend we've a fair number of slots, and we will be playing quite a few new songs from our upcoming third CD (due in the autumn all being well) to be called Dreams of Flight!

Graeme,
Brother Crow.

P.S. In case you hadn't heard, Andy is getting married on 6th June (yes, really)...we'll be on site all weekend (except Friday), so will be around for beer, late night sessions and...errr....more beer!

"so will be around for beer, late night sessions and...errr....more beer! "

We could make the weekend an extended stag and hen party _ we'll be coming well-stocked with beer and wine (just in case the pub runs out).

Thanks very much Paul and Pete for your kind offers re Friday evening. Sorry I've been so long in responding but I have to attend a family funeral on Friday afternoon so I have no idea what time I will be arriving at the site,

I might just settle for an early night.

"Banji & Leveller in shorts is just too much!"

I know. But we're used to women swooning all over us when we display our masculine physiques. It can be hard being a sex symbol sometimes, though.
