Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: BusyBee Paul Date: 09 Oct 07 - 04:50 PM Oh my gawd, no wonder you have to keep taking the tablets BWM! Back to title topic - still plenty of tickets and, as Treasurer, I'm more than happy to take your money in exchange for them!. Come and join us, if only to give GS and BWM something else to do instead of thinking about Myrtle's corsetry..... BBP Da Management |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Georgiansilver Date: 09 Oct 07 - 05:10 PM Excuse me!!!! and who said I was thinking about Myrtles corsetry? Bit presumptious there BBP...never seen it so can't imagine! Now if Flossie wore a nice bit of corsetry..well that's another story! |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Rasener Date: 09 Oct 07 - 05:21 PM Calm down GS, your blood pressure will be rising again. |

Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Sooz Date: 13 Oct 07 - 08:26 AM Thanks Al. We have a bit of competition this year with the World Cup final on Saturday night. The postal strike is bad news for ticket sales as well..... Still, I'm going to enjoy myself! |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Lowden Jameswright Date: 13 Oct 07 - 01:39 PM Looking forward to our first visit - anyone recommend a B&B for Sat night? |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Rasener Date: 13 Oct 07 - 02:34 PM Do you want to be in gainsborough itself, so you don't have to drink and drive, or are you prepared to be a little outside of Gainsborough? |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Zany Mouse Date: 13 Oct 07 - 02:51 PM Hope it goes well. Sadly we can't be there. Rhiannon |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: BusyBee Paul Date: 13 Oct 07 - 04:26 PM Lowden - PM sent regarding B&B. |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Backwoodsman Date: 14 Oct 07 - 04:49 AM I might come if I'm not doin' nowt else. S:0) |

Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Travelling Audience Date: 15 Oct 07 - 04:46 AM Dropping off end ....refresh!! |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Big Al Whittle Date: 15 Oct 07 - 04:49 AM is there any craft fair or anything like that in the old hall? |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Sooz Date: 15 Oct 07 - 12:33 PM There will be stalls (hardly enough in number to call it a craft fair!) CDs, soaps, jewellery, paintings and pottery. |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Rasener Date: 15 Oct 07 - 01:14 PM Isn't Mr Sooz selling his wares? |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: GUEST,Mark Addison Date: 15 Oct 07 - 04:19 PM Just to let you know that there are are two huge Rugby Union fans in Byard's Leap...at least on the England Team side..but we'd still rather be on stage with you all...or in the play along session beforehand. Looking forward no end to this weekend (Though will admit to having videos set - don't tell us the result!) |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Big Al Whittle Date: 15 Oct 07 - 06:23 PM I always think there is something homo-erotic about rugby fans. They make the ball that shape - just so they can keep dropping it, and bending down in front of each other to pick it up. Anyone who would watch rugby instead of enjoying folk music is a bit strange and wants watching, in my opinion. |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: BusyBee Paul Date: 16 Oct 07 - 01:26 PM To misquote Eddie Waring: It's an under and up - back to the top! (Before you lot start - I'm talking about getting thread back up to the top of the heap - so calm down!) |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Rasener Date: 16 Oct 07 - 01:35 PM >>Anyone who would watch rugby instead of enjoying folk music is a bit strange and wants watching, in my opinion. << I am sure nobody would do that, would they. Well would they? >>It's an under and up - back to the top!<< I will resist lowering the tone, but it begs an answer :-) |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Rasener Date: 16 Oct 07 - 03:17 PM Well I can say that I will be there on Saturday and i will be giving 2 matches up. The first is Aston Villa V Manchester United The second England V South Africa If I can give those up in the interests of Folk, then there is no excuse for anybody else. |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Rasener Date: 17 Oct 07 - 02:48 AM Who else is going? |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Lowden Jameswright Date: 17 Oct 07 - 03:20 AM I'm giving up my Sheffield United season ticket for a trip down to the festival - would have been going anyway but Bryan Robson has made it much less painful for me |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Rasener Date: 17 Oct 07 - 03:27 AM LOL |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Big Al Whittle Date: 17 Oct 07 - 04:47 AM I've got my sister and brother in law over from Cornwall for the weekend. We wondered about taking them to see the Old Hall at Gainsborough - if theres a few stalls for them to look at and a few floorsingers to listen to - we could have some cake and capucinno and get wet. I'm not sure theres anybody that really floats my boat concert wise - my brother in law's a Steeleye Span fanatic - I'm not sure theres much for him. Ken Nicol or Bert Jansch would do it. |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Big Al Whittle Date: 17 Oct 07 - 04:55 AM Or there are cheaper alternatives like Steve Hicks and Tristan Seume - you know - really shit hot guitarists. |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Sooz Date: 17 Oct 07 - 05:39 AM Al, it isn't going to rain! I think you will like Rik Palieri who is on on Saturday afternoon. The evening concert promises to be absolutely brilliant. |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Big Al Whittle Date: 17 Oct 07 - 06:47 AM Sooz, if its important to you that it doesn't rain - I'd better stay away. It always rains when I go to Gainsborough. The Almighty sees me set off down the A1 and unzips his flies...... |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Rasener Date: 17 Oct 07 - 08:04 AM ROTFLMAO Well I just had a look at the 5 day forcast for Gainsborough and this is what it looks like Gainsborough 5 day forecast Lets hope they are right and you are wrong Big Al with your Prediction |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Big Al Whittle Date: 17 Oct 07 - 08:52 AM I can see you doubt the efficacy of my weather predictions. I will do my best to persuade the family to come and bring your sou'westers! |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Lowden Jameswright Date: 17 Oct 07 - 09:02 AM If you've not seen Anthony John you should definitely be there WLD - and I'd appreciate some shithot percussion for accompaniment - bring your bongos |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Big Al Whittle Date: 17 Oct 07 - 09:29 AM seeen him and his droves of fans (which must mean something). obviously a nice guy. bit too nice for me. I like people who bite and shout gratuitous insults. Or like leadbelly (another one they never book) who used to kill people now and then. PS I have bongos, but I'm not really a drummer. Its a reference to Paul brady's most famous song. |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Rasener Date: 17 Oct 07 - 02:18 PM Mr Sooz actually spoke on Radio Lincolnshires Folk Programme tonight. Well done Tom Lane for making him talk LOL :-) |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Big Al Whittle Date: 17 Oct 07 - 04:29 PM Vee haf vays of making you talk. For you Tommy, the morris dance is over..... |

Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: BusyBee Paul Date: 18 Oct 07 - 10:39 AM Hope to see you there Carol. Deirdre |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Pwitz Date: 18 Oct 07 - 02:01 PM Nudge to the top. Things will be off to a start 25 hours from now! |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Rasener Date: 18 Oct 07 - 02:07 PM How many times will the clock go tick tock in the 25 hours Pwitz? I am hoping to be there tomorrow night as long as the tick tocks haven't sent me to sleep. |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Sooz Date: 18 Oct 07 - 02:23 PM Wish I had time to listen to clocks ticking! |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Carol Date: 18 Oct 07 - 02:27 PM Mine's given up needs a new battery! |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Rasener Date: 18 Oct 07 - 03:09 PM Can't stand clocks ticking myself :-) Will we need warm clothing in the Old Hall? |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Sooz Date: 18 Oct 07 - 03:36 PM Winter drawers on at the very least! |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Rasener Date: 18 Oct 07 - 03:39 PM I'll bring me hot water bottle. |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Rasener Date: 19 Oct 07 - 01:17 AM Is there food and drink that can be purchased at the Old Hall or do I need to bring my flask (hot water bottle) and sandwiches? |
Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Sooz Date: 19 Oct 07 - 03:10 AM The Old Hall tea room is excellent (and quite a lot warmer than the rest of the building!) I've just heard the weather forecast and it is very good (whatever Mr Whittle promises.) |
