Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: John Routledge Date: 08 Sep 03 - 05:04 PM By coincidence spent a couple of hours on Saturday listening to recordings by Chris Foster. What a fine fine singer. With Threlfall Ellison and Edwards to start the day and John Kirkpatrick to finish!! What a day. If only Tom McConville could be persuaded to give an Alexander Technique demonstration :0) |

Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: Dave the Gnome Date: 09 Sep 03 - 07:54 AM Bit close to the Swinton date (25 Oct) for me I'm afraid H & S. I would need special dispensation to disappear for 2 weekends:-( See you up there soon though. :D |

Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: Noreen Date: 09 Sep 03 - 08:23 PM I was looking forward to this... but hadn't noticed that I'll be in America at the time. Bother- want to do it all! Have a wonderful time. And G- bring an umbrella :0) |

Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: Zany Mouse Date: 10 Sep 03 - 04:09 AM Mick and I intend to attend. Any room for a campervan though? ZM |

Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: Harry Basnett Date: 10 Sep 03 - 02:02 PM Great stuff, George...looking forward to seeing you both! Rhiannon - - it'll be lovely to see you and Mick again and there's area used for parking opposite the pub. Noreen - - next time ,eh? I'm sure America should provide some consolation for missing John Kirkpatrick! :0) |

Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: GUEST Date: 11 Sep 03 - 07:06 AM Sounds good. |

Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: GUEST,Little lost soul Date: 11 Sep 03 - 01:07 PM er, nothing but 3 in a row? |
|
Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: Noreen Date: 11 Sep 03 - 01:18 PM Little lost soul, if you're enquiring about the format it's explained in the introductory post: We'll be following the tried and tested formula of excellent guest spots interspersed with singarounds. If you want to know something else, make it more clear what you want? |
|
Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: Harry Basnett Date: 11 Sep 03 - 05:19 PM Thanks, Noreen...I don't want to get bogged down with this because it shouldn't be what Mudcat is all about, but I rather think 'little lost soul' is a certain person who makes a nuisance of himself on Manchester related threads with boring regularity. He's not funny and is in grave danger of making himself very unpopular. 'Nuff said!! Harry. |

Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: GUEST,Little lost soul Date: 11 Sep 03 - 05:23 PM So where do you stand on the origin and evolution of the Uillean Pipes then? |

Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: GUEST,GUEST, Soul-less Date: 11 Sep 03 - 07:39 PM Right on the drones, Little lost soul.... With stiletto heels. |
|
Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: John Routledge Date: 11 Sep 03 - 07:58 PM Will be there Sunday definitely and probably Saturday as well. There should be a good turnout. Singers of the world unite :0) |

Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: Harry Basnett Date: 12 Sep 03 - 02:51 PM Musicians are welcome too, John..... |

Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: GUEST,Les in Chorlton, Manchester Date: 13 Sep 03 - 12:45 PM Guest, Guest, please explain? |

Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: GUEST,Les the thread jumper Date: 14 Sep 03 - 03:46 AM Sorry Noreen, I was unclear. I was merely refering to the fact that when I posted it put your thread to the top of the site which at that point had three Manchester threads in a row. Which for an international site must suggest something interesting is going on around here. I am most confused about what is and what is not enyoyed here. Things seem to range from the deeply personal and trivial to profound, passing through really interesting and useful (did you give me the words for Monday morning by Cyril Tawney?) to what looks like well organised advertising (see Punch the Horse). Although when I tried to poke a bit of gentle fun at Punch on a fresh thread the editor removed it and lobed it into the original Punch thread. Ah well, its all good fun but not as much as singing and playing tunes? And I haven't even mentioned .............. |

Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: Bernard Date: 14 Sep 03 - 07:44 PM Good news, campers! Having broached the subject with the licensee, we now can confirm that anyone with a camper van or caravan will be okay parking overnight on the land opposite the Railway and Linnet for the duration of the Extravaganza. It seems the pub used to have a sizeable car park, which the Council requisitioned and, in exchange, agreed to allow the pub the right to use the land opposite - which is often used by drivers of heavy goods vehicles for overnight parking, too. So don't forget your Yorkie bars!! |

Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: Noreen Date: 01 Oct 03 - 07:52 AM Followed a week later by Swinton Folk Festival(neither of which, my diary tells me, I can get to :0/ ) |
|
Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: Harry Basnett Date: 01 Oct 03 - 03:20 PM Thanks for reviving the thread, Noreen....but why the Swinton plug on this thread (not that I mind Dave getting a plug) and why the diary mention - - you've already said you'll be in America? Am I totally missing something here? Cheers.......Harry. :0) |

Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: Harry Basnett Date: 01 Oct 03 - 03:27 PM Ah.....all is revealed!! :0) |

Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: Noreen Date: 01 Oct 03 - 06:46 PM You have to take the wider view, Harry :0) |

Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: George Papavgeris Date: 01 Oct 03 - 06:56 PM In my case you have to take the XXXL view Itching to be there... |

Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: My guru always said Date: 02 Oct 03 - 09:21 AM Really hoping to get along & meet everyone again - Extravaganza 4 was BRILL & worked really well. Am sure we'll all have a grand time!! Not sure about bringing caravan (long haul)- may try B&B - any recommendations?? Hil |
|
Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: Bernard Date: 02 Oct 03 - 11:11 AM Hilary!! Where did you disappear to? The e-mail address I have is no longer current (the lengths people will go to trying to avoid me!!)... Glad you're coming, anyway - I believe there is a good B&B nearby, but Harry will be able to tell you more about it. |
|
Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: Harry Basnett Date: 02 Oct 03 - 02:14 PM Hi, Hil... Hopefully there may still be room at the Radclyffe Arms which is where George and Trish are staying...just around the corner from the Linnet. We'll dig out a couple of 'phone numbers for B&B later.. Love........Harry and Sara. |

Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: GUEST,Matthew Edwards Date: 12 Oct 03 - 04:27 AM Only a week to go, and I've booked my accommodation for Saturday night. Have been listening to Chris Foster's CD Traces, so I'm looking forward to hearing him in person. But I've also had the pleasure of listening to a CD put together by Harry Basnett of his own songs which is something special again, and I hope Harry will be singing some of these over the weekend. Hi! Yvonne, nice to see you here as a real name catter. What happened to 'Diz'? I can't get to the OD tonight unfortunately but have a good 'warm up' anyway. |
|
Subject: RE: Manchester: Extravaganza 5 From: Yvonne Date: 12 Oct 03 - 06:52 AM Hi, Matthew I decided to 'come out' :o) I too have Harry's CD and it is superb.Wonderful that a singer/song writer has written and arranged his songs in a 'traditional style'. Bernard's expertise in recording and adding accompaniment to the songs is to be very much admired as well. Want to hear lots of those songs over the weekend, Harry. I have listened to Chris Foster's CD as well Matthew and am looking forward to hearing him. See you all there as I will not be along tonight afterall :o( |
