Subject: 'Beverley Folk Festival' Fringe From: ossonflags Date: 04 Jun 07 - 05:01 AM 15th to 17th June inclusive. Thought I would start this of to provide info for those intrested in the doins, news and events of the Bev.Fest Fringe. Myself and Sir Rog will be co-hosting singarounds at the "Monks Walk" both Saturday and Sunday of the festival. Saturday from 13.30 hrs to whenever Sunday from 13.30. hrs to whenever I have been informed by Lorraine (landperson of the "Monks") that as last year a marquee will be set up in the bear garden. We will have the option if weather and minster bells permit of using the inside of the pub. So if you sing,twang, strum, pick, blow, fiddle, whistle, drum, dance,monologue or just come and join in and or listen you will sure of a warm welcome at the "Monks" |

Subject: RE: 'Beverley Folk Festival' Fringe From: Folkiedave Date: 04 Jun 07 - 05:31 AM A marquee in the bear garden? The mind boggles.......... |

Subject: RE: 'Beverley Folk Festival' Fringe From: Hand-Pulled Boy Date: 04 Jun 07 - 06:10 AM Last year there was a good sunday afternoon session at the Forresters designed for singer /songwriters. I hope it's available again this year. |

Subject: RE: 'Beverley Folk Festival' Fringe From: Linda Kelly Date: 04 Jun 07 - 06:45 AM I think people will need a bike |
|
Subject: RE: 'Beverley Folk Festival' Fringe From: Carol Date: 04 Jun 07 - 08:42 AM Or an electric scooter! |
|
Subject: RE: 'Beverley Folk Festival' Fringe From: Les from Hull Date: 04 Jun 07 - 10:16 AM Ive just spoken to Mervyn and he thinks it's the Sunday afternoon as well - similar format to last year's. He'll be back here to confirm. Maggie and I will be hosting our usual meet 'n' greet session in Hodgson's on the Friday evening. Hodgson's is the pub adjacent to the campsite. We welcome all sorts of folky stuff, but I imagine that people who want a sing will go there and people who want a tune will go to the Tiger. That's what usually happens. Les |

Subject: RE: 'Beverley Folk Festival' Fringe From: John J Date: 04 Jun 07 - 11:34 AM I've just had a call from the festival (director?) telling me that it is no longer possible to buy camping only tickets for the festival. We phoned last Thursday just to check we could buy camping only tickets - we could - but between the phone call and them receiving the cheque they changed their minds. It seems it isn't viable for the festival to allow camping only. A shame. In order to get round this you need to buy an event ticket, then you can buy camping tickets for £20 per person. I'm dissappointed (and more than a little miffed - having been told it was OK), but the festival has to remain financially viable if it is to continue. John |

Subject: RE: 'Beverley Folk Festival' Fringe From: Willa Date: 04 Jun 07 - 02:05 PM John j not an expert on nearby camp sites myself, but no doubt someone will be along soon with details; i know there are several nearby. Try a PM to Oombanjo, btw |
|
Subject: RE: 'Beverley Folk Festival' Fringe From: GUEST Date: 05 Jun 07 - 03:24 AM Thanks Willa, We have now booked a concert and camping. Still miffed at having the festival organisers going back on their word though. We'll probably look elsewhere next year - on principle. John
Thanks. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: 'Beverley Folk Festival' Fringe From: ossonflags Date: 05 Jun 07 - 07:08 AM Are you gonna be there then "Folkie dave"? it must be over thirty years since I saw you last. |
|
Subject: RE: 'Beverley Folk Festival' Fringe From: oombanjo Date: 05 Jun 07 - 02:07 PM Yes john J so am I, they have certainly kept this under wraps. If you are reading this Chris or Martin I would like an answer, as I have just this week, on the 4th/6/07 released another area of the field that will take 30 /40 vans an nothing was said. ????? Oombanjo |

Subject: RE: 'Beverley Folk Festival' Fringe From: John J Date: 06 Jun 07 - 03:19 AM Irritating isn't it? I shall be having a friendly word with the organisers when I get there. They're (legally) on a VERY sticky wicket with their decision: Thursday when we phoned them they said I could buy camping only tickets, so I ordered them. On Monday they phoned me back and say they've just changed their minds, I can't 'camp only'. I would have absolutely no objection if they said at the outset that that was going to be the case, but to do it like that is a bit off. Not everyone can afford full festival tickets. Cheers, John |
|
Subject: RE: 'Beverley Folk Festival' Fringe From: Sir Roger de Beverley Date: 06 Jun 07 - 04:02 AM No doubt Oombanjo will confirm or otherwise but I thought that East Riding Council had obliged the organisers to keep on the camping only option following the People's voice festival initiative. R |
|
Subject: RE: 'Beverley Folk Festival' Fringe From: nutty Date: 06 Jun 07 - 04:06 AM The other annoying point is that, having made John buy an event ticket in order to be able to camp, - the organisers are under no obligation to ensure that he is able to get a seat at the said event. |
|
Subject: RE: 'Beverley Folk Festival' Fringe From: GUEST,Steve Date: 06 Jun 07 - 04:19 AM Chris is only answerable to herself it is not the peoples voice it is the Chris voice!! which is a great loss for the festival as a whole and a shame for the people. She doesn't like the fringe which is also a shame because it is an integral part of the event. |

Subject: RE: 'Beverley Folk Festival' Fringe From: Graham and Jo Date: 06 Jun 07 - 06:05 AM There is some B and B and self catering accommodation in Beverley. There's a campsite at Lakeminster park which is about 20 minutes walk to the forresters and about half hour to Beverley Minster. They also have a couple of self catering chalets but they are a bit pricey because the price includes fishing. It's very pretty there by the fishing lakes but there is that walk into town - unless you took a taxi or drove and parked where the army museum used to be. |

Subject: RE: 'Beverley Folk Festival' Fringe From: oombanjo Date: 06 Jun 07 - 11:49 AM The problem is that having spoken to the festival proper. I was given the go ahead to pass the information on as John j. can verify and inform those that want to camp that tickets would be available AFTER the 1st of June but only if there were any spaces not sold and available. AS I said in my earlier thread, I only released another part of the field, this would hold 30/40 vans, upwards of that if it was tents, so spaces were and are available,???? Also in the festival literature it say that camping will be available " the restrictions were those that I muted earlier". I am far from happy with the shoddy way that I have been used and I will no doubt be having a few words with the organisers and so should all others that feel the same way. Ps. I posted an earlier thread on the Fringe. I wrote, "It is to be my last year of running the fringe. Roy Wild has offered to step into the lions den please give him all the support and encouragement that you have given me over the years". Chee3rs Oombanjo |

Subject: RE: 'Beverley Folk Festival' Fringe From: nutty Date: 07 Jun 07 - 07:45 AM I'd love to be with you all (I love Beverley) but I have to stay at home for the Jean Lee Memorial Day. That will be a super sing as well but I will be thinking of you. |

Subject: RE: 'Beverley Folk Festival' Fringe From: Wildboy Date: 07 Jun 07 - 01:52 PM Additional fringe events - Sunday am there should be an old time gospel session on the Syntan on Beverley beck. Foresters songwriter's session is Sun afternoon from around 2pm (a popular event last year so get there early). The Sun welcomes singers and musicians throughout the weekend though no formal sessions are scheduled. To limber up for the serious sessions of the day join me in the marquee on the campsite from 11.30am - 1.30pm Sat & Sun for a lunchtime session. |

I will have them all printed out on to flyers to hand around the camp site.cheers Ombanjo |
