Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk W/e 10-12 June (UK) From: alanww Date: 21 Apr 05 - 08:15 PM Hi Steve & Sal I would be very happy to play in the band (and so would Sandy) but I am not fast enough to read and play the dots of tunes I don't know, so it will need to be well-known tunes! "In a cavern ...!" Alan |

Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: My guru always said Date: 26 Apr 05 - 05:27 PM Oops, looks like that was me, I had the old one bookmarked & didn't hunt for the new one. Guess it's par for the course if there's two threads about the same event *shuffles off, smiling apologetically* |

Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: the lemonade lady Date: 26 Apr 05 - 05:37 PM Thanks Joe, Guru... behave! So who else is coming? Anyone want to do old time songs to entertain at our local nursing home. The Amazing Arthur Hyde has volunteered his services, he'd love some help. Just an hour would let them know we haven't forgotten them. sal |
|
Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: Snuffy Date: 26 Apr 05 - 07:23 PM How old time are the songs, Sal? 'You Are My Sunshine' or 'Lord Bateman'? I'd probably do better with the former sort, but you can put me down for an hour or so if you like. WassiL! V |

Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: alanww Date: 26 Apr 05 - 07:37 PM I'll also help with some songs at the nursing home if you like, Sally. "... was too large for the shelf!" Alan |

Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: the lemonade lady Date: 03 May 05 - 05:32 PM how refreshing to know there's a folk weekend that is the fringe without the main event! 2 breweries, no...oh yes... what are you waiting for? Book now! www.bcfolkweekend.co.uk perform at out folk club, play in the ceilidh band... come and see Sally and the Shot Dogs...you know you want to. Oh just come to Bishop's Castle... Schantieman, you tell 'em! MIMO Sal |

Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: the lemonade lady Date: 10 May 05 - 05:06 AM Funny Schantie's gone a bit quiet. SCHANTIEMAN wake up at the back there! Sal |
|
Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: Schantieman Date: 10 May 05 - 11:41 AM :-) Sorry. I thought I'd better do some work this week. |

Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: the lemonade lady Date: 16 May 05 - 06:20 AM Regarding our storytelling evening at Three Tuns on June 10th we have booked both Sally Tonge and Brian Carrington (Daylevel) who together perform a complement of story and song of local myths and legend. They will provide entertainment for all the family, encouraging audience participation. We've also got some local up and coming story telling bods to mesmerise you with stories of Shropshire and our surrounding area. We thought it would be more relaxing to take tired folkies and their kids to stories and poetry for the Friday evening after a hard day at school/work and driving/ tent erecting etc, rather that swirling about at a ceilidh. That's for the Saturday night. Sal |

Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: GUEST,MBSLynne Date: 16 May 05 - 06:23 AM Oh no!! May not be able to make it after all! ShadyLady has her dance exam that weekend! Aaaaaaaagh! Love Lynne |

Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: mandotim Date: 20 May 05 - 03:34 PM Only three weeks to go... are we excited yet? Is there a map of the town anywhere, showing venues etc? It's just that my sense of direction tends to be a bit unreliable at times of great stress (and drunkenness). See you all there I hope, Tim from Bit on the Side |
|
Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: RobbieWilson Date: 20 May 05 - 07:41 PM Tim, you dont need a map. Its all more or less in one street, well two adjoining streets really. Having said that once I get to the six bells ( at the bottom of the hill by the church) I have trouble going anywhere else. |

Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: webfolk Date: 25 May 05 - 01:33 AM Save me a space Tim, remember the WA field. All that space and no where to camp!!! Geoff from Bit on the Side |

Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: the lemonade lady Date: 25 May 05 - 06:39 AM Can all people who want to either drive a session or help with the entertainment hour at the old folks home please pm me. Thanks it would make life a bit quicker for me, rather than trawling thru all of these posts. Time's running out for me and I've a million things to do yet. sal |
|
Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: the lemonade lady Date: 26 May 05 - 04:56 PM Thanks to all who PM'd me anyone else? We'' have to have a meeting over a beer and decide what sort of songs to do and who'll do 'em! Could catch on me thinks. Sal |

We will now only be able to come for the day on Saturday due to ShadyLady's dance exam. When is the old folks' thing? And the scratch ceilidh? Love Lynne |
|

Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: Snuffy Date: 03 Jun 05 - 08:04 AM Sounds a bit "modern" to me. These sort of things seem to go down well: Bluebirds over the White Cliffs of Dover, Goodbye Dolly Gray, Tipperary, Bicycle Made for Two, Lili Marleen, When I'm Cleaning Windows, My Grandfather's Clock, Chattanooga Choo-choo, Sonny Boy, You Are My Sunshine, Show Me The Way To Go Home, If You Were The Only Girl In The World, A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square, There'll Always Be An England, etc etc |

Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: alanww Date: 03 Jun 05 - 10:35 AM Well, RobbieWilson & Snuffy! You have already covered lots of mine, ie Leaving of Liverpool, My Grandfather's Clock, Goodbye Dolly Gray & You Are My Sunshine. Does that just leave me with Jerusalem, My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean, Linden Lea, Over the Hills and Far Away, Drunken Sailor, Swing Low Sweet Chariot & Lincolnshire Poacher? Mumble, mumble! "When I was bound apprentice ...!" Alan |

Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: Zany Mouse Date: 05 Jun 05 - 03:57 PM Sal, I don't travel too well at the moment (crook again!) so Mick and I will probably go down just for the Saturday. What's the parking like? I have a disabled badge. Rhiannon |

Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: Zany Mouse Date: 05 Jun 05 - 03:59 PM Also, can we bring your Yorkshire Terrorist. He's well behaved - well, he loves people at any rate. It will be his first festival. Rhiannon |

Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: GUEST,Me Date: 05 Jun 05 - 04:23 PM So far I've found two good reasons not to go! |

Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: Zany Mouse Date: 05 Jun 05 - 05:35 PM Guest: Me Erm, as your posting followed mine - is this personal to Mick or myself? Perhaps you would have the courage to identify yourself! Rhiannon |
|
Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: Snuffy Date: 05 Jun 05 - 06:09 PM Alan, I was not laying claim to all or any of the songs I mentioned, just using them as examples of the sort of thing I have found goes down well. (And plenty of London songs- Don't Dilly Dally, Bull & Bush, Any Old Iron, etc) Less than a week now: the excitement is mounting |

Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: the lemonade lady Date: 22 Jun 05 - 04:35 AM It was a wonderful W/e. Best bits for me? Schantieman's and my half hour spot at the folk club, singing with Schantieman and Pete Grassby (in the interval) at the wonderful ceilidh where Steve gathered a great scratch band together and a brill evening was had by all. The Poppy House singarounds went really well. The vaults irish session didn't happen, but the Tuns session worked well. The 6 Bells sing went well (inside and out... Bit on the Side!) due to being expertly driven. We carried on till midnight on Sunday! The stewards did a wonderful job as did my campsite managers. No local people came so far as I know. Must be something I said! Oh and on Monday morning I had to go to hospital for an xray on my foot and it appears I have gout!!! Sal |

Subject: RE: Bishop's Castle Folk Weekend 10-12 June (UK) From: RobbieWilson Date: 22 Jun 05 - 12:14 PM Sal, I spent most of Saturday evening in the front bar of the Tunns singing with local people. |
