Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: Drumshanty Date: 30 Apr 07 - 11:32 AM Just a bit of a voice and a pair of ears - hope that's OK? |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: Jim Lad Date: 30 Apr 07 - 11:48 AM If Brenda comes along, she'll have her fiddle too. I heard her tell the neighbours, we're probably going. Starting to look good for me. |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: Jack Campin Date: 01 May 07 - 12:26 PM After a quick overview with Google Earth, I realize there are a *lot* of tunes associated with that area - mainly by G.S. MacLennan: Mrs Macpherson of Inveran, The Falls of Shin, Inveran. A bit further afield and by other people, Dornoch Links, The Balintore Fishermen, a tune relating to Portmahomack. Any ballads? |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: Tattie Bogle Date: 04 May 07 - 01:48 PM Not sure, Jack, will ask around. My list includes voice, guitar, bodhran, assorted percussion (even another washboard, but prob won't bring that!) and B/C button accordion. Nice to meet you at Glenfarg, Giok. Still hoping to make it to Sidmouth this year too. TB |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 05 May 07 - 01:33 AM Well if there's going to be a washboard, I'M going to bring my SPOOOONS!! LTS |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: Jim Lad Date: 05 May 07 - 01:51 AM One spoon! |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 05 May 07 - 02:13 AM Spoons are great instruments. Not only can you play them rhythmically to provide counterpoint and accompaniament, but they're useful if someone drops your change into your beer, or if anyone brings cake or soup. You just need to remember to lick 'em clean after. Try eating soup with a melodeon! LTS |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: Drumshanty Date: 05 May 07 - 06:08 AM TattieB, how are you going to get me in the car? Remember my girth :o) (It's a good job I can't actually play any of the 20-odd instruments I've got in the flat...) TBtoo |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: Briagha Date: 05 May 07 - 09:01 AM Sounds like great fun, but 20th Oct is the same weekend as the National Mod in Ft. William, and that's where I'll have to be. Have a blast... Briagha |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: Tattie Bogle Date: 07 May 07 - 08:38 AM It can (will)be done, Drumshanty - somehow! I can get everything in the boot, in fact chose my current car according to the orchestral carriage requirements! Be glad I don't play double bass! Great spoon playing by Francie Bainbridge last night in the Wee Folk Club (and of course, melodeon by Jim) TB |

Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: Jim Lad Date: 24 Jun 07 - 11:54 PM The inverted commas were the problem, I think. |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: Murray MacLeod Date: 25 Jun 07 - 04:15 PM I am also booked in from Friday to Monday morning. If all goes well I will be accompanied by a rather fine singer (or rather she will be accompanied by me ) If all doesn't go well I will be there on my own :-( |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: Megan L Date: 25 Jun 07 - 04:32 PM Dauvitt and I are booked. |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: weerover Date: 26 Jun 07 - 12:57 PM Sounds liks a fun weekend - any rooms in the hotel still available? wr |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: John MacKenzie Date: 26 Jun 07 - 01:07 PM Give Graham a ring, he will sort you out something no doubt Giok |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: weerover Date: 26 Jun 07 - 01:48 PM I really fancy this now. I won't be able to bring much to the party in a musical sense, though I've been known to sing at the drop of a hat (which I carry with me just in case). Will check if my wife's up for it and give yer amn at the hotel a ring tomorrow. wr. |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: John MacKenzie Date: 26 Jun 07 - 01:52 PM Go for it, you know it makes sense Giok |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: weerover Date: 26 Jun 07 - 04:00 PM ...and of course that should have read "yer man" last but one post wr. |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: lady penelope Date: 26 Jun 07 - 05:24 PM Damn! How did I miss this?????? Ye gods I'd love to come! Is there still room? Are there still flights???? AAAArggh! Pannnic!!!! Right, first I need to go ask me Mum where exactly my cousin lives (he's supposed to be in Bonar Bridge) 'cos if they find out I'm up there and don't go say hi I'm dead meat. Secondly I'll have to pummel my beloved Parker into whether or not he's coming as well. (I suspect not, but you have to ask...) Cripes! Any info on accommodation etc people have I'd be most grateful for.... now, do excuse me.... AAAaaaaaaaaarrrrrgggggghhhhhh....Pppaaaaaaaanniiiiiiiicccc!!!!!! |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: Megan L Date: 26 Jun 07 - 05:46 PM Don't worry Lady P I'm sure accommodation will be forthcomming as for your beloved:) try blackmail bribery or tickle torture. hope to see you there |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: John MacKenzie Date: 26 Jun 07 - 05:47 PM Penny, sort out your flights, talk to LtS, and ring Graham at the hotel, link is somewhere earlier, oh hang on! There ya go. He will find you space panic not. Bonar Bridge is about 4 miles away at most from the venue. Giok |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 26 Jun 07 - 06:07 PM Tell him there'll be lots of opportunities to photograph bits of Scottish mud and he might be persuaded! Manitas has our flight details if you want to try for that one - it's Friday, I know that much! LTS |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: weerover Date: 27 Jun 07 - 03:50 PM Anyone else thinking about had better move now: I 'phoned the hotel today and was told they'd find us something, so sounds pretty full up. wr. |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: lady penelope Date: 27 Jun 07 - 04:08 PM Right. Husband not coming.... there's only so far he'll go to stand around not listening to folk (bless him). So it's just me for the Friday/Saturday/Sunday nights. Liz, I've just emailed you about your flight details, but I've just remembered I've used my (relatively) new email address and not signed it. If you see something from Creighton Manor, it's me! |
Subject: RE: Scottish Mudgather October 20th 2007 From: Megan L Date: 30 Jun 07 - 05:08 PM Is Emma B going to this gather? |
