Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Emma B Date: 09 Jan 08 - 08:57 PM I'm sorry that no one thought to check with me before publishing my name here Andy, I had made my intentions known to my friends. I must send you the recipe for the Beef in Guinness I cooked for dinner last year, it's even better than chicken soup to aid recovery :) |

Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: MudGuard Date: 09 Jan 08 - 06:31 PM Uuups, got the information that EmmaB is not going as well. So the list is reduced to: |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: MudGuard Date: 09 Jan 08 - 06:23 PM And then there were 5.... Gulliver EmmaB Suzanne Gerry Phillipa Susanne removed, Philippa as well (see here), Gulliver seeing no point and Gerry not known, it looks like EmmaB meeting EmmaB ... I hope to be there next year though. |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Susanne (skw) Date: 09 Jan 08 - 06:15 PM I'm sorry to say I too have to pull out. I'll probably be on a course in Berlin at the time. Would have been nice ... |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Leadfingers Date: 09 Jan 08 - 03:34 PM Various things have combined to stop my involvement this year , though all things being equal I hope we can get things together for next year . |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Herge Date: 09 Jan 08 - 03:29 PM Hi should get up on the Sat for a tune or two with some of the others from Larne if its still going ahead. Herge |

|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: MudGuard Date: 09 Jan 08 - 08:35 AM Slushtiger/Whitepuppie, "other matters" probably refers to "boys" ;-) How is the Cadbury fiddle? |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Slushpuppie Date: 09 Jan 08 - 05:46 AM ''This year I'm sorry to say we won't be there whichever weekend it is. White Tiger's thoughts are now (inevitably) consumed by other matters, and I am more often in Bosnia and Croatia.'' *raises eyebrow*.... |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Gulliver Date: 07 Jan 08 - 02:37 PM I haven't seen Gerry for a while, so don't know whether he can come. If the group is going to be so small, there is hardly any point, is there? If someone would like to come to Ireland this year, there's a few sessions on here in Dublin every weekend and I don't mind showing folks around. Don |

Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Jan 08 - 02:22 PM And then there were 5.... Gulliver EmmaB Suzanne Gerry Phillipa LTS |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: MudGuard Date: 07 Jan 08 - 01:32 PM >> Terry said he wouldn't be there either, as he has an insurmountable transport problem. Did he loose his driving license due to his reckless driving? ;-) |
|

Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Catherine Jayne Date: 07 Jan 08 - 10:13 AM We won't be able to make it either this year but I have fond memories of Portaferry, and the music and madness! |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: John MacKenzie Date: 07 Jan 08 - 09:52 AM Terry said he wouldn't be there either, as he has an insurmountable transport problem. G. |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Maryrrf Date: 07 Jan 08 - 09:18 AM Sorry, but I won't be going either. |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Jan 08 - 08:27 AM So... a quick count up reveals Gulliver EmmaB Maryrrf Suzanne Gerry Leadfingers and Phillipa.... will be there. It's going to be a small gathering this year methinks. LTS |
|

Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 01 Jan 08 - 08:49 PM Thanks Giok! My view last year was largely informed by self-interest, because we would have been able to attend OK if the gathering had been on the "traditional" weekend. There is another point, that the traditional weekend coincides with a monthly session at the Fiddlers for locial Irish traditional musicians. I always hoped that some sense of joint enterprise would develop between the locals and the invaders, but it never seemed to work out. (Herge and Jim would be the ideal catalysts for that chemistry to happen, but they usually head back to the deep north before the Sunday session gets going.) This year I'm sorry to say we won't be there whichever weekend it is. White Tiger's thoughts are now (inevitably) consumed by other matters, and I am more often in Bosnia and Croatia. Are Greg and Eric still Mudcatting and potential attendees? I hope enough turn up to keep Loughstock alive and kicking, as I'd like to think we'll be back in a year or two. Enjoy! |

Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: GUEST,LTS pretending to work Date: 27 Dec 07 - 08:19 AM Not so much a flock... more like a small bird table's worth at the moment. Health and other problems are preventing an awful lot of people from attending next year. LTS |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: GUEST,Philippa Date: 27 Dec 07 - 08:09 AM so is the flock definitely coming to Strangford Lough FEBRUARY 1, 2 AND 3? What does Fibula Mattock say? (if she wrote the constitution she can also change it) |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: MudGuard Date: 23 Dec 07 - 06:01 PM >> Andy, you will never lie 'short' in bed :) Depends on the surgeon - if he confuses me with some other patient who should get both legs removed ... ;-) |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Emma B Date: 23 Dec 07 - 04:22 PM Andy, you will never lie 'short' in bed :) Seasons greetings and good luck with the operation. |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: John MacKenzie Date: 23 Dec 07 - 04:16 PM Shame Andy, we shall miss you. Happy Christmas and a good new year to you too. Giok |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: MudGuard Date: 23 Dec 07 - 04:11 PM Now it's official, my surgery (hernia inguinalis) will take place in the last week of January, so I definitely can't make it in 2008. Even though the stay at the hospital afterwards will be much shorter than they told me before, I am supposed to stay in bed mostly for one to two weeks afterwards, and the doctors forbid me to go flying so soon after the operation. I wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year! Enjoy Loughstock Sixpack 2008 (which might be much easier than the last few years as I won't bother you ... ;-) Andy/MudGuard |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Emma B Date: 16 Oct 07 - 10:32 PM Thinking about coming over again, would love to meet up with you and Gerry next year. |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Gulliver Date: 16 Oct 07 - 07:55 PM Am definitely planning to go, and I'm sure Gerry will come as well, and maybe one or two others from our neck of the woods. Don |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: skarpi Date: 16 Oct 07 - 06:37 PM I have to post this one Terry |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Leadfingers Date: 16 Oct 07 - 07:08 AM So apart from Mary , Skarpi , Suzanne , and Meself , whos is definately coming ? |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: skarpi Date: 13 Oct 07 - 10:45 AM I agree with that , Andy all the best my friend . All the best Skarpi Æsland |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Maryrrf Date: 13 Oct 07 - 09:36 AM Yes Andy, it won't be the same without you. I hope all goes well with your surgery, and that you'll be at Loughstock the 7th! |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: skarpi Date: 13 Oct 07 - 09:35 AM yah me too or three |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Leadfingers Date: 13 Oct 07 - 09:23 AM You will be missed Andy ! And I hope the 'repair' all goes to plan |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: MudGuard Date: 13 Oct 07 - 08:56 AM It is Loughstock Sixpack. And it will be the second one without me. I need to get repaired, and the surgery is scheduled for the week from 21th and 25th January, with a week to ten days at the hospital after the op (and some "stay in bed" time after that). |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Leadfingers Date: 13 Oct 07 - 08:19 AM February 2008 will be the Sixth Loughstock |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: skarpi Date: 13 Oct 07 - 06:46 AM what is the number of the next gathering in Portaferry ? Terry do you remember ? All the best Skarpi |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Brendy Date: 12 Oct 07 - 10:46 AM There was a bloke from Co. Waterford, Ireland that had The Dubliner when it opened. ... we'll talk soon. ;-) B. |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: skarpi Date: 12 Oct 07 - 02:26 AM Is that Jói ? or the Irish Fella ? I know Joi Brendy he has another place now called the Highlander . We also have the Cletic Cross . All the best Skarpi Iceland |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Brendy Date: 12 Oct 07 - 01:25 AM There was talk of a trip to Torshavn in Faerøyene sometime in the Spring, and something Icelandic could be fitted in around there, I'd say... Playing in Iceland has been on my wish list for a good few years, now. An old friend of mine used to own The Dubliner in Reykjavik years back, and although having said I would play there often enough, he sold the place before I could take him up on his offer. We'll keep in touch skarpi, for sure.... B. |
