Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Noreen Date: 12 Jul 07 - 04:07 PM Me and Stew and extended families and friends- our party gets larger every year (in number I mean, before the rude comments!) It's nice that the kiddies enjoy Warwick so much that they want to introduce their non-folkie friends to the experience :0) Looking forward to meeting up with lots of nice people again, including all the above xx |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Folkiedave Date: 12 Jul 07 - 04:43 PM We had a great brandy and chocolate session last year. So good a certain fiddle player took two days to recover and her mother-in-law came to the stall to complain. There is a certain affinity with Warwick and drink and me. a year or two earlier - we managed to get a Monkseaton Morris man smashed out of his skull on a combination of polish vodka, raspberry juice and chili sauce - a drink Sheffield City Morris had picked up on a trip to Poland and was apparently called a "Mad Dog". I'll see what else exotic I can bring......... |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Rasener Date: 12 Jul 07 - 04:47 PM Linda Malc & Teresa Sellars are going. Look out for them. Les |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: GUEST,Col K Date: 12 Jul 07 - 06:42 PM I'll be there as well, behind the stewards desk for part of the time and elsewhere for the rest. Col |

|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Mr Red Date: 13 Jul 07 - 03:26 AM I may be very lonely on Fri so if your steward's radio doesn't work tell me they are not working - over the radio of course! Helping-out with the radio stuff is relatively slow with sporadic panics. All being well I will be arriving early Fri from Bretforton - Fleece Thurs session was a bit slow starting last year probably everyone preparing for the w/e. That's the plan anyway. |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: fiddler Date: 13 Jul 07 - 03:48 AM Sorry guys, missing you, the giging thing - earning a crust by playing at a party in London somewhere! would come if I could - It is a great festival - if you would all overdoo it - a little - to compensate for me not being there at all, I'll donate my fun to you guys! Andy |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Saro Date: 13 Jul 07 - 04:08 AM CMR will be there from Saturday morning - looking forward to it, especially as the weather forecasters predict an improvement "at the end of the month"! We've got a harmony workshop on Sunday at teatime if you feel like coming to sing with us... Saro |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: GUEST Date: 13 Jul 07 - 04:13 AM Look after that certain fiddle player Dave 'cos her mother-in-law will be in France this year and will miss all the fun |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Mrs.Duck Date: 13 Jul 07 - 02:05 PM We'll be there having our first experience as stewards. I think I get to play with children as I have the necessary paper work so you can trust me tee hee! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Les from Hull Date: 13 Jul 07 - 02:32 PM Maggie and I will also be there as part of the All-Star Stewarding Team, and getting in a bit of singing and playing in between. Can I put in a request for NO RAIN please! We got rained on last year (we were looking after the main marquee during the big downpour and on the main gate on a rainy Sunday) and as citizens of the most flood-damaged City in Britain - and it's been siling down all day today - enough is enough! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Linda Kelly Date: 13 Jul 07 - 04:09 PM I second that Les -I presume you are with us for the journey down/back up-we are relying on your varied organic 'snacks of the world' to keep us going. If it rains anymore here I am going to start building that bloody ark! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Geoff the Duck Date: 13 Jul 07 - 05:59 PM I think that Richard Bridge might have some gopher wood left over from his Rainy Tuesday thread of a couple of weeks back. Quack GtD. |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: r.padgett Date: 14 Jul 07 - 03:16 AM I will be there with Jim McD if he survives Stainsby FF and I remember the words at Saddleworth FF!! It was a bit wet last year and I have vivid memories of sitting in Moor and Coast tent with Glen holding the rain off the back of his food tent as the lighting came and the rain flooded the food tent (again) Time for some good weather this year, please Ray |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: GUEST,MC Fat Date: 14 Jul 07 - 07:51 AM As padge says i'll be there however won't be at Stainsby as they've just ( as of yesterday 13th July) informed me that I'm not compering which i am extremely miffed about. May try and make Saddleworth though perhaps for just a day |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: r.padgett Date: 14 Jul 07 - 11:49 AM Yes Jim see other thread Ray |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: GUEST,Moses Date: 14 Jul 07 - 02:45 PM This will be the first Warwick I will have missed since I started going in the early 90s:-( Warwick's my favourite festival but Dulverton beckons as they've given us (Moses and the Ref) a concert spot:-) Hope you all have a great time and the rain keeps off us all. Christine |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Linda Kelly Date: 14 Jul 07 - 03:24 PM We will miss you Christine! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Peter K Date: 15 Jul 07 - 04:12 AM As usual I will be there. |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Dave Earl Date: 15 Jul 07 - 01:00 PM If there is one place I will be it will be in the beer tent at teatime after I've finished my stewarding for the day. if that fits in with the rest of your festival I'll perhaps see you there. Dave |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Folkiedave Date: 15 Jul 07 - 03:37 PM I wonder if we have a jaundiced view of the weather last year? That was as bad a thunderstorm as I have ever known - and if you want to know how bad it was talk to Graham Bradshaw who saw lightning flashing across his lighting rig during a performance and felt obliged to pull the plug!! And let's remember someone got killed on the bridge too. But as I remember - the rest of the festival was good weather, and thanks to the very dry nature of the ground it was soaked up very quickly - and things seemed to get dry fairly soon. I'll take a book so if you come to the bookstall *collectorsfolk" please feel free to let me know and I will post the names after we get back. I hope to be opposite the beer tent!! Dave |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Rasener Date: 15 Jul 07 - 03:38 PM FolkieDave, seems like you have managed being near the beer tent again LOL :-) |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Folkiedave Date: 15 Jul 07 - 03:49 PM I know Les and it is only where the organisers put me!! Angi who does Warwick craft tents, emailed me to ask if I wanted to be there!! Is the Pope a Catholic!! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Rasener Date: 15 Jul 07 - 03:51 PM Does that cost a fiver then :-) |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Linda Kelly Date: 15 Jul 07 - 05:17 PM that poor lad who died was camping in the next tent to us-its a sobering thought-but there is a high weather front on its way-should reach us by 2009 I reckon . |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Pistachio Date: 15 Jul 07 - 05:49 PM Can't wait. Cross fingers that the Battle Bus completes the month without any grief. Moses, have a great gig, we'll miss you. Saro, looking forward to seeing/hearing you again. Villan, thanks for info. We'll look out for Malc and Teresa. MC Fat, see you at Saddleworth and Warwick! My husband checked the diary and announced, as though it was news to him, that I'll have attended 3 festivals in one month!(Repeated great escapes). He will be in Warwick briefly (Sat)as we've been invited to a BBQ in Reading and he'll come and collect me so.... please look after Linda until I get back! Looking forward to what is my favourite festival. Must check a diary - I believe this'll be my 5th Warwick. H. x. |

|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Rasener Date: 17 Jul 07 - 08:26 AM He might get a skin rash if it is wool. That looks like sunburn doesn't it? |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: r.padgett Date: 17 Jul 07 - 02:36 PM I think Mitch (Worksop) does a song which has something about a "funny little sun burn spot" |

|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: RogerTCB Date: 17 Jul 07 - 05:43 PM Does anyone know which / where the open song & music sessions are at WFF? I'm thinking of the parallels to Sidmouth's Radway & Anchor Middle Bar. |

|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: r.padgett Date: 18 Jul 07 - 12:25 PM I do think there is a programme online for WFF setting everything out now Obviously pub management changes a good bit now so things do change, had a good session of singing in The Bowling Green last year, and found Malcolm Speake and Chris Lowe, and Mal Gurnham and Alhambra involved too in different pubs on the festival bus route in town I think Jim McDonald doing a session somewhere this year again Ray |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Folkiedave Date: 18 Jul 07 - 12:33 PM SOTR sold within seconds at Shepley. Offering a free photograph of you in your string vest aided sales. |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: kab Date: 18 Jul 07 - 01:31 PM I believe the open mic events are scheduled for "The Punch Bowl" Please pray or prance for sunshine. |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Mrs.Duck Date: 22 Jul 07 - 05:25 PM So whats the latest on Warwick? The news shows that a lot of the area is affected by floods. |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Noreen Date: 23 Jul 07 - 05:00 AM Indeed it is and still raining. Forecast for Warwick this week is light showers every day except Wednesday when there will be... light rain. But Friday will have sunny intervals! :0) warwick folk festival news says: >23-Jul-2007 - WEATHER WATCH ... The campsite is well drained and we are prepared with an emergency roadway to protect the entrance of the campsite. Although there has been some national TV coverage of flooding in Warwickshire, the school has not been affected. |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Geoff the Duck Date: 23 Jul 07 - 05:24 AM I've just been looking at the interweb for any information about weather conditionsa and the state of rivers. The latest bunch of floods this last weekend have been further South and West of Warwick. Warwick Folk festival's own site has got a page for late news, including weather conditions. The say that so far there is not a problem with the festival site. http://warwickfolkfestival.co.uk/news.shtml. Their weather report is dated today. The Environment Agency has a Flood Warning page for the Midlands. At time of this posting the River Avon between Rugby (Quite a long way upstream from Warwick) and Salford Priors (Downstream from Stratford-On-Avon) is on flood watch. Of course that doesn't mean that there will be a problem at Warwick even if there are some flooded locations on the Avon. Of course, it isn't necessarily local weather conditions which cause the problems. A number of people including performers didn't get to Saddleworth Festival because they were stuck in the floods a hundred miles south of Saddleworth. The County Council has a list of road closures some of these are water related. http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/corporate/newsstor.nsf/publicbycategories/355CA38797FB3B358025731F003E60A1?opendocument.They also have a flood information for the County |

|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Dave Earl Date: 23 Jul 07 - 06:30 AM So the festival site looks OK at the moment and my route to it looks clear too. See you there on Friday afternoon. Dave |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: skipy Date: 23 Jul 07 - 06:47 AM I'm packing short dresses, don't want to "drag" my good long dresses through the mud. Skipy |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Peter K Date: 23 Jul 07 - 03:46 PM According to the festival blog, all is well and the festival is going head as normal. I have just had a chat with the rest of the campsite setup crew, we will all be going at are normal times. The only difficulty I can see is that the rail station appears to be closed. I am planning to catch a bus (the X17) from coventry instead. |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: GUEST,MC Fat Date: 24 Jul 07 - 03:59 AM Think I better pack some short dresses !!! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Folkiedave Date: 24 Jul 07 - 04:18 AM I hadn't realised there was a thread to the floods and congratulations to the organisers for getting the news on their web page and keeping people informed. Certainly I remember after that amazing storm last year the site drained very quickly - so unless there is another really big change in the weather conditions I am sure we well all have a great time. Remember to come to my stall (Collectorsfolk) and sign the mudcat book. (Blatant advert). Dave |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: GUEST,Col K Date: 24 Jul 07 - 06:01 PM All systems go for a great weekend of music. The campsite is fine, water supplies in Warwick have not been disrupted. Please do not arrive until friday as instructed on your tickets. Contractors,set up teams and the like are there now and there are contingency plans set up as well. The stewards who always do a great job may have a slightly harder time this year because of the problems, so please bear with them, they have job to do to ensure that the damage to the field is kept to a minimum for everyones benefit. Thank you all in anticipation for your co-operation this year. See you all there, Col |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Lenny's mum (inactive) Date: 24 Jul 07 - 06:33 PM Looking forward to it. Please keep us a space for the caravan and tent as it will probably be late on Friday evening before we can arrive. |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Noreen Date: 26 Jul 07 - 02:27 PM I have a new pair of wellies in honour of the occasion! |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: My guru always said Date: 26 Jul 07 - 06:10 PM Not sure if wellies will be enough Noreen :-( I'll be checking the Festival website in the morning before we set off as I understand there will be decisions made first thing in the morning regarding the water-logged site. I would recommend anyone going should also check before setting off, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed! |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Mrs.Duck Date: 27 Jul 07 - 09:09 AM Traders and food etc have set up on hardstanding behind Guy Nelson Hall. Field is still very wet but weather is holding. At present only tents and caravans towed by 4x4s are allowed onto the field but there is a small amount of hard standing although very limited. The puddles in the middle of the field are reducing but organisers are concerned that if ordinary cars get on they may not get off!! Luckily the beer tent has not dried up!! Signing off now so see you all soon. Jane |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: r.padgett Date: 30 Jul 07 - 10:03 AM Went! a good festival spirit and great guests That Spookey Men's Chorale had me in stitches, what a sense of humour! Good to see everyone again and The Roebuck had some great music and song The weather on Sunday was much better than expected and the ground sense and stewarding was exceptional avoiding many potential "tow offs" this is great for festival such as Warwick which is so open to weather problems Thanks to all Ray |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Saro Date: 30 Jul 07 - 11:03 AM Yes, thanks from CMR as well - what a lovely weekend, and what wonderful singers at the harmony workshop! if any of you are reading this, well done, you were fantastic. Colin and stewards obviously did a great job, and who ever sorted out the weather, can you do the same for Whitby please! saro |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Ruth Archer Date: 30 Jul 07 - 11:06 AM The stewards and management are to be congratulated for turning out another fantastic festival in pretty challenging circumstances! Thanks all, and well done. |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Folkiedave Date: 30 Jul 07 - 11:42 AM Can I just add (as a trader) my personal thanks - and I will be writing to the school - for the help of the ground staff of the school? It must have hurt them considerably to see the ground being churned up by vehicles. All they ever did was do their best to help. "We want to see it go ahead" said one of them. The reason for this was because apparently we are less trouble than the 4,000 Baptists they are expecting next. Thanks to those who came to visit the stall, browsed, chatted, bought books, made coffee for me, brought ginger beer, strawberries and even those who practised their melodeon. Let me re-phrase that - especially those who practised their melodeon. thread.cfm?threadid=103680&messages=22#2114774 |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: r.padgett Date: 30 Jul 07 - 01:33 PM The most abiding memory for me was in the late night Arts Centre ran by Brian Rogers again when Damian Barber accompanied himself on English concertina and sang The Foggy Dew ~ very well, now there was a sprightly elderly chap sitting quite near to him and the sheer joy and emotion was truly evident and I was moved by his reaction he later chatted to Damian Later this chap accompanied himself on Anglo and sang "The Road to Dundee", a very lovely moment again!

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: My guru always said Date: 30 Jul 07 - 04:39 PM My thanks too, to Dick, the Stewards and all who kept Warwick going this year! Having heard about the 'lakes' & 'no vehicles' on the Thursday evening I was prepared for the worst, but Warwick brought it all together & looked after us all!! Loved Brian's late night sings as always, what wonderful acoustics in there! So glad that he opened up early & stayed late to keep us all happy. Think Breton Cap may have assisted, if so more thanks to you Dave! Wonderful to hear Hissyfit again (note to self: must try to get further North) and to meet so many smiling Catters & yes, I signed FolkieDave's Guestbook but it looked like lots of Catters names were missing from the signing book *naughty, naughty* And as for the Spooky Men, well, they were absolutely Fab!! Looking forward to next year's Warwick already...... |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: skipy Date: 30 Jul 07 - 04:48 PM Well done to Dick & his team, cracking Warwick as always. Question:- Just how many Col Ks are there? everywhere you went you would see one of them Day & night! If there are only 5, they must be dead on their feet! Skipy |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Pistachio Date: 30 Jul 07 - 04:57 PM Safe home with the Beverley Contingent! Great to see and hear so many 'catters. Loved the songs Mrs Lemon and My Guru sang on Friday night and enjoyed the 'ladies' set on Sunday morning. I submitted a comment on the lack of singaround venues ... and I heard that, by popular request, the 'late sing' started rather early on Saturday evening! (Just sorry I had to be elsewhere Sat pm.) The Bowling Green and Punch Bowl kept the piped music/juke box on while people sang! Not what I expected at all. Thanks to the Festival crew for their stewarding and management. Did anyone else notice the cloudless sky on Sunday evening just before Keith D's set? The Spooky men were brill! Great to hear them in (and out of)the beer tent until the early hours! See you next year. Hazel |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Linda Kelly Date: 30 Jul 07 - 05:02 PM I got sunburnt -how weird is that? thanks for My Guru for port cheese and wonderful company, to Ray P Col K the Ducks and every one from Hull for the rolling folk festival which makes summers so great in any weather. A wonderful festival the gorgeous Spooky Men who sang in the bar till 4.00am totally awesome, to the joyous late night singing run by Brian amd meeting old friends Noreen KAB etc who I catch up with so rarely. Not long until the next one-where's the insect repellant? |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: muppitz Date: 31 Jul 07 - 07:46 AM I didn't know there was a list otherwise I would have made the effort to sign it! I was a Moor & Coast slave as per usual so if you were in it over the weekend you may have known I was there! Had a bit of a walk round town on Saturday and stumbled into the open mic at the Punch Bowl, so I did a little bit of playing. I had a good time despite the mud! However I was a little narked at all of the teenybopping groupies Seth Lakeman seems to have gained, most people at the front dancing seemed to be there hero worshipping him because he's nice to look at rather than him being a good musician. Enjoyed Steve Tilston and Malinky thoroughly, I really wish Malinky would come down to England more often, the Quarterpounders are a bit nifty too, their flautist managed to play a Michael McGoldrick tune with a dislocated thumb, ceilidh dancing to the Glorystrokes is clearly bad for your health! muppitz x |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Les from Hull Date: 31 Jul 07 - 09:55 AM We enjoyed really Warwick this year (well we do every year!) but we must congratulate the incredible organisation in the way it dealt with all the problems thrown at them by the weather. We should particularly mention the great work done by the Task Force workers - they were the ones who had to bear the brunt of the extra work. And still smiling faces everywhere! We enjoyed meeting up with old friends, making new ones and hearing great music everywhere. Roll on next year! Les and Maggie |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: GUEST,KAB Date: 31 Jul 07 - 12:32 PM Another splendid Warwick.Thanks to Dick Dixon et al. Echo the special mention for the school staff who throughout had a very positive "can do" attitude and a determination to achieve success. Thank you to all Festival goers who put up with some inconveniences and necessary changes to the well oiled routine that Warwick prides itself on. Good to hear the lovely and dulcet harmonies of "Hissyfit" once more and to put faces to some more Mudcat names,Les from Hull and Maggie amongst others. |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: Mr Red Date: 31 Jul 07 - 02:43 PM Yea - a thanks to the groundsman who Ok'd it for me to push my van onto the site. at 200Kg it is lighter than trailer tents by a long way, less damage to grass and less stick in mud - which was very much a factor in choosing it (I could never be a stick in mud). |

Subject: RE: Warwick F F who is going? From: GUEST,Col K Date: 31 Jul 07 - 05:06 PM Many thanks for all your comments about the festival.

Skipy there is only one me, and I is tired only got home today tuesday at about 3.30pm.
