I've just spoken to Phil at the pub....arrive any time from midday on Friday 15th and start a singin' and a playin' as soon as you like!

He's promising to make the "full English" and other meals attractively inexpensive so that no one has any need to leave the pub all weekend....though there are some nice walks around her if you feel the need.

Cheers

are tickets needed for the pub singaround?

Subject: RE: Winter Warmer Weekend N.Yorkshire UK FEB
From: Banjiman
Date: 14 Jan 08 - 06:00 PM

Unfortunately yes, for 2 reasons....

1/ It means we don't have to internally "police" the event to see who has tickets and who doesn't, we'd rather that everyone can just wander around freely.

2/ For the event to break even we need to fill the pub with ticket holders, otherwise I am personally out of pocket.....doing the full weekend at such low cost means that there is no slack in the finances.

3/ All of the acts have also agreed to appear for low or no fees to help get the club and the Winter Warmer Weekend off the ground....it completely negates their generosity in building up a fund for future events if people don't pay. Even without acts these things cost money to put on.

I'm sorry if this doesn't meet your particular needs....the full weekend is only £15 though with day tickets available at the ridiculously low cost of £5 for Friday or Sunday and £8 for Saturday....I don't think anyone can really complain at these prices.

Plus if like me you will 99% of my time in the singarounds you're getting 2 nights camping for the price of the ticket plus Paul needs to pay for publicity etc. Quite a few singers coming already so should be some good sessions.

Hi Diane,

Sorry you can't make it.

If the Winter Warmer is successful (i.e. we sell all the tickets....still 20 left!) and everyone has a good time (with 5 real ales and the talents of the bands and informal singers & players, I think they will) we might do a "1st birthday party" in November as a weekend...we'll see!

Unfortunately fate has worked against us so John and I won't be able to make it as we had hoped (sob). Have a great weekend and we'll hope you have one in November we can try for.

CD?

Love and hugs

Dear Mr McF, you think that's impressive......Brother Crow who are on on Friday night as well have several songs that last 4 hours EACH (Sorry Graeme, sorry Andy,,,,I just couldn't resist!!).

You 2 (Duncan/ Hamish) better be nice about them though as Graeme is also doing the sound for the weekend.

Actually they're great listen to them here: http://www.myspace.com/kirkbyfleethamfolkclub
along with Duncan....and I'll put one of Hamish's tracks up as well.....when I can find his CD!! (sorry Hamish) in the meantime you can hear him here

Now now Paul, you know very well we're working on that concept album (yes really)...and you STILL haven't heard us do "Joshua" with its 20 minute mandolin solo...prog folk indeed!!!

We can do around 6 hours (seriously) before we repeat ourselves, over half of that would be original songs.....and that's not including the songs that Andy could do on his own.

We've a warm up gig next Thursday (7th February) at the Kings, Hope Street, Crook, Co. Durham where we'll be restricting ourselves to just the three hours...come along if you're in the area, it'll be noisy though, 'cos it's a pub gig. Will we compromise our material.......not a chance!!!

Looking forward to the KFFC weekend.

Graeme,
Brother Crow.

Tut tut - let's not get cheeky now.

We also improvise on many songs... and they are therefore open-ended...
you should hear our extended version of 'In A Gadda Da Vida'!!!

...now I wonder if anyone's spotted these posts a merely a ruse?
Course they have!
But it's a larf, innit!
