Oh good, nearly down to single figures which are much easier to count down as I can keep my socks on in this cold weather.

I'm not expected to bring a stopwatch and time you lot, am I, boys?! ;-)

A stopwatch? No. A calendar should be accurate enough, so it would seem...

We only have space now for 1 more campervan/ caravan. If you are thinking of bringing one and haven't got tickets or booked your van space, please do so quickly.

There is a caravan site about 2 miles awy if you're not quick enough to bag the last van spot!

Cheers

Only there Fri night Unicorn Man - sorry!
We're on last (late) so if you travel up on the Fri eve - you could still see an hour and a half (minimum!) from 10.15 onward (I think - check times somewhere above).

How many are left ticket wise ie

Friday?
Saturday?
Sunday?
Weekend?

From: Banjiman
Date: 10 Feb 08 - 03:36 PM

Nick, capacity will be reached if the number of tickets shown below are sold. Basically, all the Saturday tickets have gone (more than) but at this late stage I will split the remaining allocation of w/e tickets into day tickets if anyone just wants to come for 1 day or 2 days.


Friday = 21 max
Sat = 14 max (actually weekend tickets)
Sun = 23 max

I hope that makes sense! £5 for Friday, £8 for Saturday, £5 for Sunday. £15 for the weekend.

BBP...the weather will be perfect for something, whatever it is like!

Well, we're doing the sound for the weekend - the PA is sorted and checked, and we're just about ready to go. We'll be down from 2.30ish tomorrow (Friday) afternoon to set up.

Paul, on behalf of all of us at Brother Crow, well done with the organisation, and we hope it's a fab weekend for everyone. We'll certainly be doing our bit to ensure everything runs smoothly.

See you all there...

Graeme and Andy,

For information, Jez Lowe has given the festival a plug in his regular Northern Echo column today.

He says, and I quote:

"I have a Saturday Night concert at The Winter Warmer Weekend at The Black Horse in Kirkby Fleetham, where the full line-up includes Keepers Fold, Brother Crow and The Duncan McFarlane Band in what promises to be a humdinger of a festival."

So there you go, it's officially a humdinger....

Nice one Jez!

Just a taster/ reminder of what you are missing!

My other half at her best, if hindered by a banjo player (I'm shameless but I love this wee song she wrote) from You Tube
Wendy Arrowsmith: The Visitor

...and Brother Crow at their very best too
Brother Crow: Let The Dance Go On

Go on take the time for a look/ listen...you might enjoy!

Kim, we wish you were here too!

Singaround sounds absolutely stunning Pete.

Complete sell-out last night....120+ in attendance. Singaround still going strong at 1.15am when I wimped out.

Excellent acts all day, I'll post a full review tomorrow....just wanted to highlight The Hut People as excellent entertainment....if anyone is within striking distance of Grimsby Folk Club, they are on tonight....go, you will enjoy them!

If you are near Kirkby Fleetham, get yourself down here today, we still have a few tickets for today and more excellent acts!
