Hissy, in 'particular' company
Roaring (used to get that way - in a previous life)
Fit - also in a previous life
and
Forty - no, not any more!

So glad that Hull is playing at Wembley 'cos half the family is going there and I don't need to get a 'leave-pass' !

Looking forward to a super weekend.

Info for those that are camping on the leisure centre. Enter through the main gate and take the first turn right behind the centre, follow the road right round "don't turn right or left into either of the car parks" the main road turns to the left, then drive strait on to the field behind the swimming pool. This are will be marked out for caravans campervans and tents. Please Note. I have brought you in this way to avoid driving over the football fields where I am turfing and over seeding the fields prior to the folk festival and next seasons play. Your help in avoiding these areas of the field will be much appreciated. Cheers and hope you all have a great weekend. Cheers Oom Banjo.

One of the Foretop Men Shanty Group, George Clarke, will be appearing on Kevin Young's Radio Show tonight (20th May 2008) the Show is called the Beggars Folk Club. It is a two hour programme that runs from 19.00 hr till 21.00 hrs.

I'm told that you can listen live to the programme by following this link Beggars Folk Club.
Both George Clarke, Ken Stocks and Marie Blackburn will be at the Shanty Festival although I'm not sure of any of the timed spots or where or when at this time.

Why not tune in and enjoy the show?

I must tell you how much I enjoyed myself on Seaside Radio last night and afterwards at The Ship Inn regular Tuesday Night session.

Whilst playing live on air on Kevin Young's Beggars Folk Club Radio show he disappeared into a Closet whilst I was playing the Sailors Horn Pipe between verses.
He reappeared wearing a Vienna Boys Chore Sailors Suit and started dancing the Sailors Hornpipe. When I asked him later about the significance of him coming out of the Closet in his Sailors Suite. He said that he a bought it especially for the Beverly Beck Shanty Festival.

I did manage to get in plenty of plugs for the Shanty Festival although I was unable to give an accurate description of Ken Stocks or Mick McGarry due to the programme going out before the 9 o'clock watershed.

Nick, if you can find your way to the "Sun" keep that on your left follow the road round over the railway line; Hogesons on the right ;coupla hundred yards 'till your hat floats and you are at the Beck.If in doubt gizza bell and I will talk you in.

We are directing people to park opposite Hodgesons on what was the old museum site plenty of parking and it is free.

In answer to a lot of queries Re:the Artistes sessions in the pubs in the afternoon only, are being led by the M?c's and booked artists. These are being worked on the same principal as the Hull Maritime Festival, were the artists do a few songs and the rest is as a singaround if singers be available.
Looks like good weather so let us have a good 'un!!!

I've just looked at the Syntan website, and the links on the left appear to be an image - so obviously not clickable. Has someone been playing with some software again?

On similar lines, the timetable is also an image, and appears to fall off the right hand side - are there any more columns after Grovehill?

I've tried to phone Nev, but I suspect he's probably on deck with a paintbrush,

I had the same problem re menus on the left. I was using Opera browser. I changed to Internet Explorer and they became 'clickalbe'. I suspect this is a compatibility issue. The Programme still ends at Grovehill though.

The regular Friday session in the Tiger is going ahead as usual, mostly tunes.

The GroveHill Pub in Holme Church lane, venue for tunes sessions Sat / Sunday, has good accoustics and lots of character. There is a car park and a good big beer garden behind. They have got in some real ale. Looking forward to trying it out.
You can also get to it on foot from the beckside by going down 'Jack Taylor lane' from the north side of the beck, which is just opposite the Syntan.

In answer to comments the timetables are complete and do finish at "Grovehill"I will admit that they do take a little time to download.
