Subject: RE: uk folkies From: Jo Taylor Date: 23 May 99 - 07:28 PM ...and I'm one living in France. There are quite a few of us ex-patriates, we've been missing AlistairUK recently (he's in Brazil) but where's Pete M? (New Zealand)???? I haven't been into many threads recently owing to a terminally ill computer (borrowed a friend's, very very kind of him) but have seen no sign of Pete. Anyone? Jo |

Subject: RE: uk folkies From: Penny S. Date: 23 May 99 - 07:35 PM I had a message from Pete M on the 11th, the last day he posted in the threads. He said he was going back to work, but I don't know if that meant away from the computer or not. |
|
Subject: RE: uk folkies From: katlaughing Date: 23 May 99 - 07:36 PM PeteM emailed me about 2-3 weeks ago and said his time would be very limited for quite awhile as he'd got a new contract which would require fulltime input from him. Good to have the work, I'm sure, but I still miss his postings. katlaughing ( we exchange critter stories) |

Subject: RE: uk folkies From: Roger the zimmer Date: 24 May 99 - 04:40 AM Well, I'm in the UK but I'm more of a jazz & blues person than a folkie but being on Mudcat has revived my interest in things folk, to the extent of relistening to old records and buying some new ones. |

Subject: RE: uk folkies From: SueH Date: 24 May 99 - 06:26 AM I'm in Hertfordshire. Fairly well served around the area for folk clubs & sessions, additionally we run a folk club in Letchworth. We have the MacCalmans next week - I'd suggest you all came along, but you're all miles away! SueH |

Subject: RE: uk folkies From: danl Date: 24 May 99 - 06:55 AM ah, now this is a good thread! did anyone else when they first started mudcatting wonder why it said things like 6:30 AM when it was actualy about quarter to 12 in the late morning? no? well perhaps that was just me being ignorant then. im not really based in any one place, spending term time in gloustershire (unfortunatly) and the rest of my time in either cambridge or leigh - on - sea, essex (yes, an essex girl... . i do know all the jokes), and weekends all over the place because im part of the re-enactment group the Sealed Knot which takes me to some very far flung corners of this isle. anyway, is anyone likely to be at the cambridge folk festival this year? im going for the first time and prehaps if anyone else is we could come face to face with each other.... very scary. love ivy b. |

Subject: RE: uk folkies From: AndyG Date: 24 May 99 - 07:40 AM Ivy< Well if you look in at the Club Tent between Mid-day and six on the Saturday you'll see a short-arsed, balded, beardish, bloke running about backstage, chivvying folk on and off stage. This is me, the tall one isn't me. The Club is The Mayflower Folk Club, (Portland Arms, Tuesday Nights). I can't claim to be that impressed by this years line-up but Sunday looks good. (John Tams Band, Kate (sigh) Rusby).

Subject: RE: uk folkies From: SueH Date: 25 May 99 - 04:15 AM Hi Ian You're just up the road! I knew there was a session at Ashwell but we haven't been along yet. The folk club at Letchworth is fairly new, my husband runs it & so far we have had Martin Wyndham-Read, Jez Lowe, & this Friday it is The MacCalmans. Basically it's on the 4th Friday of every month. There will be a break for July & Aug, when most clubs close. We started it up to try & get in more traditional artists, it's getting known that's the difficulty. There's also a very good session on the 4th Wednesday of every month (ie tomorrow) at The Greyhound pub, St Ippollyts (just outside Hitchin on the Codicote Road). This encompasses a range of instruments (fiddle, concertina, accordian. melodeon, bodhran, guitars, hammer dulcimer, bouzouki etc etc) & singing too. It's run by Barry Goodman, who is half of Life & Times & also a member of Time of Your Life. It's a very friendly session. Our phone number is 01462 438373 if you want to get in contact with us.

Subject: RE: uk folkies From: The_one_and_only_Dai Date: 25 May 99 - 05:12 AM bill\sables,Sam,Mike,Graham,Ian: Do any of you ever get up to Skipton? I was listening to a CD last night by a guy called Dave Moss (band called Bannoffi [sic]). Brilliant. I believe he attends a session there - if you see him, pass on my compliments. |

Subject: RE: uk folkies From: danl Date: 25 May 99 - 06:28 AM one and only dai - damn me i hate coincidences. how long have you been in northamptons then? coz im not sure i recognise your name and im just about to start my 6th season in our illustrious green machine ... it could be just me being a bit slow so early in the mornig .but this could also be where you extract a rather unfashionable confession out of me about the fact that 'ivy' is not a name that figures on the regiments list at all. go on, guess! if you get it right ill buy you a pint this weekend at sudeley! (if your going that is...!) love ... er... ivy b. more beer, more shouting, resistance is futile. |

Subject: RE: uk folkies From: danl Date: 25 May 99 - 06:37 AM andy g ok, maybe it is too early in the morning for me (11:30, still officially morning so the excuse still stands) but ive got ECWS and obviously know what SK stands for but KAotW, KA and RA? now im lost with the abriviations. anyway, didnt the ECWS do something at whitny and blow up 60 of the public's cars and burn down a feild? no, my mistake, perhaps that was us. think thats the only time we dont mind being confused though...! love ivy b. |

Subject: RE: uk folkies From: Ian Date: 25 May 99 - 08:03 AM SueH Thanx. I know Barry G and the Greyhound session. For a good list of Herts/Essex sessions etc. you can try my Friend Kevin's site at http://www.macgrath.freeserve.co.uk It also has some of his songs (I like the Marmite one). May see you at Letchworth soon, though I'm restoring bells at Orton Waterville this Friday so not much chance then. Dai Yes, my wife was born a few miles from Skipton so we get there now and again. Never been to that session, though. This is getting to look like a series of mixed up conversations. Maybe we should start a new thread or 2. (ps I was a member of the King's Army about 1977. Sir Thomas Tyldesley's Regiment of Foot. Great singing with the RA.) |

Subject: RE: uk folkies From: AndyG Date: 25 May 99 - 08:35 AM My, my, my, isn't it a small world ! Ian, which bit of Tyldesley's Regt ? I hadn't been dismissed from the KA for "persistant malignacy" in 1977 :)

Subject: RE: uk folkies From: danl Date: 25 May 99 - 11:37 AM now im intriged....! would you know Mim Bower then by chance? it was thanks to her and others that i first became intrested in folk to start with. im trying to work this all out but yes, may have to ask Bob this weekend! this thread is certainly becoming intresting and seems to have thrown up quite a few re-enactors, though perhaps this is not such a coincidence after all. love ivy b. |

Subject: RE: uk folkies From: SueH Date: 25 May 99 - 01:10 PM Hi Ian again We are on Kevin's web site (St Ipps session, Letchworth gigs, Nail La Mad Nanny! & Tam Lin (my husband's bands). How long since you looked at his site???????? I have tried putting all the above on a few others, but most of them are like black holes - you send the info & never get a response. However the Tam Lin site should be up & running v. soon, having got started at last I am getting on with it fairly quickly; and I shall be putting as many links on as I can think of. Shame about Friday. You might enjoy the sessions though, they really are v. friendly, as you might expect with Barry running them! Sue |

Subject: RE: uk folkies From: The Shambles Date: 25 May 99 - 02:23 PM There is also this one for those in the UK http://www.mudcat.org/thread.CFM?threadID=5704. Let us not exclude the rest of the world too much, these threads must be pretty boring for them? |
|
Subject: RE: uk folkies From: The Shambles Date: 25 May 99 - 02:34 PM Ivy B and AndyG. Could you start a new thread explaining all about your re-enactment stuff. I'm sure that there will be a lot of people here who would be interested, as I for one am, but I feel I have come in, in the middle of it and I am a bit lost. Could you start at the beginning for me? |

Subject: RE: uk folkies From: Sam Pirt Date: 25 May 99 - 03:03 PM Hi I don't need to say this(Ian and Bill have said this already)My names Sam Pirt and I live in the UK and funly enought I am off to Beverly. I may ewll pop accross to the workshop and see you. Cheers, Sam |

Subject: RE: uk folkies From: katlaughing Date: 26 May 99 - 10:41 AM I'm not from the UK, either, but feel as though I should be. I noticed nobody responded to Cat A Tonic, so I thought I would. CatAT, why don't yougo ahead and list his intinerary; that way everyone can check it out to see if they might attend. Also, I second the request for a thread about reenactments. Sounds really interesting. katlaughing, descended from UK's Hudsons, Forsyths, Crawfords, Sutherlands, Fountains, Ewings, Youmans, and a few more! |
