There's obviously something on Kevin's site that I've missed, Ian! I just checked it in case he had turned it into a porn site over the last week or so, but no, it appears to be just the same - how odd!

Hi Katlaughing et al, Since I'm very new on Mudcat, I sure hope I'm not coming across as an advertiser for hubby's gigs. Thought just that since I can't go to the UK, someone else might say hi in person to my significant other, and that would be like me being there (junior mudcatter). If you are interested in the itinerary, and I appreciate you suggesting I post it (Katlaughing), I will be very happy to send it thru email to whoever requests. That way, hopefully I won't step on anybody's paws. p.s. I love cats by the way and have 3!!!

Hello
Shambles ->I'll be at chippenam festival all weekend. I'm the guitarist in a young band called "6 pack" -a smaller version of the pack, and we'll be playing a gig with Nancy Kerr and James Fagan on Monday -I think in the afternoon. Might see you there!
Cheers,
Ian

Ian

I will be in the session at the Borough Arms or the Old Road Tavern. They are usually pretty good. Look for a hairy banjo/bouzouki player (strikingly handsome, for his age and modest too). I'll try and catch you playing. It will be nice to try and get together.

I'm surprised nobody admits to doing any dancing. Aren't there any morris dancers left?

...and a very talented bunch (?) they are too. I bought the CD at our own folk club, Dave Moss and another guy came down (not Banoffi). Any knowledge/prospect of a Dave Moss mad-bazuki-and-mandolin-type-release?

Dai,

I first heard of Dave Moss when he supported Jon Harvison a couple of years ago, which prompted me to go and see Banoffi - they were superb. The mailing list address given with their cd from 1997 is:

banoffi
bainley bank cottage
fryup street
Whitby
N. yorks
YO21 2AS

The form they provide to add yourself to the list has a space for your e-mail address so I assume they've an e-mail list too. I heard a rumour that there's another cd out or due out, not sure how true that is.

O.K If it's confession time (see Ian 2/6), then my name is Mike Cahill and I'm a Morris Dancer. There, they say that confession is good for the soul and I feel a lot better now I'm, "out". It started by accident I was in a pub and somehow got dragged into it (Press Ganged, more like). Been doing it 26 years now, it's ruined my life, never did get to be chief Exec. of ICI, or M.P. for Castleford. I might have been, you know!! But once they found out about my "habit" then they backed off and selected others over me. I'm not bitter, and now I'm too set in my ways to change. I take things a day at a time. I,ve not danced at all today yet. Just 2 hours and the day will be over. If you see a bunch of old men with Royal Blue velvet Knee Britches calling themselves the Wrigley Head North West Morris Men, Have pitty and buy us beer, were too old, week willed and addle brained to change. The beer will help us to forget the pain of the knackered knees, broken wind and the memory of how life used to be before we became slaves to this vile addiction. (You can see us at Middlewhich F.F. and Saddleworth Rushcart)8-)

Hurray for the UK folkies, this thread was passed on to me by the incredibly helpful shambles. I live in Clapham in London which I have a love hate relationship with.I have to get out whenever I can for some space and trees, but I like the hustle and bustle as well!

welcome to this odd thread! it seems to be comprised of several different conversations all at once!

just to double back on an old one (apoloagies to everyone else)

Dai - of course ive heard of you! sorry about that. last time you were around though i was only a mere chit of a girl following my big brothers around. everyone sends their regards. Major Bob says you were so good looking you made everyone else feel ugly.

love ivy b*

ps i think that i said id be able to meet any mudcatters at the cambridge folk festerval. well it seems i have a bit of a funds problem so might not be able to make it. never mind, i might win the lottery before then perhaps.
