Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: GUEST,Tally Ho Man Date: 09 Feb 10 - 07:19 AM Jan and I should be there on Saturday! Sounds fun. Looks like we'll be parking the caravan at the back of the pub, how will we cope? |

Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Mr Happy Date: 09 Feb 10 - 07:52 AM Excellent, Mark! Will you be bring JJ as well? |
|
Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: mandotim Date: 09 Feb 10 - 09:05 AM Looks like we'll be coming, with the giant caravan. What's access to the field like for long vehicles?. Tim and Ann |
|
Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Mr Happy Date: 09 Feb 10 - 09:16 AM Tim, Good to hear from you! The 30 foot trailer'd be best sited on the hard standing at back of hotel, as the runway into the field is quite a tight angle for anything biggish. We were there last August bank hol & there were some caravans on the field, but were smaller ones. Look forward seeing y'all! |
|
Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Tally Ho Man Date: 09 Feb 10 - 09:20 AM Hopefull JJ will be there. Will be seeing him soon and will make him an offer he can't understand! |

Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: GUEST,jeff Date: 09 Feb 10 - 12:22 PM Would like to apologize for the thread hijack, but figure that here would be the best place to get local info. My wife and I are in the process of organizing a cycling tour of North Wales in the summer of 2011. We're both musicians and have Welsh heritage. I can trace mine to 1670 and my wife to the early 1800s. We'll be coming in on the ferry from Dun Laoghaire to Holyhead. From there we'll take A5 east to A4080 south. The plan, so far is to traverse the A4080 to an unnamed road(according to Mapmyride.com)that heads south just past Lon Faen Rd. on the left. This path, eventually ends at seaside. It's 25.2 miles from the ferry dock to this point. My question is this: Is there a ferry or contractor that could carry us and our gear from there across the Menai Strait to Caenarfon where we intend to spend our first days. We'd rather avoid crossing Anglesey to the Menai Bridge through Bangor, if possible as it would add about 20 miles to a long travel day. My e-mail address is welshdude2@yahoo.com. Just put 'Cycling Trip' in the subject line for those with local knowledge and kind enough to rs. We're spending a solid month. Only going as far south as Aberystwyth east afa Welshpool and back thru Mallwyd, Bethesda, Betws-y-Coed and on to and thru Angelsey to Holyhead. Thank you in advance for any and all rs and references. Bore da! Jeff |

Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: folkorbit Date: 09 Feb 10 - 03:25 PM Oops! I just twittered the Big Bull Bay Bash. There's over 3 million coming but don't worry I know them all. I can vouch for them because I met them all on Twitter. Those from the USA are asking "Where is the nearest airport and camping shop"? Will there be a Swahili interpreter for the Zulu contingent whom will be going on to the eisteddfod afterwards. Oh yes! Sue and I will be coming. Colin |

Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Tally Ho Man Date: 09 Feb 10 - 07:25 PM Sadly JJ won't be there. He's backpacking somewhere! |

Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Mr Happy Date: 10 Feb 10 - 07:55 AM over 3 million coming? Wow! I'd better tell Jo [the landlady], wonder if she'll be pleased or horrified?? |

Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: GUEST,BanjoRay Date: 10 Feb 10 - 08:35 AM Sorry, I can't make it that far - I have to be in the Cotswolds on Sunday for Sore Fingers week. I can make the Stags till sunday morning, but Amlwch is a bit OTT for me. Havce a good one - I'm sure you will. Cheers Ray |

Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: GUEST,Dizzy Lizzie Date: 12 Feb 10 - 02:23 AM Not sure about my plans yet but I'll have a look at our diaries for that weekend! I may just dust off the caravan, but the big car is a bit poorly so if we don't make it - it may be because the clutch fell off! And don't forget we'll definately be back at Bull Bay last weekend in JULY! See you Sat at Hoars Bed Mr Happy?? |
|
Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Mr Happy Date: 12 Feb 10 - 10:18 AM GUEST,Dizzy Lizzie, Why not use a tent? Not sure about Sat nite, Jim & Barby are in Norn Iron, so depends if I can get lift |
|
Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: GUEST Date: 12 Feb 10 - 05:12 PM A tent - in April! I may have mentioned I don't do earwigs in my knickers any more!! Ha ha!
Thanks. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Richard Bridge Date: 12 Feb 10 - 07:39 PM Hmmm. Flat field, or autocross (with caravan)? Long way mind... |
|
Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Mr Happy Date: 13 Feb 10 - 06:48 AM Richard Bridge, The field is somewhat autocross in parts, but mostly flat. 2/3 berth caravans go on ok. Bigger vans best on hardstanding rear of hotel |
|
Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: mandotim Date: 13 Feb 10 - 11:02 AM We're definitely coming, but we've found a caravan site close by (more room at the pub for other vans!). Tim and Ann |
|
Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Mrs.Duck Date: 13 Feb 10 - 12:38 PM Definitely worthy of consideration. |
|
Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: GUEST,Dizzy Lizzie Date: 14 Feb 10 - 03:33 AM Definitely possible!!! Hoars Bed very quiet last night but a pleasant little session! We missed you Mr Happy! |
|
Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Crow Sister (off with the fairies) Date: 14 Feb 10 - 03:38 AM This looks magic! Lovely location and great ethos. I'd be unlikely to get there with public transport tho', too much hassle for a long weekend. Bums.. |
|
Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: mandotim Date: 14 Feb 10 - 04:02 AM Don't forget, the main railway line goes all the way to Holyhead, and I daresay someone would pick you up from there? |
|
Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Mr Happy Date: 14 Feb 10 - 05:22 AM Crow Sister, Why not get the train to Bangor or Holyhead, both about same distance from Amlwch, which is the nearest town to Bull Bay & as mandotim suggests, arrange with us to be picked up. PM me for info Hope you can make it as its not to be missed!! |
|
Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Mr Happy Date: 14 Feb 10 - 05:49 AM Mrs.Duck come on down, it'll be fab!!! Only last night I was regaling the assembly with a description of your superb rendition of '16 Stone' !! Be great to hear again! |
|
Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: My guru always said Date: 15 Feb 10 - 07:55 AM Aha, the first mention of this year's Bull Bay festival that I've noticed. Is it definitely the last weekend of July, ie. 30th July etc.?? |
|
Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Mr Happy Date: 15 Feb 10 - 08:15 AM My guru always said, No this is a different event. You'll find a clue as to when its happening in the thread title! |
|
Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: GUEST,Busy Lizzie Date: 16 Feb 10 - 05:01 AM Yes two great events!! Just updating the website with info but I will be organising the BULL BAY MUSIC FESTIVAL to take place 29th July - 1st August Bands to be confirmed, but agreed so far; Last ones out Nigel Beck Weavils I am mithering more to come - will let you know in the meantime, I may just get to see you all April!

Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: My guru always said Date: 16 Feb 10 - 07:53 AM Mr Happy, can I refer you to GUEST, DizzyLizzie's post of 12th Feb at 02.23am, which mentions the last weekend of July at the same venue. I was assuming that this was the first mention of the 'Bull's Bay Festival' and that was the query I posted on this thread. As I mentioned previously, we are running our own event at Easter, so reading the thread title is not a problem for me. I'm sorry that you did not understand my post. Perhaps someone here has the answer to my query regarding the Bull's Bay Festival? |

Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: GUEST,Busy Lizzie Date: 18 Feb 10 - 03:13 AM Let me clarify THE BULL BAY MUSIC FESTIVAL. This is organised by Liz Rosenfield ex. Middlewich Folk and Boat Festival Director and festival organiser in her own right! Takes place at the same Bull Bay Hotel in Anglesey from Thursday evening (informal session for early arrivers)then Friday, Sat, Sun and home on Monday! All camping is free for musicians and joiner inners! The rest of the home cooked food is very cheap and available all weekend. great chips!)The hosts Jo and the family look after the campers and musicians REALLY well. Musicians getting a free and very filling breakfast each day. Caravan hook up (through the kitchen window) on hardstanding available to about 4 or 5 caravans. Everyone else - in the field!! As well as sessions beginning any time in the day and outside if weather good, there is a function room if weather awful, and a lounge bar with bands playing live afternoon and evening. All that and dolphins just off the headland! You can find more info on LIz's website at www.inanyevent.org.uk which will be updated as we get nearer! And there are some pictures of 2009. And of course I must add that bands booked will also include Mr Happy and his Misery/mystery chords!! Guitar Mal will be joining us too and more to be confirmed. So a 'warm up' session in April is just what the Doctor ordered!! |

Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: My guru always said Date: 18 Feb 10 - 04:40 AM Thanks for your confirmation about the festival Liz, so good that you'll be doing it again this year. We might even get along, hopefully! Know that you'll all have a wonderful time at Easter, what a superb location!!! |
|
Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Tally Ho Man Date: 18 Feb 10 - 06:51 AM This sounds like a brilliant venue. I know Anglesey quite well but haven't been to Bull Bay since I were but a lad! Might even throw in a canoe (that'll scare the dolphins away)! My sister lives on the island so may be able to persude her and my Mum to pop along for a while. Will be up on the Saturday with the tin tent. Soooo excited about the hard standing!!!! The beer should be good too! |

Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Mr Happy Date: 19 Feb 10 - 07:36 AM As usual, we'll be having the traditional workshops & athletic events Weekend Workshops will include: Every morning around dawn +/- 50m dash to facilities block, followed by hopping up & down with both legs tightly clenched while waiting for the sitting tenant to emerge. +/- 50m dash back to tent, having forgotten to bring paper [to read!] +/- 50m dash back to facilities block, followed by hopping up & down with both legs tightly clenched while waiting for the sitting tenant to emerge. |

Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Busy Lizzy Date: 19 Feb 10 - 11:30 AM Couldn't have put it better myself Mr Happy! and then there's breakfast! Lots of fun, planning to pop up for at least a bit of the weekend! |
|
Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Mr Happy Date: 23 Feb 10 - 08:11 AM ........'course, I'll be taking along the Mr Happy patent 'Sat Lav' to simplify going through the motions!! |
