Hissyfit Linda, do my eyes deceive me, you require a guitar pickup at Saddleworth? I presume you mean a lead to connect you to the PA and not someone to pick up the guitar for you????
Who will be playing it?
Either way, we will endeavour to remain impressive!!!!
Looking forward to seeing you both at the Saddleworth Sauna (Paddleworth will be a distant memory). Only managed to catch your last 2/3 songs in The Marsh at Cleck due to stewarding duties.
To all Mudcatters: This years will be the best Saddleworth FF ever, miss it at your peril. Be there or be.........??????????

Raymond, my good friend Michael O'Leary-Johns is Irish, his people are from Macroom, in the fair province of Cork in southern Ireland (Eire) it just happens that they were forced, as so many were by economic presures, to emigrate to Wales to find work in the Steel works newly built there.If that makes him Welsh, then I'm a Dutchman!
Roll on the Day!
The beers masy well be on you!
Cheers Scowie.

I hotly dispute being one of Scowies ten score and he might agree for once with a Tyke.

Eh Up! The Tykes have all retired to deep cover somewhere in Darkest Yorkshire, their line having been absolutely ravaged by the wit and sheer erudition of our Great and Glorious Leader of Men, Mr Sid of Euxton City.
One does hope their wits return to them somewhat, perhaps even in time for the Battle!

"Fettle" - dress; ease; condition. (Tim Bobbin, Milnrow, Lancashire Dialect Glossary 1746). Also, Soldier Boy, should have listened in those geography lessons. There are TWO Calders, one is a big dirty polluted thing in Yorkshire the other a rather pretty, though smaller, river in Lancashire - Like me!(although there is a town near Edinburgh called "Calderbank" just to confuse everyone.) - SID

Yes, Scowie remembers it well enough, I've just forgotten which one of the ten score you were!
As for the word "Fettling" of course it's LANKY, but you know them there Tykes will pinch anything!

General Yorkshire word for cleaning.In the textile industry fettler/fettle is the term for cleaning up a carding engine to keep it at its best to produce the best web therefore a better yarn is then spun.In Lancashire its a sexual term "I`ll fettle thee"don`t ask me for details I don`t Know.

'Here's an example, from Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey of 1847, in the Yorkshire dialect speech of a servant: "But next day, afore I'd gotten fettled up — for indeed, Miss, I'd no heart to sweeping an' fettling, an' washing pots; so I sat me down i' th' muck —'

fettling as far as i know comes from the iron and steel industry in particular when castings are made it is the process used to remove any pattern marks from the mould that are left on the final casting.

Here's one for you guys...anyone know where the expression 'in fine fettle' comes from ? I've a feeling it's something to do with the horsey profession but not sure and more important is it a Lanky or Tyke expression (or neither)....

Your Captain Calderbank could be a renegade traitor if he is named after The Calder. It's a YORKSHIRE river running through Halifax and Brighouse and stuff - I'd watch out if I was you when he realizes where his true roots come from!!!

Cheers Orson, Hope the council comes good with your request and i've made a similar request to the 'creator of the universe and all that we know' and will dance a sun jig the night b4 to be sure. If that fails i guess i'll just have to use me snorkel again to get back to me tent!

P.S yes Linda, am sure you're sharpening your pitchfork (sorry tuning fork) for the 13th battle of the Rose. Just hope Lancs do better than our cricket team are currently doing at Old Trafford !

Sorry for the delay in replying - I've been at Glastonbury. Yes, it's Kro Bar (the one directly opposite the Manchester University student union on Oxford Road) tomorrow night (Wed 30th) from 8pm. It'd be lovely to see some of you there. Come and say hello! (I'll be the one with dark hair and a frenzied look on my face!

Thanks for that Vin2 (is there a 1 and will there be a 3?), I have browsed that site before, well worth a look.
See you at Saddleworth, we have sent a request to the council for good weather this year. Mind you, the Civic Hall was re-christened 'The Saddleworth Sauna' some years ago by Julie Matthews when she and Chris came off stage. It was so hot and still.
Off to Cleck this weekend.

Yes Orson, i remember that year of the power cut well. The Hometowners with Pete's awsome voice kept it going brilliantly, fair play to em !

Brendan's voyage is a cracking song and a couple of other faves of mine that Pete often sings is Durham Jail (Gaol) and Over the Hills.

Below is a nice web site with pics of the lads and lots of others.

Aye Linda, y'all sharpening your pitch forks (sorry tuning forks) in readiness for 13th battle o't rosies ?

Provided Pete Mac is in fine voice, we will get him onto that stage.
Who can forget his rendition of Brendan's voyage when we had the power cut a number of Saddleworth's ago eh? The song kept going around my head for weeks after.
