Subject: RE: English Country Music Weekend, Ampthill From: Ross Date: 07 Jun 10 - 03:56 AM Anybody know Where the session opportunities will be? |
Subject: RE: English Country Music Weekend, Ampthill From: GUEST Date: 07 Jun 10 - 06:05 AM Taz Tarry said there's a couple of pubs and the Rugby Club (and outdoors if fine I suppose) |
Subject: RE: English Country Music Weekend, Ampthill From: Chris Partington Date: 07 Jun 10 - 11:44 AM Session opportunities. Essentially the whole weekend is meant to be one long session, from when you arrive till whenever you fall asleap. 4am is typical. The main session is in the Rugby club, and smaller sessions in whatever pub you can talk into it. Plus there are talks on various aspects of the tradition to give your fingers a rest. |

Subject: RE: English Country Music Weekend, Ampthill From: Dave Hunt Date: 22 Jun 10 - 06:21 AM A splendid weekend - well done to Taz - and also to Redbornestoke morris for their invaluable help. I can't walk as far as the pubs so stayed in the Rugby Club all weekend - some magnificent music - and some great stepdancing too - both from the travellers - especially Percy West and Leo Baker - and from those involved in the Dartmoor stepping - (six at once on Sunday afternoon!) Next year at Brighlingsea will be the first time ECMW has been held at the seaside - buckets, spades and knotted handkies obligatory! Dave. |
Subject: RE: English Country Music Weekend, Ampthill From: greg stephens Date: 22 Jun 10 - 07:23 AM What's Brightlingsea like? Are we talking buckets and spades, or muddy creek? |
Subject: RE: English Country Music Weekend, Ampthill From: IanC Date: 22 Jun 10 - 07:30 AM Muddy Creek, but Clacton & Walton are not far. |
Subject: RE: English Country Music Weekend, Ampthill From: Surreysinger Date: 22 Jun 10 - 08:52 AM Didn't make it for the whole weekend after all, but it was lovely to see and hear everybody in action on the Sunday. Thanks for another lovely event Taz (and all others involved). |
Subject: RE: English Country Music Weekend, Ampthill From: treewind Date: 22 Jun 10 - 06:13 PM It was a corker! We came along for most of Saturday and then most of Sunday - within reach of home for us. Well done Taz and Redbournstoke. Who's organising the Brightlingsea ECMW? |
Subject: RE: English Country Music Weekend, Ampthill From: Dave Hunt Date: 22 Jun 10 - 06:19 PM Brightlinsea is at the mouth of the River Colne, a nice little port - see - http://tinyurl.com/35csl87 It shares a joint estuary with the Blackwater I shall probably be anchored off there sometime next week1! - on s.b Centaur - a Thames barge. |
Subject: RE: English Country Music Weekend, Ampthill From: Surreysinger Date: 22 Jun 10 - 06:20 PM Just reading those posts again - Dave - who was the sixth stepper on Sunday afternoon ? I counted five - Laurel, Nina, Jason, Matt and Simon ... who was number six??? |
Subject: RE: English Country Music Weekend, Ampthill From: Dave Hunt Date: 23 Jun 10 - 04:56 AM I must have been seeing double then - 5 is correct! AND question above as to who is organising ECMW 2011 at Brightlingsea - AFAIK Roger Digby, Celia Kemp and ?? |
Subject: RE: English Country Music Weekend, Ampthill From: GUEST,PeterC Date: 24 Jun 10 - 09:17 AM Roger Digby, Celia Kemp and Liz Giddings |
Subject: RE: English Country Music Weekend, Ampthill From: Howard Jones Date: 24 Jun 10 - 04:31 PM Has a date been fixed yet for 2011? |
Subject: RE: English Country Music Weekend, Ampthill From: GUEST,PeterC Date: 24 Jun 10 - 04:47 PM Not that I have heard. It won't be the normal weekend as that clashes with Brightlingsea carnival. |
Subject: RE: English Country Music Weekend, Ampthill From: alanww Date: 25 Jun 10 - 10:06 AM That's good PeterC! If its not the "normal" weekend, 2011 sounds possible for me as it won't then clash with Alcester Folk Festival, Evesham Day of Dance, Stratford-upon-Avon Beer Festival or Falmouth Maritime Festival etc ...! "... some ringing, some dancing and singing...!" Alan |
