Although this venue is not a million miles from where I live, I must admit to never having been to Roxby before last Saturday. Ian Swinburne (see Loftus Open Acoustic on Facebook) gigged there that night and we went up a bit early to have a skeggy (thats a Yorkshire look) about the place.   Three rooms with varing degree of separation, beer garden with optional extension into a lawned area depending upon the weather (see discussion above) and a large reasonable flat field (unusual in this area) as camp site.   Landlord is very welcoming to the idea of lots of people in his pub making music, not just at the festival time, presuming they are buying his beer !   Not being a beer drinker, I can't comment on the quality of his brew, but others seemed to be enjoying it to a great degree. In short, a nice pub with stunning views over sea and moor-land and the prospect of a great long week-end with friends old and new. Love & Peace, Maggie xxx

Consultations have been fruitful. We is coming for the full stint and a cheque will be in the post by the end of the weekend. Do I need to forewarn people of my banjo playing tendencies? Oh and the snoring and flatulence too?

I realise you are just the IT assistant and online presence in this endeavour. Will be interested to see what climatological magic you have at you disposal, to make you rash enough to promise "warm and balmy" in N Yorks in July.

If, however, you had said warm and BARMY ......??

Great- it is going to part of our main break too. Carol, in case you don't recognise me from me nickname "foggers", its Jane from Sheffield; we chatted at Kiveton Park folk club the night Judy Cook was singing there on the Tues of Easter week.

Hi Jane, no I didn't know who foggers was, but I've always enjoyed Tony's 'do'. Good to 'talk to' you again. Haven't made my mind up about trying the Bradfield weekend , then going straight over to Roxby.
Difficult decisions! It is lovely countryside around there - not sure about the swimming.

Why yes! Cleopatra bathed in asses milk. I swim in Greene King IPA; both very good for the complexion and it means it don't matter that I swim with me gob open. In fact it's an advantage..... Hic!

don't the bubbles in the beer affect your buoyancy? maybe its outbreaks of IPA that help cause the Bermuda triangle effect ?

last year we attended the Staithes acoustic bash and i've rang the cook and the new landlady tells me thats also running the same time so do we get 2 for the price of 1

Is there a new land lady?
I didn't realize there was a Staithes one this year so as far as I know they would be separate entities..
You don't have to pay to attend the Roxby one what you pay for is the camping..the entry to the pub and the playing of music is for free ..

Natalie is the new gaffer and tells me there are no entry fee's to the cook either so we can flit between the 2, though it'll be hard to beat the quality of the beer at the cook, i was there a few weeks ago and Nat keeps a beer just as good as Trev used to and the range was as good as ever..........she as a new chef aswell food i got fish, chips, mushy peas and a pint of beer all for £6.50, the missus had pizza and a wine, also £6.50...

Hiya,
       Just had an email from the Captain Cook at Staithes to say they are having an Acoustic Music Festival from July 25TH TO 29TH Free entry and the format is the same as last year, so it looks like history is repeating itself (Dent & Holmefirth spring to mind).May pop in on both as I finish this year's Walk for Amos in Whitby that weekend, 200 miles in 9 days from Windermere to Whitby via Ilkley, York and Helmsley, (more info. to follow).

Good luck to both ventures.

Cheers

Muppett

muppett well we will keep an eye open for a road weary traveler and hope you have fine weather for your journey..

Maybe you could let us know what the Walk For Amos is all about ?
I am sure there must be folks who might want to support you in some way.

cheers mate it is a lovely area couple miles to the rugged coast..nice beach at Staithes and the local kids swim in the harbor I believe they have boat rides and fishing trips there too.
there are shops with all the usual things an art gallery and a craft/art collective type sales room in the old town.
there is also a coop or sainsbury or some such ,but it is only a small one so no the huge range of stuff you might want.
Whitby is made up with shops and not far to drive or catch the bus.
a few pubs etc.
not far from the North yorks moors and all that there is to do and see there either..

Hi, I have sent a couple of emails to Tony this week regarding booking camping and as yet I've had no reply... is this usual? I'm new to Mudcat so don't know the etiquet.
