Subject: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Fran Date: 10 Nov 02 - 11:50 AM Hi Any one going to Bedworth this year? The programme is now online at bedworth folk festival |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: breezy Date: 10 Nov 02 - 11:56 AM Jeremy Taylor at Burcot Village hall on Sat 30th November, they should have booked him. |

|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 10 Nov 02 - 02:09 PM Hey Snuffy, know of any cheap places to stay? I might come but month is outlasting the money if you know what I mean.... LTS |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Mr Red Date: 10 Nov 02 - 02:19 PM We did B&B last year and the Travel Inn (or Lodge oh who cares they're all the same) was the only thing we found and we ain't doin' that again - 'sides I wus working last year. Indoor camping is organised around three levels of noise but I only tried that once. It's the caravan for me and the train for Joy - but she only does the ceilidh anyway. |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 10 Nov 02 - 02:24 PM Mr Red, we too were in that Travelodge.... and yes they are all the same... all crappy! Was hoping to blag something else this year.... Ah well... LTS |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Gurney Date: 10 Nov 02 - 10:57 PM Wish I was. Just 11000 miles too far. Some old mates (and fellow 'catters) there. |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Snuffy Date: 11 Nov 02 - 08:47 AM I'm doing the indoor camping again - can get very cosy (think Black Hole of Calcutta), but only £3 |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: MairSea Date: 11 Nov 02 - 08:51 AM We're going this year. Last year we were in Travelodge - looking for somewhere this year. At least Travelodge was a bed for the night! |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: GUEST,IanN Date: 11 Nov 02 - 09:26 AM Hi If you can, check out The Salt Town Poets who will be appearing as part of the poetry & story telling spot. We intersperse our poetry with music so we're worth a look even if you don't like poetry! What was wrong with the Travel Lodge? |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: JudeL Date: 11 Nov 02 - 10:54 AM Have just been trying to book a ticket online, only to be sent round in circles by paypal. Ahhhh |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Emma B Date: 11 Nov 02 - 01:49 PM All the usual suspects then!! Have booked my ticket (snail mail - no problems) but I'm flying back from Madrid the day before so hope to see you all there (save me a place in the Scout Hut Snuffy) |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Snuffy Date: 11 Nov 02 - 07:30 PM I've got a gig Friday night, Mo, so won't be arriving till Sat am. Can you save me a place! WassaiL! V |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Dave4Guild Date: 12 Nov 02 - 03:15 PM I'll be there with Brenda. Its only a 10min bus ride from my place in Coventry (sorry, Gurney, I don't think the no 20 bus goes past your place!) Brenda is stewarding and I'm on the guest list, so we're looking forward to a grand weekend. I'm even doing a "Meet the artist" with Steve Tilston on Sat pm so that is something for me to think about. Does any-one know what you do at these things? Hope to meet up with fellow 'catters sometime, and Gurney I'll have a pint at 8.30pm sat, with Rod Felton at my side and we'll drink a toast to your health and old folk times in Coventry at The Cornerhouse. |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Noreen Date: 12 Nov 02 - 06:10 PM Maybe we'll get that sing together, Dave? I'm thinking of trekking down to Bedworth, if only to reprise the cosy (!) camping of last year in the scout hut.... Bacon butties were good though :0) |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Herga Kitty Date: 13 Nov 02 - 02:47 AM Dave I've done several "Meet the artists" at Bedworth - and the format varies depending on who the artists are! Roy Bailey just wanted to run it as a concert in roughly equal halves, others will do turn and turn about and chat to the audience. I suggest you have a word with Steve - also check out that neither of you are supposed to be appearing at a another spot which overlaps with the "Meet the artists" session (not unknown!). Kitty |

Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Emma B Date: 13 Nov 02 - 02:23 PM Ran into Pete Burnham in Leicester on Saturday while visiting friends, he said that he's running a session on Saturday afternoon with Shiela entitled "The Battle of the Sexes" and is looking for appropiate contibutions.So come on all you misogynists - we know where you live! |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: GUEST,MairSea Date: 14 Nov 02 - 04:20 PM The 'Battle of the Sexes' sounds very interesting. Will Mudcatters be wearing special insignia in order to be recognised (or not) as the case may be?? Red tulips, left side at dawn?? |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Snuffy Date: 14 Nov 02 - 07:09 PM 16.40 - 17.40 Meeting Rooms Battle of the Sexes (Andy Capp meets Miss Piggy) Pete and Shiela. Wear you badge with pride. WassaiL! V |

Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Snuffy Date: 15 Nov 02 - 02:19 PM Just got my booking confirmation and the following is on the back:
Anyone interested? WassaiL! V |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Dave4Guild Date: 15 Nov 02 - 06:48 PM I'm Helping to "run" a singaround at 7-8pm sat evening in the Arts Centre Coffee Bar (which also sells Beer!). All Mudcatters are, of course more than welcome to come along and we can turn it into anything we like!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: GUEST,Sarah Date: 16 Nov 02 - 03:59 AM I think I'm coming over with Toni Bunnell - maybe to accompany, not sure how it will pan out yet. Will have nyckelharpa and fiddle with me. No idea where I will be sleeping yet - indoor camping a distinct possibility. Cheers Sarah |

Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Snuffy Date: 17 Nov 02 - 06:41 PM Great, my neck is overdue a good workover. WassaiL! V |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Leadfingers Date: 17 Nov 02 - 08:07 PM Its a conspiracy.Again I am being paid to be elsewhere.Portsmouth on Saturday and the Cross flannell cherries on sunday so I wont be there at all. And I did hear you all cheering . Have a good one though. |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: GUEST,IanN Date: 18 Nov 02 - 12:20 PM I'm playing in the Arts Centre Coffee Bar on the Sat. afternoon. Not having been to Bedworth before can anyone tell me what it's like (the coffee Bar, not Bedworth!) & more importantly, is it near the afore mentioned Real Ale Bar. |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: John Routledge Date: 18 Nov 02 - 01:49 PM If my memory is correct the Coffee bar is the best performing venue AND it serves Real Ale!! |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: alanww Date: 18 Nov 02 - 02:25 PM Its smallish with a coffee/beer bar at the one end and people tend to drop in when they are in between concerts etc elsewhere but with a few stalwarts hanging on. I suppose a max of about 40 people, some of whom would like to sing as part of a singaround if at all possible please! What else do you want to know? "Twas on one April morning ...!" Alan |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Gillie Date: 18 Nov 02 - 03:03 PM Magician and I will b there Alanw watch your beard!! Gillie |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Tig Date: 18 Nov 02 - 05:26 PM Snuffy, whether you get your neck done depends on how my broken wing is holding out, though it's reasonable at the moment. I'm not allowed to do too much with it though. |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: GUEST,IanN Date: 19 Nov 02 - 03:32 AM Thanks Alan That's about all I wanted to know. I was a bit concerned that I wouldn't be able to get a pint! Is there a PA set up in there? My group, The Salt Town Poets, are hosting the poetry & story telling (which will also include some sing-along music) on the Sat. afto. Any Mudcatter's please come & say hello. Cheers, Ian. |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: alanww Date: 19 Nov 02 - 06:04 AM Suggest you ask the organisers about the PA - I don't remember. I certainly didn't sing with a PA; the room's not very big. (However, I suppose I would say, as I have a big voice!) "... I heard the small birds sing ..." Alan |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Snuffy Date: 19 Nov 02 - 08:50 AM PA should not be necessary in the coffee bar. Usually get a reasonable turnout for the Saturday storytelling segment. WassaiL! V |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 21 Nov 02 - 07:56 AM Would like to come. Can we sleep with you lot? Contacting organisers:-) |

|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Tig Date: 21 Nov 02 - 06:00 PM Which bit of indoor camping are you going in Jane? |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: IanN Date: 22 Nov 02 - 03:58 AM There are a few comments above about the Travel Inn. Is there anything wrong with it (other than having no bar!)? |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: the lemonade lady Date: 22 Nov 02 - 07:02 AM I hope you all have a lovely time, I feel like Cinderella! Rapsquillion are singing at the Christmas lights in Bishop's Castle that weekend. Sal |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 22 Nov 02 - 01:14 PM Don't know which bit we're in but we haven't requested the 'quiet' sector. |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 24 Nov 02 - 09:52 AM Where are the various indoor camping areas? |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Gillie Date: 24 Nov 02 - 02:38 PM Scout hut - noisy Red cross - quiet White Swan - family |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Snuffy Date: 24 Nov 02 - 06:21 PM There is a noisy and a not all that noisy room at the Scout Hut, but even the noisy one stopped singing about 3.30/4.00 last year. Wimps! WassaiL! V |

Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 25 Nov 02 - 12:44 PM Dib dib dib can I choose? My letter doesn't say where we are but I don't want to stop singing!! We are child free so certainly don't want to end up with someones elses! I don't know what time we expect to get there but I would like to set off straight after work and get there about 6.30ish. |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Noreen Date: 25 Nov 02 - 05:11 PM Scout Hut was the Shellbacks' home last year, Mme Duck, so those of us who are there this year will probably return there for old time's sake! I'll not get there til Sat pm though, so just the one night in the Scout Hut for me to enjoy. |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: RWJ Date: 25 Nov 02 - 05:31 PM Scout stopped earley cus only about 10 wanted to keep going the rest wanted to sleep I would have carried on but most had had enough % was on ther side its up to you this time to keep it going sing till dawn want to do it !!!! we will see |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 25 Nov 02 - 05:45 PM What's parking like? The map shows long stay car parks near the civic centre but not sure if that's best place. Where is the scout hut? |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: Noreen Date: 27 Nov 02 - 09:42 PM get there & you can't miss it, Mrs Duck (as I remember anyway...) (Hope there'll be a little place left for me in the Scout Hut for Saturday night.) |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: the lemonade lady Date: 21 Nov 03 - 07:53 AM It's the 29th and 30th November... is anyone interested? Here's some info I received as an Email: We (Bedworth Folk Festival) rely heavily on "Indoor Camping" having about 100 indoor campers as we are in November (just next week-end in fact, thanks for the opportunity to mention that!) not many people fancy tenting. We charge £3.00 for the week-end (i.e. 2 nights) with all the money going to the local scouts and St john Ambulance who kindly let us use their buildings for the week-end. We have previously also used a local youth centre, but council regulations eventually prevented us from using "overnight". We feel everyone wins with a decent contribution going to the organisations and no objections to the £3.00 charge for staying in the comfort of a heated building rather than a tent at this time of the year - I also understand that the "through the night" singarounds are also popular with some hardy types - fortunately there is a separate room for those insomniacs! Just thought someone might find it useful. sal |

Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: the lemonade lady Date: 21 Nov 03 - 07:55 AM I know it's actually 28th - 30th, but the link up there takes you to the up-to-date web site and yes I know we're now in 2003! I really haven't lost my marbles yet! Sal |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: fiddler Date: 21 Nov 03 - 08:49 AM Hmm.. I'm coming by landrover with tent on the roof - any suggestions - clean decent and helpful would be most appreciated.... A |
|
Subject: RE: Bedworth Folk Festival 29th Nov 2002 From: the lemonade lady Date: 21 Nov 03 - 03:02 PM Yea, park your pitch where the wind don't blow! Don't you have problems getting out of your tent in the morning with bleary eyes? Tumbling down the bonnet (hood for those across the pond), etc! Sal |
