Subject: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Nick Date: 25 Jul 04 - 08:08 PM All those who came before and all who didn't are welcome to come to: Blacksmiths Arms Farlington North Yorkshire England for the weekend of September 3 for a singaround - playing music - session - getting involved sort of thing. Nice pub in the middle of nowhere about 10 miles north of York. For those of you who came before it will be much like the last one APART FROM if we are going to survive the whole weekend 5am is out for the first night! We'll post a few pics of the last one to give you an idea soon. There is limited camping but a big carpark. More details soon - PM me if you want to know more but I'm sure we will post more here. Suffice it to say that the last one was fun. Hopefully the next will be even better |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Nick Date: 27 Jul 04 - 12:38 PM To give a taste of what our recent gathering was like I have posted a couple of pictures to give you a flavour of things. A few people you may recognise. As you'll see we were quite busy. Over the course of the evening there were something in the region of 30 people who performed either singly or together so there were few breaks between when we started at about 7.30 and when we finished at half past whatever. About 13 or 14 sang, the balance were instrumentalists. About a third of those there from where I was sitting... ... and a few more of them ... And there is still very minimal information as to where the pub is at Blacksmiths Arms, Farlington, North Yorkshire Hope that is some use. About a dozen have confirmed that they are coming so far so we have quite a lot of room left. Hope to hear from a few others soon. Let us know if it is of interest or if you need more information. There is plenty of space to park, room for campers to park and sleep overnight and limited space for tents (there were four last time). Let us know early if you do want to say. The intention is to start Friday night c.8pm and go through till c.1am so that we survive the rest rather than stay up till 5am and paralyse livers. Saturday lunch and BarBQ (if weather is half reasonable) and a more relaxed bit of playing and singing. Saturday evening much as Friday. There is food Friday and Saturday evenings which people who had it last time enjoyed I think (special spaghetti is my favourite). It's not mass catering so an idea of demand in advance would be helpful or the wait will be l-o-o-o-n-g. Still the beer is VERY cheap. And of the 700 pints gone through in the evening I would guess one or two were drank by the singers! |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Hand-Pulled Boy Date: 27 Jul 04 - 01:03 PM I thing I had a glass of wine as well. Or was it a bottle? There were no reliable witnesses. |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Sttaw Legend Date: 29 Jul 04 - 06:43 AM Nick, wonderful pictures, must have been at least half way through the cellar at that point reminds me of crime watch UK.... |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: el ted Date: 29 Jul 04 - 07:06 AM I think the bloke in the red t shirt is the cutest, don't you Dave? Be Buggered |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Les from Hull Date: 29 Jul 04 - 08:17 AM red t shirt? looks more like a girly pink to me. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: muppett Date: 29 Jul 04 - 10:47 AM OK El Ted you've sold it to me I'll come, if that's OK wi rest of you? |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: el ted Date: 29 Jul 04 - 11:15 AM That is fantastic news Muppett old fruit! We can sort the details out by PM's etc. You will fit right in, I suspect the 700pint record is about to be overtaken I think I feel a purple patch coming on! |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Sttaw Legend Date: 29 Jul 04 - 11:39 AM Ted, the tablets still haven't kicked in. If you feel a wet patch coming on, we don't want to know. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: el ted Date: 02 Aug 04 - 06:54 AM Yo dudes, Nick recorded the FarTington session that took place on the 16th last, and yesterday at Monk's he kindly gave me a copy (not had chance to hear it yet) of it all on CD. So I will circulate it amongst you all, for a small fee! |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: ossonflags Date: 02 Aug 04 - 10:26 AM can i have one? |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: el ted Date: 02 Aug 04 - 10:31 AM Certainly el Mick. I can sort that for tomorrow night. I had a quick wizz through the two CD's at dinnertime, and you will all be pleased to note that out of the 44 tracks, none of them are of me playing! Nick has expunged me from the records! It sounds like we had a bloody good night though! |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Nick Date: 02 Aug 04 - 10:49 AM Wrong, Ted! You are playing solo on one. (And you contribute to a few others with varying degrees of sobriety depending on the hour...) If I remember you didn't actually play solo that much during the evening. I did forget to turn it over every now and again (and couldn't get near it for a chunk of the evening when we got shifted out of the way) so I'm sure missed countless gems. Anyway you have your own cd from a previous visit! It's just something to remember the evening by. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Sttaw Legend Date: 02 Aug 04 - 12:23 PM Ted, you actually played tracks from "Les Voix de Toillet" which was received very positively at Farlington and also in the international music press. Nikolaj Uranisamus's repertoire includes masterworks such as Telemann's Suite in A minor and concerto in E minor for recorder and transverse flute. My personal favourites from your good self was Bach's Second and Fourth Brandenburg Concerto, and Vivlaid's "La Nuttes". I feel sure Nick will have captured these master pieces for ever. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Georgiansilver Date: 02 Aug 04 - 12:27 PM Sounds like it might be worth the trip. Best wishes. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: el ted Date: 02 Aug 04 - 12:34 PM It will be a rollocking weekend and no mistake GS! The layout of the pub and it's grounds are ideal for two days of song based mayhem. You will also find that the locals up there are as quaint and weird as you south bank, marsh dwelling herberts |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Nick Date: 02 Aug 04 - 12:47 PM Make him a copy of the cd Ted if you are going to see him and he will get an idea of what it's like. By the way, on cd2 there is a lovely intro to one of Maggie's songs where people are being a little rowdy and Mick's booming voice comes in with a 'shut up you buggers' - and everyone shuts up pretty swift. Shows what reasonable people we all are even when pissed. Be nice to meet you if you come GS |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: el ted Date: 03 Aug 04 - 10:30 AM Good man Mr Happy! If you need any more details etc, you can PM me or nick. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: el ted Date: 03 Aug 04 - 11:44 AM Bugger! After much button pushing on my Fisher Price computer, It would appear that I am not bright enough to copy the CD's! I will give the originals to Mick tonight, maybe he can sort it. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Nick Date: 03 Aug 04 - 12:15 PM This is what you do for the future, Ted. One way to do it anyway - 1 Open Windows Media Player and choose 'Copy from CD'. 2 Save it somewhere you can find it (probably My Documents/My Music/Unknown Artist). 3 Open the folder up, highlight everything and copy to playlist. 4 Windows Media Player Copy to CD. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Sweetfia Date: 03 Aug 04 - 01:30 PM Unfortunately i'm not going on holiday anymore cos it clashes with college, so i'll be there! Looking forward to it. Oh dad, just to remind you, i'll be in your care as of thursday 2nd/9th cos mum is in Poland or something but i'll prob be staying at Simons. |

When do I mett his parents etc etc...... ps nice to see you are coming too georgian, didn't get a chance to really chat with you lads the other night because the amplified accordians drowned us out! |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: The Beast of Farlington Date: 05 Aug 04 - 04:40 AM Just to get back to the topic El Ted....we had a very pleasant rehearsal at our regular Wednesday night slot last night. Do visit us again before 3 Spetember. And stop using that blo*dy bike race excuse! |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: el ted Date: 05 Aug 04 - 05:59 AM hola beast, I am free next wednesday, 18th Aug, so I was hoping to bring "The Hull Smoking club" over to FarTington on that day. Seven of us successfully travelled over to Barrow Swamp on tuesdat night in my trusty Fiat Scud, so You will see some of us next week. I will be seeing the rest of the smokers tonight, so I should have a vanfull. ps:Nahro Zargos is definitely coming on the 3rd sept. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Nick Date: 05 Aug 04 - 06:51 AM Couple more coming from this end on the 3rd too so our numbers are building. Great to see that Nahro is coming back - if Richard comes we should have an excellent quartet of violins (unless there are more coming). Any chance that Richard can persuade his friends from Hessle who got such a good review from the other night to come? All seems to be building up nicely. Look forward to seeing you when we see you next. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: GUEST,Richard Date: 05 Aug 04 - 07:53 AM Hello Nick, I am definitely planning on comming. I wouldn't miss it as the last one was extremely enjoyable! I'll do my best to persuade my friday night gang to come. The call themselves "Shifty Pig" so Heather and Hannah are " the Shifty Piglets". |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: el ted Date: 05 Aug 04 - 08:01 AM Good man richard, you can travel to and from with me, sophia and nahro if you need transport. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: GUEST,Richard Date: 05 Aug 04 - 08:48 AM Brilliant! Thank you very much El Ted. I will return your kindness with much beer. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Nick Date: 05 Aug 04 - 11:04 AM Great to hear, Richard. Hope to have another local violinist (as well as Donald) coming who is very good as well. There is a (small) chance that we might have some extra transport coming from your direction but I can confirm that nearer the time. May take a little strain off the fullest van in the world. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: ossonflags Date: 05 Aug 04 - 11:12 AM Richard and Ted, if you needa bit of space freeing up in the smokemobile I can take a couple in the old punchmobile on the third.It seats seven in comfort so if les and the fragrant one come I will have room for three? |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Les from Hull Date: 05 Aug 04 - 01:42 PM At the moment teh fragrant one is trying to swap her fragrant duties so that she can be free on the Saturday. Watch this space (well not this space, obviously, but hopefully a space a bit lower than this one). |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: el ted Date: 06 Aug 04 - 03:49 AM osson and Les, This is news of a most excellent fancy, if you take Les and Maggie, I have a few others queueing up that I will take instead. Ps: HULL SMOKING CLUB ANNOUNCEMENT - Trip to FarTington WEDNESDAY 11TH AUGUST, meet anywhere on CHANTS AVE 6PM. so far we have mick. richard. adam. still space for a few more. |

|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: GUEST,me Date: 10 Aug 04 - 03:57 PM Oh sweetfia you make a mans heart race! Just to look into your eyes gives a man palpitations. Your beauty is rare and you should have songs sung about you. Actually you aint a bad lookin lass but I said those things to get everyone puking......... |

|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: el ted Date: 11 Aug 04 - 08:47 AM uh? give in, I've lost the plot here. Tell me all about it tonight children. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Sttaw Legend Date: 11 Aug 04 - 10:05 AM "I've lost the plot here" Ted, at this point you should "make it up", very similar to the process civil engineers adopt when compiling estimates. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: GUEST Date: 11 Aug 04 - 11:39 AM This sounds like fun. I will be going to Towersey the Weekend before and I have the next week off. So I am looking for somewhere else to go Yippeeee. And my birthday is on August 28th. Cool. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: el ted Date: 11 Aug 04 - 12:22 PM Well said GUEST of most excellent fancy. It will be a great weekend of singing and general ribaldry. Come and laugh along with us at the locals ill-fitting smocks |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: The Beast of Farlington Date: 11 Aug 04 - 12:32 PM Right El Ted, you are in trouble for that last remark |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: el ted Date: 12 Aug 04 - 03:52 AM Good to see you ruffians again last night. I am pleased my new "Ted Baker" shirt impressed you all, and before you ask, NO you couldn't afford one! Mind you, even my brilliant shirt didn't stop me cocking up the introduction to "one more cup of coffee" did it! |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Sttaw Legend Date: 12 Aug 04 - 04:01 AM I wondered where that Ted Baker shirt had disappeared to, could you fasten all the buttons. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: el ted Date: 12 Aug 04 - 04:02 AM Yeah, it's a 38DD. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Nick Date: 12 Aug 04 - 06:11 AM And good to see you all again as usual - thanks for taking the trouble to come. Ted - thanks for playing for my son and showing him what proper guitar playing is about! (Steve Vai still rules though...) Good to see Richard again. On fine fiddling form. Enjoyed Richard and Donald playing a few things together especially the one with the playing in harmony. Very much looking forward to the 3rd Sept |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: ossonflags Date: 12 Aug 04 - 06:14 AM Glad you managed tio find Ted, Richard. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Sttaw Legend Date: 12 Aug 04 - 06:36 AM Even more jealous now, can't make the 3rd either, oh well....... |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: GUEST,Richard Date: 12 Aug 04 - 07:15 AM Thank you Ted for driving and to everyone else for the great music. I had a lovely evening - such a friendly atmosphere. El Ted sang "Come in" all the way home. I can't wait for the 3rd of september. Mick, I am very sorry to have woken you up. Thank you for being so nice about it! |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: The Beast of Farlington Date: 12 Aug 04 - 08:34 AM Richard I really enjoyed your fiddle playing. If you liked my songs you can find them at http://www.ic-musicmedia.com/artist_pages/artistpage.php?id=81428 |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Sweetfia Date: 12 Aug 04 - 10:36 AM Methinks some excellent fiddle playing. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Sweetfia Date: 12 Aug 04 - 10:57 AM Do you have to be a local to wear a smock? |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: GUEST,Richard Date: 12 Aug 04 - 11:10 AM Thank you Nick, Beast and Sweetfia. I am blushing and my head is swelling out of all proportion. I am trying, probably vainly, to reach the stellar talents of Oaklet. Such aspirations may elude me but I hope that I will soon experience wiping my behind on owls. I look forward to our next musical reunion! |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Nick Date: 12 Aug 04 - 12:34 PM Another decent recording - I'll see if I can do you another cd for when we see you with your bits on it. Haven't had the pleasure of hearing Oaklet who I guess must be pretty good then. Owls can be very vicious when riled. I'd be careful. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Georgiansilver Date: 12 Aug 04 - 05:46 PM Oaklets fiddle playing is well worthy of admiration....treats in store eh?? Best wishes. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: s6k Date: 12 Aug 04 - 07:20 PM it was a brilliant night and more than worth the 40 mile or so journey, and cant wait for the next one. beast - liked your songs... have got them from that link, they are brilliant! all in all, great stuff from everyone and i enjoyed joining in now and again. also = i really recommend to EVERYONE the back of El Ted's Van because = it is ace! i am considering getting a mortgage on it, and moving in. many thanks again, see you all next time! |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: el ted Date: 13 Aug 04 - 04:03 AM Aye, it's carted a lot of hippies hither and thither has that van! Last night's expedition to see Punch the Horse was well worth the effort of having to muck it out after you lot fall out the back! |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: The Beast of Farlington Date: 13 Aug 04 - 04:55 AM Thank you S6K - I eat anyone who DOESN'T like my songs |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: ossonflags Date: 14 Aug 04 - 04:46 AM We was glad you made the effort Ted!!Are you gonna be at whitby? |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Nick Date: 14 Aug 04 - 06:13 AM >>Oaklets fiddle playing is well worthy of admiration....treats in store eh?? Where does Oaklets play? Is he/she coming to our September bash? **** And for TED - any ideas of numbers at the moment who are coming from away so that I can keep Ben informed? There at least a dozen definites who are coming locally but probably more. Any idea how many are in tents? The car park will no doubt soak up as many thousands as want to come but just to get an idea. |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: GUEST,Me Date: 15 Aug 04 - 08:05 AM Can't wait to see you again you gorgeous creature. Yes you,you know who I am talkin aboot. |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Leadfingers Date: 15 Aug 04 - 08:21 AM I thought I actually had a free weekend and was seriously considering trecking up to the frozen North and dragging the session down to my level , but we have a medieval banquets twenty minutes down the road on Saturday , so you are saved !! See some of you in the barn at Towersesy on Sunday though , I hope . |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: el ted Date: 16 Aug 04 - 03:34 AM Yo mick, Yep, We will be in and around whitby for the festival, starting with the cider spillers singaround at THE ARNCLIFFE ARMS, GLAISDALE, SUNDAY 22ND AUG. I reckon 20 odd coming up from Hull nick, not all on the friday though, so it's going to be a corker! You are going to miss a good one Leadfingers me old sausage! Flamenco, the true path! |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Sttaw Legend Date: 16 Aug 04 - 04:08 AM Good morning all, I'm seeing bloody red again..... |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: GUEST,Richard Date: 16 Aug 04 - 08:58 AM Hello, I will be bringing my tent for the 3rd weekend. Nick, Oaklet tends to spend much of his time tending whelks and in Best Western Hotels in Darlington. I last saw him at Brigg Fiddle Festival. A picture of him can be found at the following page: http://www.carasmusic.com/ Notice his short and bowed legs. This is an evolutionary adaptation, common in the whelk-farming community on the south bank of the Humber, which enables him to spend hours riding a Lincolnshire dwarf mud pony on which he traverses the treacherous mudflats of the Humber fiddling to his whelks. His devotion to the latter, may mean that only the prospect of spectacular excitment and debauchery will lure him to Farlington. |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Hand-Pulled Boy Date: 17 Aug 04 - 09:49 PM Purple was the start of the decline of Hull FC in the mid-eighties. Thankfully that era has passed and it's now pure black and white. |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Grateful Ted Date: 24 Aug 04 - 03:59 AM Hey dudes, how's it hanging man? Some of you may remember me as a square uncool flamenco player. Well now I am hip and swinging! How? My new Gibson 180 sonex custom electric AND the pentatonic scale. Man you can groove for hours just laying that scale on your axe, and if you play it really, really fast with a plectrum, people call you a "rock god" Blues is the true path man, it's a piece of p##s, Music is for squares!!!! Must fly man, there's a happening in Pearson Park that I want to check out. Blues, the true path. |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: The Beast of Farlington Date: 24 Aug 04 - 05:49 AM You've finally seen the light Grateful Ted...now you can catch up with the rest of us |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: s6k Date: 24 Aug 04 - 07:03 AM blues is ace, but do not stray from the flamenco path! i know the 5 shapes of the pentatonic scale (yes theres 5) so i can show you them if you like, and how to get a blues backing track going so you can play over it with the scale... |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Grateful Ted Date: 24 Aug 04 - 11:36 AM Actually, if you turn the tone pots off, I can get a nice semi- acoustic sound. Ideal for playing Joe Pass stuff. hmmmmm jazz, nice, the true path |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: GUEST,el ted Date: 27 Aug 04 - 03:19 AM What's the point of challenging a peak? It's not going to fight back is it? What do you do to challenge a peak, wave a stick at it or something? |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Georgiansilver Date: 27 Aug 04 - 03:41 AM Take one group of mixed age range men.

Snowdon in Wales.....Carrantouhill near Killarney in S/Ireland....Sleive Donard near Belfast in N/Ireland...Ben Nevis in Scottyland...then Scafell Pike in Engyland...in 50 hours total including travelling time..little sleep..We did it in 48.5 hrs.

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: wigan Date: 27 Aug 04 - 02:06 PM grateful ted,can't pm you. get a message saying your membership is inactive. i will require 2 camping spaces,as mny friend and her daughter are coming. perhaps chris will allow daughter to share if they both want to. a 14yr old daughter may want to go to bed much earlier than christine. she knows chris as she has slept at her house before,but went to bed at around 11pm which is far too early for chris. |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Nick Date: 30 Aug 04 - 09:53 PM Sorry to be boring here and hugely looking forward to next weekend but could we touch base for a second? How many tents? Do people want to eat? Who is actually coming? Just a rough idea on friday/saturday would help. Just being fair to Ben; he deserves to know.

|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Nick Date: 30 Aug 04 - 10:00 PM wigan - Everyone who wants to sing always has the chance to sing at Farlington - the only person who could prevent that is oneself. You may only get one turn per night if it is that busy but noone will ever stop you (but we'll encourage you next time around if you miss it first time...) |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: GUEST,Richard Date: 31 Aug 04 - 07:33 AM Hello All, Sorry for my silence. I have been galivanting, without my fiddle, which is being modified to include spoiler and alloy tuning pegs. I have also discovered that the streets of London are not paved with gold. I am looking forwards to friday very much. I hope to meet Super Ted et al. on Chants Ave as I will be coming directly from my second home, the university. I will be there between 5:45 and 6pm. (I hope that this is ok with you Ted). For Ben's info, I indend to camp. I have just had an epiphany (without anasthetic), during which I have discovered a method for calulating the selection coefficient in the Pantophysin gene of North Sea cod. My life is very exciting. See you all on friday. Richard. |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Nick Date: 31 Aug 04 - 11:08 AM It must be the lure of the 3rd World Spoon Playing Championship. Lynne is searching the cutlery drawers as we speak to see if we have a chance of tempting Les and Maggie away. Perhaps we could have the Farlington Spoon Playing Competition and not invite anyone from the third world as a gesture and so's we don't clash? Seems a long way to come for all these third world people - I wonder who's funding it as it must be jolly expensive. |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Nick Date: 04 Sep 04 - 09:58 PM Well thanks all for coming and making it a great weekend. I have some wonderful memories. Before I forget - Thanks to: Ben and Sharon for being the folk-friendly hosts from heaven (as well as being really special people for the last few years to us locals - they will be sorely missed by EVERYONE) Everyone who came and participated and gave and shared - wonderful. Pip for his song - we'll get it right in time. Merry, Christine and everyone else who made Lynne the happiest person in the world singing beautiful harmonies all afternoon. Desperately need someone local to fill that gap! Mick for being Mick. :) Mary for singing even though there more than 6 people in the room. The violinists (Donald and Richard) for playing beautifully and tastefully. Carol for requesting me to sing a song (nobody's ever done THAT before) and then delicately telling me I had sang it to a different tune. And also for a very risque song... Ted for being a top barman (I have the pictures) and NOT managing to divert Zander from his true path - somewhere between Joe Satriani and jazz (though you did try in those few short minutes!) Maggie and Les. Especially Maggie for buying that strange star shaped thing that we gave to the jumble sale this morning. And I could go on and on. Nice memories. Hangover tomorrow. Thanks all - see you at the next somewhere. |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Carol Date: 06 Sep 04 - 04:51 AM Nick anything that you sing by Richard Thompson would be great for me. Thanks to everyone for a great weekend. Hope to see some of them at Denaby on the 17th |

Alltogetrher everything about the whole weekend was really nice, especially the sunday dinner in the pub in york on the way home, big massive dinner, really nice. |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: The Beast of Farlington Date: 06 Sep 04 - 11:36 AM The Beast thanks Sir jOhn of Hull and was honoured to meet him...rather than eat him. Petty intercounty insults can now resume |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 06 Sep 04 - 11:42 AM Is alltogether one word or to? anyway=the sunday dinner was massive, and only Richard finished it all up [he's a growing lad! Les from Hull took his leftovers home for his goldfish. |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Paco Rabanne Date: 06 Sep 04 - 11:49 AM Good afternoon chaps. one thing about Les that fascinates me, is his HAIR! After two days sleeping rough, my hair looked like I had poured chip oil on my head, but Les's hair still looked like a bloody golden retriever! How does he do it? Does he wear a hairnet to bed? I think we should be told! |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: The Beast of Farlington Date: 06 Sep 04 - 12:02 PM El Ted's hair looked like that BEFORE he slept rough |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Les from Hull Date: 07 Sep 04 - 03:05 PM Yes thanks to everyone for a great week-end. Maggie really likes her strange star-shaped thing, Nick. I'll have some haircare advice for you next time I see you, Ted. Although I should point out that my personal hair stylist grooms my luxurious thatch with something with 'Black and Decker' inscribed on it. |

Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: ossonflags Date: 13 Sep 04 - 03:58 AM Belated thanks to Nick,Ben, The Beast and everyone at Farlington who made our visit a weekend to remember.When is the next one? |
|
Subject: RE: Blacksmiths Arms nr York Sept 3 w/end From: Nick Date: 13 Sep 04 - 06:12 AM Who knows on the next one, I'm afraid. We'd love to do one but... Ben and Sharon are leaving the pub on the 28th September and so it will very much depend on who comes in next and what happens to the pub. Hopefully we will keep our Wednesday meets going but we will see. If the worst comes to the worst we will no doubt find somewhere else. Whether the incoming person will be up for camping weekends we will see. So at the moment we only know that we are doing the following things - Wednesday 15th Sept - Usual singaround Friday 17th Sept - Last Night's Fun appearing. No doubt packed out as they were hugely popular last time and played half way through the night! Wednesday 22nd Sept - Last definite singaround with local duo also playing two sessions. No doubt all Ben's favourites played! After that we will see what happens. Hopefully the new person in will be sympathetic to music and realise that it is a good contribution to the pub (atmosphere as well as financial) but that is a bit in the lap of the gods. |
