Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: GUEST,Bill Gardner Date: 01 May 05 - 01:24 PM I've got a new tent. Can't wait. I had such a good time when I went a couple of years ago. |

Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: GUEST,Midnight Rambler Date: 10 May 05 - 07:52 PM Best pissup on the planet |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: Dave Bryant Date: 11 May 05 - 08:49 AM The beer "Knockers" has been brewed (O.G. 1.056 - I reckon it'll come out at about 5.4%abv). I'm just wating for DIPSODEB'S husband Pat to bring the Pressure Cask round tonight so I can hand it over for conditioning. Linda's planning to have an "Awning Raising" ceremony so that we can try out that bit of the new caravan. Midnight Rambler - the latest edition of the "The Hitchiker's Guide to Galaxy" describes it as "the third best piss-up in the galaxy", but the two which beat it are noted as being fatal to all participants ! - mind you this picture of Richard Bridge proves that it's not that far behind ! |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: Richard Bridge Date: 11 May 05 - 06:22 PM Something funny about that link Dave, or is that the point? |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: Dave Bryant Date: 12 May 05 - 07:08 AM The actual link is to http://www.freewebs.com/knockholt/Sleepy.jpg It seems to work OK after I've been into the Folkmob ->What's On -> Knockholt page - it's the last picure on that page. Try this link to get into the page - I haven't been through all the hmtl to see how the site works. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: woodsie Date: 12 May 05 - 10:36 AM The knockholt page is a seperate site from the folkmob one. It is a freebie, hence the banner ad. Pat says that he has received the beer ok. Debbie is just worried that he make drink it all before we get there! |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: mindblaster Date: 12 May 05 - 07:25 PM Sounds like a nice gig. Can I bring my PA? |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: Richard Bridge Date: 12 May 05 - 07:45 PM Only if it will fit on the bonfire |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: woodsie Date: 13 May 05 - 09:34 AM have a listen to Keith Ferris singing "Come Ye All To Knockholt" here Come Ye All To Knockholt |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: Sliding Down The Bannister At My Auntie's House Date: 13 May 05 - 12:46 PM Great song - will this Keith Ferris be there? |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: GUEST Date: 14 May 05 - 07:24 AM Like the songs. Will try and get there. Which state is it in? |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: My guru always said Date: 15 May 05 - 04:33 AM Knockholt is in Kent, UK. But people there will be in various states during the event *grin* Unfortunately I'll miss this Again as it clashes with Alcester FF. Bu**er!! |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: GUEST,Chinaman Date: 15 May 05 - 04:38 AM Is this an open invitaion or just a closed club? I ask because, the last event I went to, nobody would talk to me, they all huddled together at one end of the field and I was at the other. When I approached, they would shout "F**k off you slanty eyed chink!" How I would love to join some friendly folky type of people for fun & drink. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: woodsie Date: 15 May 05 - 08:16 AM You'll find our folkmob a friendly bunch and we'll certainly try and make you feel welcome. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: woodsie Date: 18 May 05 - 12:09 PM refresh |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: mindblaster Date: 20 May 05 - 05:03 AM What's the cost? |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: Richard Bridge Date: 20 May 05 - 05:52 AM Very cheap unless you decide to buy one of the sheep an expensive necklace (or unless you add the average cost of booze consumed) |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: GUEST,The Barden of England at work Date: 20 May 05 - 10:10 AM Chosen the weekwnd of my 60th birthday - damn and blast. But - - - my party is on Friday night as the 17th. is my birthday, so I may well come down and pitch a tent on Saturday if I'm not too hung over and feeling sorry for myself becoming an old sod! John Barden |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: woodsie Date: 20 May 05 - 10:59 AM John you would be very welcome. A bit of quality. You would certainly be among friends. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: GUEST,terry. e Date: 20 May 05 - 04:11 PM see you there folk mobbers |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: GUEST Date: 23 May 05 - 03:27 AM Is that Terry Evans? - If so bring your guitar and harmonica! |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: Dave Bryant Date: 23 May 05 - 09:45 AM If anyone needs a tent, LIDL's are doing a great looking Eurohike style one for £25, but as with most of these item's they're usually ony around for a week or so. There's also a much bigger version (which should accommodate at least half a dozen sheep) for about £80. Mindblaster, the only cost is for camping (mainly to cover the cost of the Portaloos) and that's only £4 per unit (ie tent caravan etc) per night. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: Dave Bryant Date: 23 May 05 - 11:36 AM Chinaman - are you sure that the crowd huddling together at the end of the field didn't actually say Baaaaaaaaa ? |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: melodeon king Date: 24 May 05 - 04:45 AM I went to this a couple of years ago. I had a really great time. I met Dave & woodsie and we played around this amazing bonfire until 9 am the following morning. I'll try and make it Thursday night. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: GUEST,Phelpsie Date: 24 May 05 - 12:58 PM There's a nice pub nearby, The Tally Ho they do a great steak 'n ale pie. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: GUEST,woodsie Date: 25 May 05 - 12:11 PM Is that THE Phelpsie? |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: Richard Bridge Date: 27 May 05 - 09:55 AM Refresh |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: Dave Bryant Date: 27 May 05 - 10:02 AM I thought the Phelpsie was Fisheye. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: GUEST,woodsie Date: 28 May 05 - 01:29 AM No, the eye of a cod is richard phipps! |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: Sliding Down The Bannister At My Auntie's House Date: 28 May 05 - 01:40 AM Drinking with Brian Bruce last night. He can't make it this year. It will be strange in that field without him and his taylors. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: GUEST Date: 28 May 05 - 12:11 PM I won't miss him! |

Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: Bo Date: 29 May 05 - 07:21 AM Just a little note from the Wild West to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY in advance to Mr Barden. I'm very sorry that I will not be there but the journey would be impossible. I will be thinking of you all. Have a great time and best wishes to all who can still remember me. Things down here are not as active as they once were and publicity is a noghtmare. On the evening of 22nd May I found out, accidently, that there had been a 5 day folk festival in Plymouth (17 miles away) and it had just finished. There was no publicity that reached me and I work in a music venue!!! I am even more miffed to find that I missed Mrs Ackroyd !!!! |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: melodeon king Date: 30 May 05 - 06:01 AM Won't be able to make it 'til saturday - keep the tequila on ice! |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: GUEST,Carpet Bagger Date: 01 Jun 05 - 09:32 AM I'll be bringing my 'ol banjo folks! |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: Dave Bryant Date: 02 Jun 05 - 03:24 AM Bo, I'm sure that you could make it back from the west country if you really tried - it's just your sort of event ! If not, are you expecting to make Tenterden this year ? - you ought to keep some connections with your old county. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: GUEST,The Barden of England at work Date: 02 Jun 05 - 03:48 AM Hi Bo - thanks for the birthday greetings. Look forward to seeing you at Tenterden. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: GUEST,Quadrangle Date: 02 Jun 05 - 08:51 AM Yep |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: woodsie Date: 02 Jun 05 - 11:55 AM Graham is getting another barrel of beer! So with that + Dave's "Knockers" we will have abot 80 pints of ale to be consumed! |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: Bo Date: 02 Jun 05 - 01:50 PM I am booked for Tenterden this year (as usual!) and I am really looking forward to it. It seems that Ashley Hutchins has approved of me doing his sound. You may remember the Rainbow Chasers at Smedleys memorial last year. My work here is "tourism" and getting time off at this part of the year would be impossible. I do wish you all a great time. Give my regards to Pigs Ear also. I will be starting a club here in September. It will be anounced via this message board and all the usual sources. Stay in touch and I may be in a position to offer a guest spot if you can bring 50 fans with you. Ha ha Bo |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: Richard Bridge Date: 02 Jun 05 - 02:10 PM Really looking forward to it. Have borrowed a caravan and so far have spent a lot more on fixing it it than hiring one would have cost!! May have Jeff and Margs with me. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: GUEST Date: 02 Jun 05 - 06:55 PM Excellent! |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: melodeon king Date: 03 Jun 05 - 06:59 AM I'm really looking forward to this! It's so cool to sit in a field amongst good company with the 'ol squeezebox, a pint of ale and not a care in the world. I'll be at The Tally Ho at about middsy Friday - see y'all there! |
Subject: RE: Knockholt mini-fest summer 2005 Kent UK From: Dave Bryant Date: 03 Jun 05 - 07:48 AM Linda and I should be bringing the caravan down on the Thursday night. Hartley Morris will be dancing in the vicinity that evening at: 8.30pm The Harrow, Knockholt 9.30pm The Bricklayer's Arms, Chipstead. When we've sited the 'van we are planning to go and join them - it will probably be at the second venue which is a lovely Folk-friendly Shep's pub and I'm sure that there will be some singing when Hartley have finished dancing. If any others fancy the trip, I'm sure Linda will have a few spare seats. Graham is getting another barrel of beer! So with that + Dave's "Knockers" we will have abot 80 pints of ale to be consumed! - perhaps we should invite Alcoholics Anonymous to send a representative ! |
