Hello all,
thought I'd get the ball rolling this year and start the thread. The website www.miskinfolk.co.uk is updated at last. Emails have gone out to most of our regular guests and as they reply their names will be added to the confirmed guest list. Eyelander and I have not had a very festivally year unfortunately, but we are now almost back in full swing. We intend to be at Mudgather at Banbury, see you all there?

We'll be arriving sometime on Saturday afternoon - keep us a decent camping space - as National Conference this year has had to be changed to the Wed, Thurs Fri and sat at the start of Miskin, as opposed to me zipping off on Sunday.

Elizabeth and I plan to be there.

In fact we will be in Wales for the whole of the week before. Sussexcarole and Cranedrivers nuptuals and then a few days with Gervase and Mary-Jane.

See you there (all being well)

Yes, as reported earlier, SussexCarole and I are getting married "A week before Easter" and will still be celebriated by Miskin. We've just starting preparing the Sloe Gin for the wedding toast. It's "open invite" to anyone who'd like to join us at Llangennith village hall on Saturday 8th April, and we'll arrange evening singarounds throughout the week for those who are staying on for Miskin. Watch for a thread giving all details later, when we have some idea what we're doing.

All the best,
Andrew

Celebrating Carole & Andrew's nuptuals would be Fab, will do some planning. Watch out South Wales, looks like there'll be an invasion!

Just looking again at the site & the dates 14-17 April.
Anyone arriving in S.Wales during the preceding week should consider a visit to the BBC Club folk night which is held 2nd Tuesday of each month (usually!). I'll confirm closer to the time.

CHEERS

Mary,
The BBC Folk Club doesn't advertise by agreement between Frank Hennessy and the Social Club (Nigel will fill in the detail I'm sure) so no web links. It's an anything goes club, and I know that you and Anahata will be made very welcome, as would any visiting singer. Frank and the Hennessy's host it and top and tail the evening.
It doesn't come across on his radio show, but Frank is a very entertaining host, seemingly improvising hilarious stories on the spot, sparking off from a previous song or any minor occurence.
Don't forget there's also Gower Folk club on Sunday, Llantrisant on Wednesday and Newport on Thursday. And we'll still have enough energy for 4 days of Miskin.

It's a shame Miskin always clashes with the Gosport & Fareham Festival at Easter as I always go to the latter.

Perhaps someone could split Easter in two so I can attend both?

Date: 26 Sep 05 - 05:38 AM

From what I gather, Gosport and Fareham must be a very different festival from Miskin.

Mary and I wrote to them recently to see if there was any chance of a booking and we got a very curt "we're only looking for NAMES" type of reply.

(that was before we knew we'd be at Miskin the same weekend, or we probably woudn't have even bothered)

With any luck (and some cunning persuation to the financial dept aka 'the other ½') I should be able to make it (I've printed of the form already!!!).

If all goes to plan it will be great to see you both again Andy and Jillie.

Hopefully I will get a song in or two ;p

Much Luv

yus Dave, I have three computers here that variously and without notice may or may not co-operate. I often have to rely on mail2web to get my emails though. I also have no newsgroup access due to an ongoing problem with Wight cable. Which reminds me I put an appeal on a new thread last night for information about a fundraiser. This is a re enactment of Kemps Morris dance from, I think Cantebury to Norwich, over Easter, to raise money for a medical charity. I need to find out more about this.
Cheers Dave, and all.
