21 Feb 08 - 01:12 PM (#2268698) Subject: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener After the success of the sessions held on prior years at Faldingworth in Lincolnshire, the Chairman of Faldingworth Memorial Hall asked me if it was possible to have another one on Saturday June 14th 2008. The session would be in the Village Hall from 1:00pm to 5:00pm and there would be a BBQ outside and a bar. The hall can hold 100 people, so plenty of room for a mammoth session :-) It would be really nice if we can get this up and running. Any takers? We would have to stop at 5 as we have a concert in the evening with Allan Taylor and will need to prepare for that. Tickets can be reserved in advance for that - tickets £7. Look forward to hearing from you session players. Incidentally the villagers really enjoyed the past ones. Cheers Les Worrall http://www.faldingworthlive.co.uk |

So does that mean that you & Mick will partake in the session or just chill out? Dáithí I can take that as a yes then! Now where is Banjo Flower, Doug Chadwick, 12 String Growler, Lawrie, Whacko Jacko, Oakley, Mr & Mrs Sooz, Twangy, Rockhen and anybody else who would like to be involved? I have found some of them Some photo's So their is no confusion, the scareecrow event will NOT be on and it will be in the village hall, not Brownlow's. |

Just listening to Cara Dillon & Sam Lakeman doing it. Gets the hairs on the back of my neck standing up. Cheers Les |

23 Feb 08 - 08:21 AM (#2270241) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener ooh eerr Twangy as well :-) You will be welcome. Getting almost like a Mudcatter session. |

You dont want to get a rep for upstaging the main acts Bet you are hard to follow. Blackdiamond I hope they let us newbies get a look in I will struggle like billyoh the speed these old hands get up too. But they were a very pleasent bunch and most of them looked quite kind. Before anyone asks Les can we have a piano? |
23 Feb 08 - 12:27 PM (#2270399) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener Lin Of course you can, but am not sure what the level of musicians will be. It was very good last time. Maybe when we get things a bit more organised, it may be possible to do soemthing for all levels. Les |
23 Feb 08 - 12:28 PM (#2270402) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener How will you get the piano there Tim? |
23 Feb 08 - 04:34 PM (#2270528) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Tim Leaning Well If I not carefull I will be hiding it in one of my body cavities. LOL I heard from Rockhen her computer playing up so thought Hmmmm I think if she could go she would prefer to play piano so I asked. |

24 Feb 08 - 03:19 PM (#2271194) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener Whats wrong with Rockhen playing melodeon? |
24 Feb 08 - 03:42 PM (#2271216) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rockhen I don't play it and I far prefer my piano to the piano accordion that I do play, as I am much better on the piano. But...bring my electric piano? yeah right, I know there is a piano at Faldingworth but it isn't that great...erm...am I being unfair at assuming there may now follow a silent tumbleweed moment.............................? |
24 Feb 08 - 03:58 PM (#2271238) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener Now when was the last time you came to Faldingworth Rockhen? The piano is no longer - it is extinct - as dead as a parrot. Look at the photo's of Jez & Kate and you will see that the piano has been replaced with the PA cupboards No Piano :-) Apologies. You are correct it is the piano Accordian you play - just testing you :-) hrummppphhh. Is it Jacqui that plays the melodeon? I guess all I can say, is let me sort out who will be the master of ceremonies and we can try and see if it is possible. You know I don't have a problem with piano. A touch of Jerry Lee Lewis or Little Richard would go down great :-) |
24 Feb 08 - 06:05 PM (#2271334) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rockhen Jacqui plays concertina, Villan. I should have remembered re the piano as I did know it had gone when the new stage and PA arrived. I do know you don't have a problem with piano. I have been playing Ray Charles and Jerry Lee tonight with the GBs as it happens, along with some rusty (the playing, not the instrument!) saxophone! There are a few months before the session anyway. My gripe is not with you re using my electric piano, Villan, so apologies in return...it is elsewhere that I am met with negativity re electric piano being considered acceptable to be played as a replacement for a traditional one. All the best for the session and will check the thread again! |
24 Feb 08 - 06:51 PM (#2271373) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rockhen PS If anyone has strong feelings either way, about my post above, please PM me as I feel it is not the subject of the thread, so should probably be discussed elsewhere. I wish all who are involved with organising and/or those who go to the session, all the best. Let the thread continue re the original subject, as intended, lol! |
25 Feb 08 - 03:23 AM (#2271617) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener >>Jacqui plays concertina<< Well there you go, I could have sworn that one of you played melodeon. Les gets his coat and gives the optician a visit. |
25 Feb 08 - 08:07 AM (#2271700) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener You are very welcome to join the session with your piano Rockhen. So look forward to seeing you and you will be made very welcome. Is Jacqui going to come along and play her concertina? |
25 Feb 08 - 08:33 AM (#2271710) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener Too many very welcomes in the last thread but you are very welcome :-) |
25 Feb 08 - 12:01 PM (#2271909) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rockhen The chance to play and the chance to hear Allan Taylor on the same day...sounds great to me, what are you cooking for tea, Villan?! lol Will ask Jacqui re her concertina, whistles etc, thanks |
25 Feb 08 - 12:06 PM (#2271914) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rockhen I DID read the whole thread honest but recent removal of wisdom teeth and all that.....yes, we can have BBQ for our tea, I know you posted that at the start, I know, I know, sorrry sorrrrrry sorrrrrry! |
25 Feb 08 - 12:45 PM (#2271939) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener Don't forget to reserve those tickets early Rockhen. Tickets go quickly. Dave is your chef, so you should get a good BBQ :-) |
25 Feb 08 - 01:31 PM (#2271993) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Tim Leaning BMW I wasnt suggesting you do just that you could. Its a compliment! |
25 Feb 08 - 01:32 PM (#2271994) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener Well he was bloody good last Saturday Tim. I am saying no more than that. |
25 Feb 08 - 02:15 PM (#2272053) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Tim Leaning Exactly! He should be out there headlining realy. Hang on though I like hearing him for nowt at Faldingworth and the other venues he graces. Second thoughts Keep him cheap! |
25 Feb 08 - 02:26 PM (#2272066) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener Well Tim, you can hear him when he is support for John Conolly, Bill Whaley & Dave Fletcher in September :-) Gert those nightshifts sorted :-) |

04 Mar 08 - 03:09 AM (#2278959) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener The list builds slowly. However there appears to be enough interest to make it happen, so can those that would like to be part of it, please put it in your diary. Looking forward to it already. Faldingworth Mudgather. |
04 Mar 08 - 08:09 AM (#2279111) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Backwoodsman Relax Les. It will happen. Sessions are informal gatherings. You don't book musicians and you certainly don't book the audience! Take a Chill-Pill, man! :-) |
04 Mar 08 - 08:36 AM (#2279116) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener Not trying to do that John. Just seeing whether there was an interest. Its in the diary and will happen, whoever wants to come along. I am actually doing this on bahalf and at the request of Dave Longden, not myself. It has nothing to do with the concert in the evening. Its more to do with the old scarecrow event that doesn't happen any more and the fact that the villagers enjoyed the previous sessions. Trust me for trying to help eh. i am chilled. :-) |
04 Mar 08 - 08:58 AM (#2279129) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Tim Leaning Errrr was the scarecrow thing too popular or too much to organise? We went a couple of times with the grandbrat and it was lovely day out just for that and then there was great music to listen to as well. |
04 Mar 08 - 09:16 AM (#2279142) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener The people that were in charge of it, just became too old to handle it anymore and unfortunately, as is often the case, nobody around to pick up the pieces and run with it. So yes, too popular and too much to organise Tim. There are signs of new people taking an interest in the Memorial Hall, but it has to be seen if they are willing to take on such an onerous responsibilty. What is a shame, was that the money they made went towards helping the churches and Memorial Hall to keep their heads above water. The only thing that the Memorial Hall makes anything on now is the concerts. What they made in those 2 weeks of the scarecrow event where they had thousands of people visiting the village was generally sufficient to maintain the above buildings. I would imagine, that if the concerts didn't go ahead, you could kiss goodbye to the Memorial Hall to some extent. Even the Post Office has closed. Got the makings of a song me thinks. |
07 Apr 08 - 03:16 PM (#2309354) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener Liam Robinson will be the Master of Ceremonies. He will cater for slow sessions and more advanced, so all are welcome (piano's included :-)). If anybody wants to contact him, please PM me and I will give you his telephone number. |
07 Apr 08 - 03:23 PM (#2309361) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Tim Leaning Sounds brilliant mate I would love to come and have a go at a slow thingy. I cant commit to it for awhile though cos offff W! But I know it will be splendiferous and so much fun to be part of and realy will try to be there. |
08 Apr 08 - 11:07 AM (#2310095) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener Work on it Tim :-) |
19 Apr 08 - 08:11 AM (#2319949) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rockhen I am not a regular session player, although I have been to one or two. As it is not a regular established session, could Liam suggest maybe a handful of tunes, or pairs or tunes that could be included within the session? Including the key and even suggestions as to the version, (a link to the notes and/or sound file would be fantastic!)It would mean that those who do not know many or even, any, tunes, could learn them before and join in with a few, at least. I accept that this is maybe not the norm, but, I think it would involve more people and add to the session. It is just a suggestion... |
19 Apr 08 - 08:21 AM (#2319951) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener Blimey thats a very good suggestion Rockhen |
19 Apr 08 - 09:44 AM (#2319988) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Tim Leaning Unfortunatly we wont be coming How sad Still am sure there will be loads there so have fun |
19 Apr 08 - 11:35 AM (#2320050) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener How do you know that already Tim? Are you on holiday or working? |
19 Apr 08 - 12:11 PM (#2320064) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Bloke in the Corner I expect to be there, barring unforeseen things. I enjoyed myself last time, and it's always good to play with new musicians. For Rockhen, I reckon pretty much any traditional tune will be ok, jigs, reels, waltzes, etc. and they even let old gits like me sing the odd song...ok, don't say it, all my songs sound odd when I sing them... Regards Lawrie |
19 Apr 08 - 12:15 PM (#2320068) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Tim Leaning Working amongst other things mate Looking forward to the concert though got cover arranged for that. |

19 Apr 08 - 01:06 PM (#2320105) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener Good to see that you will be there Lawrie (all being well). Tim, glad to see you still want your tickets for the Allan Taylor Concert on the evening reserved. So what would be 6 good tunes, that less savvy session players could learn in time for the event, Lawrie (or anybody else) ? |
19 Apr 08 - 02:37 PM (#2320178) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Backwoodsman Can another bloody singer come Les? |
19 Apr 08 - 02:51 PM (#2320193) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Georgiansilver If Bloke is singing "Ye Jacobites" and Rockhen will be there...you won't keep me away!!!!! |
19 Apr 08 - 03:35 PM (#2320219) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener You know you can BWM (can you wash the blood off first though :-)) What about a suggestion of 6 tunes that everybody could learn then? |
19 Apr 08 - 03:40 PM (#2320222) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Tim Leaning Huh? |
19 Apr 08 - 04:08 PM (#2320237) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener Huh indeed Tim. I have reserved your tickets for George Papavgeris & Duncan McFarlane with Anne Brivonese on Saturday May 17th. Just thought I could talk you into seeing Allan Taylor as well :-) You just go and do your work and don't worry as we will have a super time listening to Allan. :-) See you on May 17th Les |
22 Apr 08 - 06:58 AM (#2322397) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rockhen Just realised that Bloke in the corner could be the man with the most harmonicas ever who used to play at Barton when we went. Hello, if so, Bloke in the Corner, long time no see! Villan, hope your gig with George goes well. He is a great performer and has some lovely songs. Sorry we can't make it but I know it will be a good gig. Looking forward to Allan Taylor. I love his songs. |
23 Apr 08 - 06:32 AM (#2323440) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener Thanks Rockhen. By the way, Liam is going to send me 8 tunes that he will include over the afternoon, together with chords. So anybody wanting the chords etc, can let me know by pm what their e-mail address is , and I will send them to you. I don't know how to get them onto Mudcat. |
23 Apr 08 - 06:34 AM (#2323444) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Georgiansilver So Rockhen..we won't be hearing that lovely voice of yours...shame! |
24 Apr 08 - 12:25 PM (#2324415) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rockhen Ta for the compliment, GS, when did you last get your hearing tested, lol?! I am hoping to make the session but can't make George's gig, unfortunately. He does some brilliant songs. Ta, Villan, re the tunes. Would like the files. I know quite a few tunes but am always keen to learn new ones. |
24 Apr 08 - 04:11 PM (#2324656) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Bloke in the Corner ooh er, people remember me - well, there's only one thing worse than being talked about... For a nice set, how about Flowers of Edinburgh (G) then Soldier's Joy and Staten Island (both D) Very happy and bouncy. Then, for fans of A, the Mason's Apron and Atholl Highlanders. Plus any one of about a million more, and besides, the real fun of a session like Faldingworth is that you're likely to hear toons wot you've never heard before. Look forward to seeing and hearing you all. Lawrie |

12 May 08 - 12:12 PM (#2338415) Subject: RE: Faldingworth Session on 14/06/08 UK From: Rasener BBQ request I have had a request from Dave Longden who will be doing the BBQ. He will be doing the BBQ from about 3 to 5 in the afternoon. I think the cost is about £3. However he would like to know as much as possible, who want to partake of the BBQ, so that he can ensure that he has enough food. Those people who reserve their BBQ will get preference over people that haven't booked. So if you can indicate your requirement, that would help tremendously. 2 tunes available for practice I have just received 2 tunes from Liam Robinson in the form of a PDF file for those that want to get on learning. Astley's Ride in D Major Granfathers in D Major So anybody wanting them, can you please PM me with your e-mail address and I will forward the file to you. Allan Taylor Concert in the evening Tickets are selling very well for the above concert, so if you intend to come to that, but haven't already reserved your tickets, then don't leave it too long.
