13 Aug 08 - 08:46 PM (#2413046) Subject: RE: BS: White Horse Folk Festival From: Beer Never been to the festival but have spent time in Whitehorse, Yukon that is, and it is one heck of a beautiful spot. Beer (adrien) |

13 Aug 08 - 11:40 PM (#2413149) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: maeve That looks like a really fine festival. I hope you'll have many happy folks attending this year. Let us know how it goes, please. And yes, kat, what a beautiful logo! |
14 Aug 08 - 03:14 AM (#2413245) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: Mick Pearce (MCP) Lovely festival; sadly I'm too far away from it these days. The logo is The White Horse of Uffington - it's a famous hill figure cut into the hills overlooking the Vale of The White Horse (about 300 feet long and 2000/3000 years old). Google it and you'll find plenty of information on it. Mick |
14 Aug 08 - 03:19 AM (#2413252) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: My guru always said Hey Dave, you appear to be more of an angry young man than when we last hugged, are you sure you're not quitting the habit? Really, really wish we could join you this weekend, if we could, we would. Know that you'll have a Fantastic Friendly Festival, am keeping fingers crossed that the weather will stay fair for you. Love & Hugs to all at Grove, Enjoy!!! Hil x |
14 Aug 08 - 04:03 AM (#2413271) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: Liz the Squeak Alas, circumstances beyond my control (and at present, Imodium), mean we cannot be there. Have a good one, but take the wellies - the forecast is not that good... LTS |
14 Aug 08 - 09:41 AM (#2413465) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: Deckman Boy ... you REALLY got me going, but only briefly. A festival at WHITEHORSE! YIPPEE, I shouted. Why, Whitehouse is only two hours away, just past Trafton and just short of Darrington. All of this is in Snohomish county, Washington state, USA. SSHHHEEEEUUUUHHHH! Bob(deckman)Nelson ... who lives near to Whitehorse. |
14 Aug 08 - 09:52 AM (#2413480) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: Leadfingers Despite the weather forecast I will probably get there!! |
14 Aug 08 - 04:17 PM (#2413957) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: GUEST Will definately be there. What ever the weather it's not far from the caravan to the scout hut or the rugby club, both of which I will be frequenting! And not that far to the village hall for the concert on Saturday night. This is a lovely friendly festival with songs and tunes aplenty. Any chance of a late night sing in the showers Skipy? (that's my abiding memory of my first visit many moons ago!) See you tomorrow Karen |
14 Aug 08 - 04:28 PM (#2413966) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: Beer Sorry about that. I guess I have the wrong Whitehorse. Have a great time. |
14 Aug 08 - 06:14 PM (#2414073) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: maeve I remember seeing the White Horse carving in the hillside years ago, when I went to England with my dad. It's beautiful country there too, even though it's not in the Yukon or Washington State. LOL |
14 Aug 08 - 06:17 PM (#2414075) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: Herga Kitty It's a lovely festival, but unfortunately clashes with Whitby this year. Hope to get there next year, when there are 5 Mondays in August! Kitty |

14 Aug 08 - 08:08 PM (#2414158) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: skipy Hi Guru, everything about WHFF is usually "taken out" this thread has managed to live for a day, maybe things are looking up, yes, I am angry because I have to deal with faceless cowards most days. No, I am not "giving up" only quitters give up! In fact I am actively smoking more! Skipy. (who will be at WHFF, but not in the venues!) |
14 Aug 08 - 08:11 PM (#2414159) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: skipy Thanks Kat, for moving up, my 16 year old is "chuffed to monkeys" (English expession for happy / very happy) because he created the logo! Skipy |
14 Aug 08 - 08:24 PM (#2414165) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: Folkiedave Hi Dave Sorry I can't make it this year - but will try next year. Dave |

14 Aug 08 - 08:45 PM (#2414179) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: skipy GUEST, yes we could do the mixed NUDE shower sing again. Skipy |

15 Aug 08 - 03:59 AM (#2414326) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: My guru always said Wish I wasn't missing this, such a friendly festival, one of the best in my opinion! Dave Sweetie, couldn't you just pop your head into the venues long enough to give them a song??? Surely you must have time to breathe...... Sorry that we've disappointed you guys across the pond, maybe one day either you'll join us or we can join you. Looking forward to that kinda day! |
15 Aug 08 - 08:33 AM (#2414475) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: Mr Red Dress optional? It's a ceilidh, we will be there. Save me two dance tickets. |

17 Aug 08 - 02:02 PM (#2416160) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: skipy Guru, This weekend I DID go into a venue I DID sing a song (it was shite but I did do one) for a moment I felt as though I belonged in the folk world Skipy |
17 Aug 08 - 02:08 PM (#2416166) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: Leadfingers Well I had a great wekend - Dave and Kate realy do a grand job running the festival |
17 Aug 08 - 02:38 PM (#2416195) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: My guru always said Oh Dave, I'm so glad!!!! Just wish we hadn't missed it *sigh* Please keep up the good work Honey & I'll hear you singing in a vnue soon I hope! Love & Hugs, Hil xx |
17 Aug 08 - 02:38 PM (#2416196) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: bubblyrat WFD and I had a really wonderful time and are now back home cooking a Sunday Roast and winding down after Bill McKinnon's excellent session in the Volunteer !! I am still wearing my "Help For Heroes " wristband , and will probably continue to do so until it falls off ! It was very nice to see so many Mudcatters there, especially Chas ( " Fidjit" ) from Sweden---safe journey home, mate. Eleven out of ten for the organisers !! Roger & Karen... |
18 Aug 08 - 05:54 AM (#2416628) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: Wild Flying Dove Here are a few photos from the weekend |
18 Aug 08 - 06:26 AM (#2416639) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: Jack Campin Any chance of putting the photos on a server rather more any-browser-friendly than Facebook? I can't see a single one of them. |
18 Aug 08 - 06:39 AM (#2416647) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: Doktor Doktor It was GOOD :-) .. Suggers is still grinning. Kudos in spades to Kate & Dave. Sad beyond measure to miss the experience of Skipy in full voice - anyone have a recording ;)??? In passing there's not a lot of festivals where the headline acts get stuck in at sessions. Grant & Hilary in particular are worth their weight in the precious metal of your choice. Their Make Em Laugh session was exceptionally fine :D |
18 Aug 08 - 12:24 PM (#2416903) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: GUEST All right, please don't rub it in too much - I really enjoyed the weekend exercising my new knee!! Best laid plans of mice and men, humbug, humbug. |
18 Aug 08 - 12:27 PM (#2416905) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: maeve Congratulations to one and all. I'd have loved to attend; especially would like to hear skipy sing:) |

19 Aug 08 - 05:12 PM (#2418052) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: Fidjit Cheers Bubblerat. I got home safely today. It was good wasn't it? I had a great time. Hey, wasn't that Linda good on the Chello! Well you were all very good. Dave and Kate Thanks. Good work. I will be back. The water in the showers were VERY hot. Guru. I missed you this time around. Terry. Had a good one mate. Glad you liked the cd. The others don't know what they missed. Chas |

20 Aug 08 - 06:27 PM (#2419030) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: Crane Driver Yes, a great festival as ever. And don't believe Dave when he says his singing was shite - he sang very well. An interesting and thought-provoking song about Australian aborigines, well performed. He's not just a pretty face, you know. Andrew & Carole |
20 Aug 08 - 07:06 PM (#2419065) Subject: RE: White Horse Folk Festival From: Bonecruncher Excellent festival, as always, although I was not feeling 100% due to severe cold. I know that everyone to whom I spoke enjoyed it. Colyn. |
