06 Sep 08 - 05:08 PM (#2432831) Subject: Good Intent Rochester UK 27th +28th Sept From: growler Having completely buggered up the previous posting, I thought that I would try again. There is to be held, on the 27th and 28th of September, a beer and folk weekend, at the above venue, from 12.30 onwards. Saturday will be hosted by John Barden and Sunday by ' Rough and Ready', A rare treat by anybody's standards |

06 Sep 08 - 08:21 PM (#2432949) Subject: RE: Good Intent Rochester UK 27th +28th Sept From: Girl Friday Hi Rafflesbear. These occasions are usually singarounds, but very good singarounds. The best of Kent Folkies will be there - even TDL. Growler - these guys are great- suggest some negotiation here- they've played the Man Of Kent. Karen and Dal might like to book them for your birthday. |

12 Sep 08 - 07:49 PM (#2438851) Subject: RE: Good Intent Rochester UK 27th +28th Sept From: Don(Wyziwyg)T Wrong weekend for me I'm afraid. I'm taking two clients and their carers up to Norfolk for a week from 27th, so I'll be looking for clubs in the Wisbech/Kings Lynne area that week. Anybody out there know of a few, within say 10 miles. Dijit |

So long as there is no margarine, if you get my drift... Did I mention I now have 3 not 4 Volvos... |

14 Sep 08 - 11:51 AM (#2440008) Subject: RE: Good Intent Rochester UK 27th +28th Sept From: Richard Bridge Very witty Melodeonboy! And no Growler, apart from the bits I removed after the engine did its China syndrome, it is now definitely only three Volvos (unlsess you count the spare twin cam engine in my garage needing a rebuld, the spare M46 gearbox that alas will not tolerate the engines I have got, and the M90 gearbox and ancilliaries that I got on Saturday to put in the silver one) |

14 Sep 08 - 12:10 PM (#2440023) Subject: RE: Good Intent Rochester UK 27th +28th Sept From: VirginiaTam By no means Kentish (not yet anyway) or anyway near best at anything, but I plan to be there part of both days (hopefully). Looking forward to hearing lots of good music both days. Going to search for a B&B within walking distance of the Good Intent, now. |

I didn't know you were in scrap metal, RomanyMan - we must discuss the price of a Volvo that can be driven in (not that Ihave any spare ones any more). You do of course know what one is - you saw me drive one out of a field twice at boggy Knockholt. |

28 Sep 08 - 02:04 PM (#2452244) Subject: RE: Good Intent Rochester UK 27th +28th Sept From: Richard Bridge Sunday, on the other hand, built up a nice head of steam. The second fiddler added considerably to the sound and both were observably improvising to good effect. Have to compliment Carrie again on the wossname polka - I have only previously heard it margarined and hated it. With all the notes in it is really nice. |

28 Sep 08 - 03:22 PM (#2452283) Subject: RE: Good Intent Rochester UK 27th +28th Sept From: VirginiaTam Wow! We both had a great weekend. I need to get up with the Essex Girl and Naughty40 so we can swap some songs and maybe learn a couple to perform together. Thanks for the invite, Growler. The folk at the Good Intent are always so warm and welcoming. Really looking forward to the December do. Must dig out my Ramskyte Dark December CD and see what songs I can resonably lift and not damage too much. P.S. Thanks to Essex Girl and to Richard Bridge for their very kind offers. They know what I'm talking about. And to all over the weekend for the great music and lovely compliments. Confidence up another notch. Oops. Almost forgot. Huzzah to the Host and the Hostess of the Good Intent! S'all I gots to say. |

29 Sep 08 - 02:18 PM (#2453066) Subject: RE: Good Intent Rochester UK 27th +28th Sept From: VirginiaTam naughtyforty - You have been pm'd with Auchindoon lyrics as per your request. Someday, I would like you and maybe Essex Girl to learn Advice to the Ladies with me. Some lyrics are a bit raunchy, some very raunchy, very simple melody and easy to remember chorus, but it needs to be performed with attitude and some requisite harrassment of and flirting with the men. Pete the Hat - You were peeking over naughtyforty's shoulder at my book o'songs and laughing at "Advice to the Ladies" lyrics. If you can convince naughtyforty to learn it, maybe we can perform it next time we all are met together. la la la |

29 Sep 08 - 04:04 PM (#2453159) Subject: RE: Good Intent Rochester UK 27th +28th Sept From: VirginiaTam Thanks Pete. I will PM her about it. I have been reading the Knockholt thread and I supposed that guest_Rafflesbear was also known as Lady Raffles. Girl Friday responded to a post Lady Raffles put in. Then guest_Rafflesbear replied to Girl Friday re that response. Maybe I'm wrong but that is how I interpreted it. And this so doesn't belong in this thread. Shrug. |

Mustn't neglect to say that John, Steve and Norman each took it in turn to make some good tingles. Sorry you missed it. Girl Friday... I stand corrected on the two Raffles respectively. We will try to get up to Fab Club this weekend. Not promising as Chris has loads of work to catch up on and I am starting new job tomorrow. Fingers crossed, eyes dotted and all that. |
