26 Oct 08 - 03:59 PM (#2476679) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: Bernard Yes, Les, It's being organised by Don Davies, who used to be organiser of the Railway Folk Club, Lymm before he handed over to Stewart Lever some six or so years ago. It is to be run as a singers' club, with occasional Saturday 'Special Guest' nights. Admission £1.00, or 80p if you're a performer. Click here for the United Services Club location. See you there? |

26 Oct 08 - 04:15 PM (#2476698) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: Les in Chorlton Well, this is excellent news Bernard, I will have to negotiate with the management. Will it have a traditional feel, lots of singer-songwriter stuff or who can tell? Cheers L in C |

28 Oct 08 - 09:44 AM (#2478069) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: John Routledge Will miss tonight's start up but I am very interested to learn of the format adopted for these Singer's Nights. |

28 Oct 08 - 03:19 PM (#2478407) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: Bernard My guess is Don will run it the way he used to run the Railway Folk Club singers nights. It suited some, and didn't suit others... which is always the way these things will be! Talking of the Railway, it has been rumoured Dunham Brewery are planning to buy it and turn it into a micro-brewery, using the pub as a... pub! If that is what happens, it has to be a Good Thing! |

28 Oct 08 - 08:30 PM (#2478639) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: Brakn Full house tonight. Very enjoyable evening! Will be back next week, hopefully. |

28 Oct 08 - 08:47 PM (#2478652) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: Phil Edwards OK, who else was there? I've got a lousy memory for faces, but I've got a sneaking feeling there were more Mudcatters in Sale tonight than just myself and Alan. It was a good night; a fine roster of performers and a packed room - there must have been 50 of us there. The setup, for John & anyone else who's curious, was pretty much taking turns around the room; Don decided in what order he was going to call people, but he was pretty scrupulous about giving everyone a fair crack of the whip. Not so much traditional stuff & not so much unaccompanied singing as at the Beech, but a fair amount of both. Cheap beer, too. I'll definitely be going again, although another time I'll wait for the bus rather than trying to walk to the next stop before it comes - I wound up walking home to Chorlton. |

28 Oct 08 - 08:53 PM (#2478655) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: Phil Edwards Hi Brakn - which one were you tonight? I was the Phil who did a couple of unaccompanied numbers. |

28 Oct 08 - 08:54 PM (#2478657) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: Phil Edwards Thwaite's bitter ('Original'), not bad. |

29 Oct 08 - 04:08 AM (#2478777) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: Les in Chorlton Sounds like great night, I tremble with the envy of not being there! Or something, L in C |

29 Oct 08 - 06:38 AM (#2478841) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: Brakn Hi Pip, I melted into the background and didn't perform. Wasn't there anyone who could've given you alift? |
|
29 Oct 08 - 08:09 AM (#2478889) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: Helen Jocys Even though we didn't stay the course, Clare and I really enjoyed the evening. Lovely to see all the old faces again especially with Don at the helm. Missed Trevor though, goes without saying. Helen. |

29 Oct 08 - 08:20 AM (#2478899) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: John Routledge Good to see a successful start and to see Helen out and about!! Thanks for the insight Pip. Looks like a great addition to the singing scene in SW Manchester. |

29 Oct 08 - 09:09 AM (#2478952) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: Les in Chorlton So, John, Florida, what kind of excuse is that then? Chiz Les |

29 Oct 08 - 09:45 AM (#2478971) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: John J A warm sunny one! JJ |
|
29 Oct 08 - 09:53 AM (#2478972) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: Bernard Sorry I didn't make it after all... by the time I was finished with all the things I needed to do it was nine o'clock, so I decided to give it a miss after all. Perhaps next week - there's no Morris practice, so 'I'm free'! As for Florida... don't they have buses? |
|
29 Oct 08 - 10:35 AM (#2479011) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: John J Yes, but the return bus would have been too early - it wouldn't have been worth the journey. JJ |
|
29 Oct 08 - 10:54 AM (#2479032) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: Les in Chorlton So, what goes on here John? Much? Isn't this near Strtford? Chi L in C with clearly not a lot to do |
|
29 Oct 08 - 03:33 PM (#2479224) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: Bernard Indubitably! |
|
29 Oct 08 - 05:34 PM (#2479325) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: AlanG It was good to see so many familiar faces there; just like being back at the Railway. Bernard was right (he usually is but don't say I said so) Don ran it in the same way as he used to run the Railway with his random selection of singing order - and of course his Borrowed Guitar. Might not make it next week - could be saving myself for the Beech at Chorlton on Wednesday. |

29 Oct 08 - 06:22 PM (#2479365) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: John Routledge The Beech is worth saving yourself for :0) |

30 Oct 08 - 04:53 AM (#2479675) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: Les in Chorlton That's very kind Alan and John, I have to say the standard of singers is a bit good not to mention Smallpipe players! Chiz Les |

04 Nov 08 - 03:49 AM (#2484132) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: Les in Chorlton So, tonight, to Sale by a fair wind up the A56 and across the wide Mersey? Chiz L in C? |
|
04 Nov 08 - 04:28 AM (#2484166) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: Phil Edwards Not me this time - I'm saving my lungs (and liver) for the Beech. |
|
04 Nov 08 - 08:10 PM (#2485037) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: John J I only managed the last hour or so 'cos of Morris practice and had a pleasant evening. I hope to be back next week. The excellent Thwaites Original is only £1.90 / pint! JJ |

10 Nov 08 - 10:46 AM (#2489839) Subject: RE: New Folk Club, Sale, Greater Manchester From: Les in Chorlton I ahve heard that some people go to Sale to practice for the Beech and the Saracen's. Is this true? L in C |
