Hamish, calm down mate, you'll never keep up that level of anticipation until February.

Van space reserved Pete. It looks like we should be able to use the pub car park for a few vans again as well.

Have you got a heater in your van?

I'm struggling a bit for ticket sales would anyone be able to distrubute flyers at Northeast/ Yorkshire (or beyond) Folk Clubs that they visit.

PM me and I can send them either electronically or hard copy.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Just added to the programme:

Ukethrash!

Surely there can be no better way to start the Sunday? Starting with a brief beginner's session (covering the basics like which end to stick under your chin) and then hit the ground running with a couple of simple songs. The idea is that we all play the same song at approximately the same time and clear the airways playing "modern folk classics" by the like of Dylan, Credence Clearwater, Amy Winehouse, The Monkees, Johnny Cash, The Everly Brothers… Bring your ukes: we'll supply the song sheets.

Your host is Hamish who won't be asking anything demanding of you, cos he doesn't know much himself.

I think I should copyright the word "Ukethrash" I did a Google on it and two of the top five hits are for KFFC - and the others aren't written as one word. I've been putting the Ukethrashsetlist together and, to complement the KFFC's "Finger-pickin' Good" strap line, the Ukethrash will be toe-tappingly triff.

It was fantastic to have Gordon Tyrell turn up to play in the singaround.

I'm back home safely despite the snow. What a great weekend!. Enjoyed the Ukethrash - good work Hamish. Mairi has now been shown her new quarters and is resting after the inaugral thrashing.

By the time I got home, Lincolnshire's snow had just about melted away although my neighbour tells me there was enough fell overnight that they went sledging this morning!.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Thank goodness for the Winter Warmer. :-)

Thanks for your good wishes. I spoke to Nick this morning and we decided that it was probably best to postpone their appearance for another day as alot of people left early due to the snow.
