I know some of you won't have been up to Drayton if you haven't camped there in the past, but it's very easily accessible and is on the festival shuttle bus route. They always do a good selection of real ales and snacks and Nick & Lesley are always very welcoming to us Folkies. So, who's coming??? |

14 Oct 13 - 10:06 PM (#3566930) Subject: RE: Banbury Folk Festival 11-13th Oct 2013 From: JennyO What a great festival! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. And it was indeed very much a singers' festival. Rob and I had a great deal of fun at the Mudgather, and various photos were taken, which will be put on Facebook when we have time :) For anyone who couldn't stay for Sunday night - you missed a brilliant session. Our hosts provided us with sandwiches, chips and cake, and the singing went on for hours, with many humorous interludes ;) Now we have to work out how to get our awning dry. The rain kept on today, so we had to fold it up wet. Not much space to spread it out indoors and the weather looks too dodgy to leave it outside. Sure we'll figure something out.... |

Thanks to all of you for behaving on the Drayton campsite where Badger and I were Campsite Managers. It was a fun (and different) Mudgather. Glad I provided so much amusement for MGAS and Patty :-) |

15 Oct 13 - 11:47 AM (#3567108) Subject: RE: Banbury Folk Festival 11-13th Oct 2013 From: WindhoverWeaver sadly only made Saturday this year but had a great time nonetheless. Wonderful blues-ish session in the morning, some really great acts to watch, and the mudgather, which was a bit "different" but friendly and fun. Thanks to MGAS for organising, and, of course, to Merek'n'Dary and all the others who made it all possible. |

20 Oct 13 - 04:49 AM (#3568451) Subject: RE: Banbury Folk Festival 11-13th Oct 2013 From: My guru always said Ah Kitty, it's quite a list!! Sorry for delay, but it's been a busy week fitting in funerals etc. A fabulous Banbury Festival once again & huge thanks to Merek'n'Dary and all the Volunteers, Stewards and Performers who helped to make it such a great weekend! Yes, the MudGather was different this year, mostly due to being 'out of town' at Drayton and clashing with some wonderful concerts. But we had some Stalwart MudCatters attend complete with songs, smiles & chocolate of course. Those who stayed for the whole Gather managed two songs each and we chatted and laughed and even managed Group Photos. Hopefully Karen will put them up on the Mudcat Facebook pages when she gets a chance! We decided that the list should include all Catters at the Festival and so here 'tis: Merek'n'Dary JennyO Quantock Mrs Scarecrow Mr Scarecrow (apologies) ShortyBrenda Mr Red (apologies) Leraud Wild Flying Dove Badger (apologies) Tig Robbie Wilson Richard Atkins Sue the Borderer Dame Patti Smith EPNS Splott Man (apologies) Moses Singing Referee Hamish Hector Gilchrist (can't remember his MudCat name!) Battery Torch George Papavgeris Herga Kitty The Horologist (guest) PaulaT Snuffy my guru always said Rosie - Selchie (RS) Firecat (apologies) Windhover Weaver Murf T2L (is that right??) Lady Policeman Jock'o'Dreams (apologies) North\South Annie (apologies) The Unicorn Man Eldergirl (did you get there?) Now I know that there are loads of MudCatters I've missed this time, speak up, who did I miss??? Already looking forward to the next one!! |
