14 Aug 15 - 07:37 AM (#3730281) Subject: The Wail From: Morticia Nearly time for The Wail again, folks. September 4th - 6th: Do come, it is largely unaccompanied singing festival ( some of the best singers around imo) but we don't mind if you bring your guitar/ squeeze box/ banjo etc to accompany yourself if you want. There is a reasonably well behaved, quieter song tent and a usually raucous and badly behaved chorus/ shanty/ mad tent, so you can choose which suits or bounce between both. There is a midnight medieval banquet and singing around an open fire until the early hours. There is a cream tea workshop, real ale and honestly you'd be a mad eejit to miss it. I believe there may be certain Beach based shenanigans at the 'cocktail hour' party, there may even be mankinis ( but I am fervently praying they think better of it) .Anyway bring your best beach songs and Hawaiian shirts or grass skirts,it should be a hoot. See more here The Wail |

18 Aug 15 - 11:50 AM (#3731171) Subject: RE: Wareham Wail From: Morticia We wish you could too. Meanwhile: It's not long now until we'll be enjoying a fantastic weekend of song at The Wail. This is just a quick reminder that the ticket price is set to rise to £28 on August 23rd, so there are only a few days left to get your tickets at the current low price of £22. Meanwhile, I met one of the barmen for the Beach Party themed session when I was at Sidmouth and he assured me that his mankini is on order ... I can't wait! Hope to see you on September 4th Idris and Terri ( Morticia) -- The Wareham Wail. September 4th to 6th, 2015 "A harvest of song complemented by good company, good food and drink" http://www.wail.org.uk/ |
