12 Oct 04 - 09:48 AM (#1295165) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: MoorleyMan I'll be there too, not quite sure what duties yet. But if it's anything like the last two Bedworths it'll be a grand weekend to see the festival season out on a high note. A Gather would be wonderful - but finding a suitable venue this year might be difficult especially if Malc's still frantically trying to sort venues for the official events! |
12 Oct 04 - 10:34 AM (#1295203) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: My guru always said I'll be there!!! Am sure that Malc will be itching to have an official MudGather as he was there at the Banbury one & saw how successful it was. But nothing officially programmed in for this year, maybe next??? |

I went there a while ago, and quite frankly, although there were a few good artists on, the 'fringe' part of the Festival was indeed in the hands of some undeniably freakish people.

17 Oct 04 - 09:28 AM (#1298939) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: Herga Kitty MBS is flaming - MBS (as opposed to Lynne and George) is not even a Mudcat member, at least not under that cookie (I checked), so can't be PM'd. As El Greko has pointed out, refreshing the thread (even irrelevantly) gets it back to the top. I'm not fully up to date with the venue problem - I know there is one, because Malc heard in August that the rebuilding work at the Civic Centre won't be finished in time for the festival - but would it be feasible for Catters to gather in the White Swan?

18 Oct 04 - 06:26 PM (#1300086) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: Malc Bedworth Hi, Just butting in to the thread to say - want a Catters Meet then I'll find you a venue! Just also to let you all know that the current situation with venues is: Civic Hall refurbishment will not be finished in time (only the main hall will be available so the Craft fair and Ceilidh will be going on in there) Arts Centre next door will be OK so Voices will be there as usual and all the day/evening concerts on saturday, plus we will be using the Arts Centre friday evening. We have the very plush Liberal Club for concerts all day saturday "The All Day Folk Cabaret" with all the main guests appearing during the day (also cheap beer and catering facilities) - fridays main concert will be in the Conservative club, and the Ceilidh in the Ex-Servicemans Club (sorry we can't keep complete political impartiality as the Labour Club has closed down!) We are also using the Fire Station Social club friday/saturday and sunday, a nice room that holds about 60 people and beer at £1.40 a pint and just a few paces from the indoor camping! Childrens events will be in the Methodist Church Hall (opposite the White Swan)- Needless to say the White Swan will remain a hive of activity over the week-end with song and music sessions plus the upstairs clubroom. All venues are within 100 yards or so of the Civic Hall. We are starting to build up the info on the web site but as you can imagine it's been very difficult sorting out venues at this late stage. Also in reply to "Are there any tickets left" - the use of the new venues has given us the ability to greatly increase capacity and far better concert facilities so we can up our ticket numbers, otherwise we'd be getting close to capacity now. Sorry to go on - I must be getting excited!! Malc. |

18 Oct 04 - 06:48 PM (#1300096) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: Herga Kitty Malc - how kind of you to butt in on all this off-thread stuff, with some really useful info about festival venues! Glad to hear it's going well. Hope to see you on the 27th! Kitty |

19 Oct 04 - 08:12 AM (#1300561) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: GUEST,Dave Roberts, Salt Town Poets Someone said that Bedworth is not 'the prettiest of towns' (or words to that effect). I wonder if the fact that the festival takes place in the winter doesn't help? No town is at its best in December. For what it's worth, Bedworth reminded me a lot of Crewe - and, rest assured, that's a compliment. (Crewe is another much-maligned town which many people do not bother to look at too closely.) And I seem to recall passing a truly delightful spot in Bedworth not far from the town centre with some wonderful old buildings. From memory, I think they were almshouses or something of the sort.

19 Oct 04 - 09:47 AM (#1300634) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: Snuffy Dave, You're right about Bedworth and Crewe - both honest-to-goodness hardworking towns with no frills.

21 Oct 04 - 06:32 PM (#1303302) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: Malc Bedworth Ello again all - OK then, do you want me to set something up for around teatime Saturday for a 'Catters session? - if so can I have an offer of someone(s)"holding it together" then I'll get it sorted, realistically I'll need to know for sure over the week-end at the latest as I'll be looking at events and running orders etc from then onwards. By the way saw the Civic Hall a couple of days back - looks like a bomb-site - all adds to the delights of picturesque Bedworth! Ta! Malc. |

22 Oct 04 - 04:11 AM (#1303638) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: Scooby Doo Thats a good idea to get to know each other a little bit more,we could also do a little singing if we wanted too????. Scooby |
22 Oct 04 - 04:56 AM (#1303660) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: George Papavgeris MBSLynne, re your suggestion for a Mudgather without singing, just for meeting/chat: I don't see that as necessary, certainly not as something the Festival should schedule. An organised "meet and greet" takes valuable time from the festival schedule, and with many Catters already knowing each other, it would only benefit few. The Catters singaround serves as a way to not only put faces to handles, but also to hear each other sing or play. If Catters meet at the singaround, they can then step outside for a chat in twos/threes/etc, or agree to have lunch or a drink together, or something like that. I'll certainly join one, if it's arranged, provided it does not clash with my schedule on the festival programme. It would also be nice to have instrumentalist Catters joining, not just singers, for a nice mixed session. (Someone else already said that, I am just repeating it). And we need one of us to step up and take it on. MGAS did a grand job at Banbury, but she might want to sit back and relax this time. Volunteers/suggestions? |
22 Oct 04 - 05:46 AM (#1303685) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: My guru always said So sensitive El Greko! It would be nice to sit back & enjoy, though running the Banbury MudGather was a pleasure apart from having that cold! If no-one else steps up I'll take the reins again, so I guess the answer is 'Yes please Malc, Saturday teatime sounds just right!!' We can works things out between us over the next few weeks & I'll bring the Blow-up Cat. Anyone got any choccies???? Agree it would be good to have more of a 'mixed session' with more instrumentalists, are we really predominantly singers? |
22 Oct 04 - 06:14 AM (#1303698) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: GUEST,Noreen To try and combine the 'getting to know' bit with singing together, how about each catter introducing themselves before their bit, perhaps saying where they're from or whatever? That gives others a handle for a chat later when time allows. I liked seeing all the 'new' catters at the Banbury meet, but would have liked to know who they were! :0) |

22 Oct 04 - 07:51 AM (#1303750) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: Snuffy Should be able to make it , as our commitments are all on Friday night. I like Noreen's idea of introducing yourself, and agree that a small number of instruments would not be totally unbearable for the unaccompanied fundamentalists among us. And how about tea and cakes as well as the choccies? |
22 Oct 04 - 09:27 AM (#1303829) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: My guru always said Tea & Cakes?? Am hoping Malc will find us somewhere with a bar.... Yes Please Morti!!!

The venue will also host the Folk Club session from Noon to 4pm. The pub will also welcome singing in music in the spacious downstairs lounge throughout the week-end. We are at last able to start shaping the events list and running order (as we've got some venues to put the events in now!) and hope to have the working programme on the web site by sunday evening - click here for link. I've assumed Kitty & Hilary will play the hostesses with the mostesses from what they've been saying, and the festival will provide a box of choccies to get you going (although we might eat the purple ones first!)

06 Nov 04 - 05:09 AM (#1318665) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: MBSLynne Sorry...I was a bit pissed when I wrote that! Love Lynne |
06 Nov 04 - 06:36 AM (#1318691) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: My guru always said Lynne: pissed? surely not.... MalcBedworth: Fabulous idea about the Festival donating Chocolates to the Gather! Hope the idea catches on with other Festival Organisers *grin* Morticia: looks like there may or may not be Purple ones? We'll see! PixieofDoom: Hope all is well with Jack & that he'll be bright & bushytailed ready for his onerous Twig duties at the Gather! |
06 Nov 04 - 07:19 AM (#1318716) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: MBSLynne I have something to lure Morticia away from the purple ones.... When I strained off the strawberry vodka I started during the summer, I was left with a load of vodka soaked strawberries, so I chopped a few of them up, melted some Green & Blacks, mixed them together and left it to set. The result is......well........beyond words! So..I still have a lot of the strawberries left. Being soaked in alcohol they should keep ok until Bedworth, so I will make a load of this wonderful chocolate thingy and bring it with me. How's that?? Love Lynne |
06 Nov 04 - 07:20 AM (#1318717) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: Morticia Okay,I'll be in charge of gathering cats, Pixie will be in charge of Jack......should be fun..... Morticia ( who only works for purple Quality Street) |
06 Nov 04 - 07:52 AM (#1318732) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: MBSLynne So you don't want any of my alcoholic strawberry chocolate then Morty......? |
06 Nov 04 - 08:45 AM (#1318754) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: Wuzzle Thanks Malc I'll be there, I like this Chocolate idea :-) |
06 Nov 04 - 12:22 PM (#1318858) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: My guru always said Lynne that sounds absolutely disgusting! What a fantastic idea *grin* |
10 Nov 04 - 07:48 PM (#1322896) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: Scooby Doo The programme is now on the website if anyone is interested. See you all on Saturday Afternoon. Scooby |
11 Nov 04 - 03:24 AM (#1323209) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: George Papavgeris I hope to be there for the first half hour - then I have other commitments. Perhaps we could also have a Friday evening session somewhere, for the early arrivals? On the other hand two Mudcat sessions might be too much for any festival! In any case, for the first time this year I'll be around for the full three days. |
11 Nov 04 - 09:38 AM (#1323255) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: Splott Man Looks like it'll be flying visit from Pat Spoons, Dr Price and me, we've only got an hour from 5.30 between commitments. Can I have a purple one, please? Do I have to book it? |
11 Nov 04 - 10:00 AM (#1323281) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: MoorleyMan Just managed to look at the programme on the website, sad to say the meet clashes entirely with one of my booked commitments - but I'm sure I could get to meet up with some of ye Catters on the Friday instead, hope so. Promises to be a great festival again this year, and v. well dun Malc for sorting venues against all the odds. |
12 Nov 04 - 05:57 PM (#1325027) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: Malc Bedworth Just a line to say, although it isn't programmed the upstairs room in the White Swan is available Friday night (if the pub lounge and bar get too busy with the locals) - you'll still have to use the downstairs bars. We have 4 other venues on the go too friday - twice as many as previously! Cheers Malc |
12 Nov 04 - 07:16 PM (#1325088) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: Emma B Lynne - I love you , almost as much as I love the sound of that chocolate. See you at Bed'uth - save me a piece I'll bring the cayenne choccie! |
13 Nov 04 - 06:39 AM (#1325506) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: George Papavgeris Thanks Malc! MoorleyMan, it's a date for Friday night then? Unless you fancied some of the other events? |
13 Nov 04 - 07:25 AM (#1325549) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: Chris Green Isambarde alias moonunit and myself (plus noncat Em) WILL be there this time! Thanks for progamming it in Malc! |
15 Nov 04 - 03:20 PM (#1327625) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: My guru always said Haven't had a chance to check the program yet, but a bit of a meet on the Friday night sounds good especially as several people have other 'chores' on the Saturday. Suggestions re. Friday??? Time? Meet in bar or will we have enough for a session upstairs? |
15 Nov 04 - 03:39 PM (#1327646) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: MBSLynne I wonder what the chances are of being able to bring children? |

Snuffy & Alanww (well I couldn't find a web-page under Men Acting Badly or Shakespeare's Mummers, but I think I'll be at the back of the audience anyway) Duellingbouzoukis, Moonunit & one poor non-Cat Isambarde Dave4Guild & shortybrenda (Dave Bennett & Brenda Hart) Leraud (Lynn Heraud & Pat Turner) Buddug (Vicki of Trefor & Vicki Willams) El Greko George Papavegeris GUEST Pat Spoons Spoons workshop leader extraordinaire & one half of Calennig Morticia & Herga Kitty (our gracious hostesses with the mostesses & in charge of Jack & Chocolate) OK, so who did I miss out of the performers?

Can someone please figure out a time for the Friday upstairs in the White Swan meet? It seems like after 9pm is the first time mentioned..... Sorry I haven't had time to list names of Catters coming to either the Official Gather or the Unofficial Meet, but it'll be good to see / hear you all again at the weekend!! If I don't get back on the Cat before then, safe journeys all & don't forget to bring the most important ingredient apart from yourselves - Chocolate! |

28 Nov 04 - 11:36 AM (#1341154) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: Herga Kitty When you're feeling down, the best way up is chocolate.... the chocolates with crunchy celery centres, provided by Lynne at yesterday's Mudcat gather, were really rather good. As was the singing. Many thanks to Malc for programming the session, to Morty for doing most of the work running it, to Madcat and Piddling Pete for realising that other people's fingers would do the walking for Jack to keep the singing going. And to everyone who sang, and/or brought chocolate. Kitty |
28 Nov 04 - 11:59 AM (#1341169) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: MBSLynne Amazing! The celery covered chocolate ALL went, while I took a few of the alcoholic strawbverry ones home! Great weekend altogether! Thank you everyone. Love Lynne |

28 Nov 04 - 04:20 PM (#1341368) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: Sue M Hi Everyone, Great session at the White Horse in spite of Bedworth Town Council trying to blow up the town centre (well it sounded like that). Nice to see Mudcatters in person - but can we have name stickers next time so we can work out who is who as I only caught a few names. Looking forwards to the next one (hopefully without the French Market so we can find a parking space). |
28 Nov 04 - 04:26 PM (#1341371) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: Scooby Doo It was great to meet you Mandotim and Webfolk but whos sending me to sleep with your lovely music tonight.Take care all of you and i will wear your badge with pride. |

29 Nov 04 - 04:00 AM (#1341774) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: JudeL yeah it tasted nice but we'll be staying away from that provencal chicken if it's there another time. It upset both of us on Sat Afternoon/evening & was still making it's presence felt on Sun. & no it wasn't overindulgence in alcohol as on Sat by the time I wasn't stewarding I was starting to feel uncomfortable & the beer was going down very slowly to the point where I gave away the last one as I just didn't want it. |
29 Nov 04 - 04:25 AM (#1341784) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: Splott Man A great festival, thanks Malc. I've put a few more Mudcat names to faces (I haven't got a complete set yet). Thanks to Covonia and Vocalzones, Pat & I managed to get a few songs out. Great seshes in the White Swan yesterdy afternoon. Didn't get any chocolate covered celery or strawberries though, were they in that gold box you were keeping tight hold to, Lynne? See you all soon Splott Man & Pat Spoons |

29 Nov 04 - 05:00 PM (#1342426) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: MoorleyMan Just wanted to add my voice to the many others in appreciation of Malc, his excellent achievements and Herculean efforts! Not to mention his band of stewards, coping specially well this year I thought.... What a great festival, with some fine singarounds in particular. Shame I missed the official gather, due to hosting commitments elsewhere throughout the gather period, but we managed to get a nice alt. gather going on Fri evening and at least I caught up with some of you over the weekend at various places. Special thanks to Morticia, El Greko and of course Guru. Oh how I wish there was more time. See y'all again soon. M |

29 Nov 04 - 06:40 PM (#1342549) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: GUEST Bedduth, The Day After: – I drove back from the Festival with a song in my heart. Bedworth was SO fantastic – the asbestos threat rendered the Civic Hall unusable, the rail-less steps were a mountaineering challenge and the one-way system around the town must have been designed by a sadist – and yet whatever obstacles they faced, the organisers kept smiling! Thanks, Malc, for all your unflappable and efficient gaffership. It rubbed off on the punters, too – there was an overwhelming ambience and feeling of general goodwill to all persons. Sorry about my persistent cough – I've been sucking Vocalzones until I'm blue in the face. Pat Spoons and Splott Man both picked up colds in the past week and I didn't want to be the odd one out. Oh – hope you arrived back safely, SM and PS. Was Scooby on the train? The M50 was closed and I - like thousands of other drivers - endured queues, a slow detour around the Herefordshire countryside and then more queues. I drove back two hours late – but Bedworth made it all worth it. What a delightful way to spend a weekend! |
29 Nov 04 - 06:42 PM (#1342551) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: Morticia just back.......( long story)......thanks to everyone who came to the Mudgather, and all those who brought chocolate, especially the celery(!) and the purple quality street, which I nobly shared with Kitty, without even sulking (much). I counted about 32 Catters at one point.It was a cracking session and we had a great time, sorry to those who had to compete with the fireworks though.Jack has a hangover the size of a planet...but mumbled he's had a good time too. |

Thanks Dr Price, we got back OK, the M50 was clear for us, but we left a while before you so you were dead unlucky there.

30 Nov 04 - 04:41 AM (#1342975) Subject: RE: Bedworth From: mandotim Remiss of me; big, big thanks to Malc and all the team for a fantastic effort!
