10 Feb 05 - 12:58 AM (#1404131) Subject: RE: Easter Singaround with Indoor Camping From: GUEST,Les B. So, for those of us on the other side of the pond - what is "indoor camping" ? Inquiring minds want to know. |
|
10 Feb 05 - 05:59 AM (#1404281) Subject: RE: Easter Singaround with Indoor Camping From: padgett Hy Les indoor camping is when in the cold climate of Britain at Easter it is far too cold to take your tent to a venue The indoor camping makes use of community halls, scout huts, church hall, youth centre venues and similar and permits singers and musicians to bting their matresses airbeds sleeping bags etc and sleep together communially (yep great fun) often singing cinbtinues well intop the night and breakfast may be late!! Barnsley is just such an event using YMCA Community hall next to the town centre and all amenities including late night pubs/clubs and fast food outlets if you wish A great experience on a smaller scale to the big outdoor festivals and adopted by many UKL festivals Ray Padgett |

15 Feb 05 - 11:27 AM (#1410499) Subject: RE: Easter Singaround with Indoor Camping From: GUEST,Mark Dowding Just to clarify what Chris Harvey and myself are doing - Both have us have been admirers of Harry Boardman's work over the years - Chris from the sixties and myself in the seventies and eighties. I was a resident at Harry's club for a few years in the early 80's. Harry died at the age of 57 in 1987 and the pair of us felt that the songs of the industrial North West that he brought to the attention of the country with LPs like "Deep Lancashire" and "Owdham Edge" were no longer being heard apart from one or two people such as myself and Sid Calderbank keeping them going. Chris and I decided that the time was right to have a revival of these songs and we set about recording a number of the songs that Harry sang on a CD - "A Mon Like Harry". I was doing the singing in a style similar to that of Harry and indeed the banjo I play is one of Harry's that I bought off him. The recording was done by Chris in a style similar to what you'd hear on the old Topic LPs. Last summer we performed a show/workshop similar to the one we've been asked to do at Easter at various festivals including Four Fools, Saddleworth and Fylde. The response we got was fantastic from either people who remembered the songs and Harry in his heyday or from people who had never heard them before but appreciated the historical aspect of them as opposed to the more comedic/music hall style of the Lancashire dialect songs that were being sung by various people and groups. Chris and I are both looking forward to this Easter Sunday and we hope to see you there. More details of Harry's work HERE Cheers Mark |
