Oh yeah, John, will definately be about. PTH are playing the Sun Inn on the Friday night, and I'll be hosting the singaround there on the Sunday afternoon.

Thanks for coming to the session yesterday everybody. Don't think I was a very organised host....will do better next time, promise!

Sweetfire-I live on Chants Ave, work in the Indian take away , and frequent The Tap and Spile, The Lamp, The Adelphiand most other music pubs in the area.

Enjoyed your session Pete,good to see a good crowd there, session is reallytaking off now, visiters from all over the country such as Noreen etc, you were a bit drunk when I saw you, looks liked you'd had a good day!

John


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:sweetfire - 6/2/2003 10:08:13 AM

Ok so not too many places i could have spotted ya then!!! Does theresa still do a session at all in The Tap ans Spile John?
Is that on the 20th Pete?

Hello peeps.
I personally thought yesterday wasn't as good as sessions have been - but I put that down to ..... TOO MANY SINGERS!!!!! Hey before anyone jumps down my throat I like singing but I like tunes more and that was just the way yesterday was. Also the prude in me came out I didn't think some of the songs were appropriate considering the number of kids that were around! any way nuf said.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:John from Hull - 6/2/2003 10:14:28 AM

The Tap & Spile sessions seem a bit quiet at the moment, as many of the regulars moved away, Jock & Sheila to Whitby, John& Christine to Beverley etc, shame really as there were some brilliant sessions in there a few years ago.I am starting a new music venue in this area soon though, I will letyou know when it opens.

John


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Was that a dig at me, John?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:John from Hull - 6/2/2003 10:18:32 AM

Hi John, I didn'tget there till about 6PM so can't really comment, but I do prefer mixed sessions, I especially like the Sloop.

John


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:smallpiper - 6/2/2003 10:20:37 AM

No Pete it was a general comment and may say more about me and my sensibilities than anything else. You should know by now that if I was going to have a go at you it would have been done in private!
So where will the musicians sessions be at Beverley then?




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:Jon Freeman - 6/2/2003 10:26:47 AM

I think I'm the same as you smallpiper. I could get some enjoyment even out of a night of nothing but unacompanied singing but to me, nothing beats the buzz you can get out a group of instrumentalists playing together.

Wev'e just lost our Wed night session venue - things felt a bit strange for a couple of weeks and last week, we got a message from one of the bar maids that the landlord didn't want us any more. Not quite sure why he couldn't have told us himself, it's not like we get nasty with people and I think we have all been around long enough to know that loosing a venue is, unfortunately something that you get used to...

Anyway, I went in to Norwich last night to make up for it and had a great session.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:John from Hull - 6/2/2003 10:27:09 AM

Sweetfire-Have you been to the Tuesday night music sessions at the Tap &Spile yet? It is run by The Hutt Street Gang, a young folkie type band, it's Jim Eldons son and his freinds. Smallpiper-Not sure exactly where the music sessions are, but last year the musicians tended to mainly meet up at The Tiger, I know John is running a Harp, Mandolin and Whistle workshop at oddfellows.

John


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:smallpiper - 6/2/2003 10:34:17 AM

The Tiger is usually the venue but it gets so full in there that no one stands a chance unless the have a very loud accordian! (mmm maybe I should take my Highland pipes!) Does anyone know the score at Nellies - I've started sessions there myself over the last 4 or 5 years on the staurday which have been good - but with the change in landlordiness and her attatude towards the sunday session????




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:sweetfire - 6/2/2003 10:35:07 AM

JFH-No i havent been to Tap for ages! Must go soon. It's a shame about the session because there where really good, first time i saw Mick was there and it was theresa who really got me into singing, like i said, must go again soon. Tuesnites sound fun, is it worth going? What is it like?
Well i was glad there wasnt lots of twidly-didly stuffon sunday, it makes a change!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:sweetfire - 6/2/2003 10:37:47 AM

But i do agree with JFH, mixed sessions are best!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:smallpiper - 6/2/2003 10:42:07 AM

So Sweetfire you don't want us twiddly diddly players to turn up anymore? (Just cranking the handle)




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:John from Hull - 6/2/2003 10:46:08 AM

John-I get the impression that Nellies is no longer the place to be, also I was speaking to John Kelly recently [Lindas husband], he tells me that most of the folk club regulars have given up on the place, and mostof them go to Cottingham instead, I suppose you could look in there anyway and give it a try.

I reckon a good place though would be The Woolpack, it already has a tune session there with a good following hosted by Ged the Piper, it is a bit out of the way and never gets too busy. I have Geds contact details here, so if you want to contact him to arrange something let me know, and i'll pass them on.

John


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:sweetfire - 6/2/2003 10:46:12 AM

dont be silly john!! just expressing my opinion like you did. however, are you suggesting the session would be better without us singers?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:sweetfire - 6/2/2003 10:48:45 AM

Ged's sessions are good, some fine musicians there, and with rather strange intruments might I add!!!



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:The DeanMeister - 6/2/2003 10:51:33 AM

John, it was probably down to me doing a crap job as compere yesterday. Sorry mate. Tunemeisters are always as welcome as singers, as well u know. Though I have little control over who turns up on the day.

Yesterday was an odd session, granted. Numbers seemed a bit down, and enthusiasm for the event seemed a tad low, but it got going in the end. Hopefully future sessions will be more to your liking. Personally I like a good mixture of songs and tunes. I only sung three songs all afternoon.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:sweetfire - 6/2/2003 10:57:16 AM

i thought those two little girls who play the little stickthingys (sorry, dont know what they are called) are really gettin good, they both have some balls!!! i existed in my own little world at that age, never mind performing something in public!!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:John from Hull - 6/2/2003 10:59:49 AM

Sweetfire-Tuesday nights are good, plenty of different instruments, fiddle, melodeons, guitar, banjo etc even a full drum kit and double bass!, they are a young group, anyone is welcome to join them to sing a song or playalong with an instrument, or do a solo, Jim Eldon often sings and accompanies himself on fiddle, he is an excellent fiddler, go along sometime, you will enjoy it.

John


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:smallpiper - 6/2/2003 11:06:49 AM

John fra Hull - I know about the Woolpack me and Nik Nak have visited it on several occasions.

No Sweetfire - I am not sugesting anything of the sort, and yes those girls (flute and Oboe) should be encouraged (can someone give them some dots for trad stuff though)

Like I said Pete it may say more about me and my sensibilities than what actually took place.

Anyone going to the Newport session tonight?




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:sweetfire - 6/2/2003 11:07:00 AM

what, he sings and plays the fiddle at the same time? wow, never seen that been done before!!! Well i will have to tell my Daddikins what you have just told me, i think he will be very glad that there is something going on in the Tap.
well must go and try to pass a Biology exam now, i know all about sex chromosomes...


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:smallpiper - 6/2/2003 11:09:19 AM

jim Eldons been on the scene in Hull for century's and yes he sings and plays fiddle at the same time.
Good liuck with the exam SF.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:John from Hull - 6/2/2003 11:14:25 AM

Pipes-Where is the Newport session? I am supposed to be working, but I might go to the session if the shop is quiet. Whats the session like?

sweetfire-yes Jim plays fiddle and sings at the same time! He doesn't play it on his chin, but rests it on his left arm. Tell your dad to go to Tap & Spile, I hav'nt seen him in there for ages, I think the lsst time I saw him in there was when he bought one of my mandolins off me.Good luck with your exam.

John


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:smallpiper - 6/2/2003 11:32:45 AM

Crown and Anchour (I think) its on the main street on the right. Starts at 8.30 and its predominatly tunes




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:John from Hull - 6/2/2003 12:14:37 PM

Thanks for the info smallpiper, I might see you there then.
swetfire-I just noticed your comment about the "strange instruments" at The Wooolpack, if you mean Hannahs mandolin , then they are not strange, I play one of them!

John


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:Mrs.Duck - 6/2/2003 3:44:02 PM

Word on the grapevine is that the landlord at Nellies is into old time american stuff and has requested a session during the festival.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:sweetfire - 6/2/2003 4:27:52 PM

JFH - Im afraid i cant remember many of their names now but i think some funny-looking mandolin was amongst them.
And thank for the luck you guys (johnX2), i think it worked, exam went quite well, alot better than expected!



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:sweetfire - 6/2/2003 4:30:18 PM

John From Hull, did you not see my dad on sunday? he was sat on the bench type seat near the bar, he would have been behind you when you first went up to the bar....


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:Mrs.Duck - 6/2/2003 4:31:57 PM

Glad exam went well Alec (my son ) presumably had same one and seems happy enough even if he did have to work percentages out in his head (oh the hardship) cos he forgot his calculator!




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:Skipjack K8 - 6/2/2003 4:39:11 PM

Jon, the quirk of fate that caused me to darken your door last year has turned again, and I will be down your way (Suffolk, anyway) on Tuesday 17th JUne. Is that session still going at the Temple Bar, in Norwich or has the venue or day moved? That was a cracking session I came to, that piper and guitar were superb, and some top flight flautists, too. I'd love to come and play another session.

Peter, I was loosing my grip on the real world after toping down so much Landlord, before I wobbled homeward on me bike, but I really enjoyed meself, thought the balance was cool, and being Mr Oakley's representative on Earth, he has asked me to convey likewise sentiments. You done good, kidder!

Greg, we changed to a Wednesday night and moved from the Temple Bar to the Plasters Arms because the tv soccer got too loud. As you will have gathered from my previous post to this thread, we have just lost that venue.

We are currently without a venue and I don't think we will have one next week. Maybe a decision will be made but a couple of us think it would perhaps be best to wait till next week when the piper and guitarist return from holiday and we are at "full strength" before finalising anything. I'll let you know when we know more.

Jon




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:Skipjack K8 - 6/2/2003 5:12:09 PM

Thanks Jon. Unfortunately, the Tuesday is fixed, but I will ensure I get down to your new session, whenever/wherever it is. Good luck.

rubbish you just took the wrong exam!




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:Jon Freeman - 6/3/2003 1:56:22 PM

Calculators! When I took my O-Levels, around 1976, calculators were allowed in class but not in exams. Do they still have the books with logarithms and other tables? I quit school before completing my A-levels but I think rules were the same.

Much later in life, I took a computer course which had a maths unit called "quantative analysis". The emphasis there was completely different. Everyone was expected to buy a calculator and a programmable was reccomended - I still have my old casio fx-4500p now. We also were expected to use spreadsheets. The maths wasn't hard but for that unit, the emphasis was on knowing your tools and getting results out quickly.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:sweetfire - 6/3/2003 2:42:13 PM

Erm, no they dont have books with 'logarithms' in, what the hell are they anyway? At G.C.S.E there are two math exams, and only one are you allowed to use a calculator on. Which is where it gets stuipd because you dont get different topics to learn for the calc test and then diff. topics for the non-calc test, you just have to try and guess with topics with appear on which test. So half the stuff im revising today will be a waste of time because it wont be on the exam tomorrow, but knowing which half is useless is the difficult part!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:Jon Freeman - 6/3/2003 3:03:57 PM

sweetfire, I'd have to leave it to someone better than me at maths to explain what logarithms are.

One place you could use them though was to multiply. You would look up the log of each number and add these up. You would then look up the anti-log and that would give you the answer. Similarly, you could subtract to logs to perform a long division and aslo multiply a log to get powers, e.g. to square a number, look up the log, multiply that by 2 and "anti-log" the result. Also, I once wrote a small program to convert a number from any base to another base and that used logs, e.g. on a "scientific" calculator, I could type "log 8/ log 2" the result of 3 tells me 8 is 2 to the power 3 (or 2 cubed). I can't remeber the theroy behind any of this and am not sure I ever really understood it.

The other tables in the book included functions like sine, cosine, tangent, etc. Things scientific calculators have on them.

Good luck with your exams BTW.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:sweetfire - 6/3/2003 3:14:11 PM

TAN, COS AND SIN? we still do those, and I bloody hate them!! Its all part or Trigonometry, but anybody would want to know bout it is beyond me!! However, what you have just described seems even more confusing than what ive been doing. In fact i cant believe you've remembered something like that (not sayin your brain cells are incapable of it or anything!!!)
Thanxs for the luck, not really too confident bout 2mz.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:sweetfire - 6/3/2003 3:29:16 PM

sorry that last sentence on the above entry should end 'but WHY anybody'


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:Jon Freeman - 6/3/2003 3:29:20 PM

sweetfire, perhaps I remember bits because we used them a lot and you could do things like a long division much easier with them. I was in the sort of "overlap period" - pocket calculators didn't really become affordable until I was maybe in the 4th form and then maybe you would be looking at a 4 function calculator perhaps with a memory, no sin, cos, tan, etc.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:sweetfire - 6/3/2003 3:45:06 PM

Jon, 4th Form? How old where you when you was in that? Never heard that before, but if you dont live where i do i suppose it would be different...


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:Skipjack K8 - 6/3/2003 3:50:06 PM

The relation of logarithms to common numbers is that of numbers in an arithmetical series to corresponding numbers in a geometrical series, so that sums and differences of the former indicate respectively products and quotients of the latter. Simpl, really. 4th Form, Year 10.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:Jon Freeman - 6/3/2003 3:56:12 PM

Im UK Sweetfire. I must admit I dont know the systems now. Mine was when you go up from primary school to secondary school at the age of about 11, each year was called a form, in that way so in your first year, you were a 1st former, etc. The exams were GCE then. Normally you would take your O-Levels as a 5th former. You would then go onto the 6th form for A-levels. That was a little bit different as the 6th form lasted 2 years and people were called "first year 6ths and second year 6ths (I only lasted about 3 months of 1st year 6th BTW).

Because of a move, I experienced 2 types of education systems. When I first started at "big school" I was in a comprehensive. We moved to Kent and I ended up at a Grammar School (boy's only too).

Sine = opposite over hypoteneuse
Cosine = adjacent over hypoteneuse
Tangent = opposite over adjacent...

I liked log tables, but never really got the hang of slide rules. Think I've still got one somewhere... and I still use my original calculator. :0)
I thoroughly enjoyed the session on Sunday Pete, good friends and splendid music.
If sp's dig wasn't aimed at the Deanmeister's new exposition, can't think what other songs were inappropriate- 'We never mention Aunt Clara"? Or perhaps it was my choice of songs-to-slit-your-wrists-by?
Nothing there that I would have been uncomfortable for my children to hear; in fact I think children would be less embarrassed at Deanie's song than some adults... my kids have had a giggle at it with me. It was FUNNY! (Wasn't it, Pete????)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:sweetfire - 6/3/2003 9:43:56 PM

The Cat SAt
On An Orange
And Had Hysterics......thats the song/ryhme we were told, and it does work. The diff. bit is applying it to a bloody triangle!

Neway, nuff said, Noreen; did you travel far to be at Pete's session? I found Pete's song in question quite tittersome !!!
Also, does anybody actually know any HAPPY folk songs??? That start happy and end happy, no one dies or gets blown up etc etc.... because I don't think I do!!

S'fire



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:Jon Freeman - 6/3/2003 9:54:41 PM

Sorry Sweetfire you had also asked "when" - say about 1974/75. Here is a page with the one of the first calculators I remember people having. As you can see from there, you were looking at £43.95 in 1973 but they dropped to £8.95 (in 1977).




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:Mrs.Duck - 6/3/2003 10:03:22 PM

Well good luck with the exam tomorrow anyway sweetfire even if they don't let you have a calculator! Must admit to being the idiot who forgot their log tables for the O level and had to do everything by the looooooong method!




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:Noreen - 6/3/2003 11:33:21 PM

Jon, thanks for that link: the Vintage Calculators Web Museum is a hoot! Mine was/is a Sinclair Scientific, which was the coolest one to have in those days, tiny compared with the Casios and Commodores.
I didn't see you there on Sun, sweetfire, and I was looking out for you- you weren't in your previous place by the window, obviously. Say hi if you see me again, please!
Yep, I drive for about 2hrs each way to get there, it's that good. And it would not be true to say i don't know any happy songs... I do have one happy love song in my repertoire *grin* but I tend to be drawn to the wistful ones for some reason. I think other peeps do jolly songs better than I do. But I'm trying- praps I'll surprise you all one day.
:0)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:smallpiper - 6/4/2003 10:39:16 AM

Hey Noreen I wasn't having a go at Pete there were other songs that I considered inapropriate (Harry G's for instance) I also said that perhaps what I was saying said more about MY sensibilities than what happened and if I was going to have a go at Pete I would have done so to his face. And I am not asking for your opinion on the matter just stating what I felt! grrrrrrr




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:sweetfire - 6/4/2003 10:49:25 AM

Noreen i was sat in front of the window at the end, i was the girl in pink top who asked pete, then mick, what 'ossonflags' meant. That was you who was sat on a stool next to pete when i asked wasn't it? But most of the time i was either at bar or sat reading the paper!!!! And i will say hi, if i don't go shy and chicken out!
I think im gonna make the effort to learn ahappy song, nah, dying people are far more interesting.....
Thanks for the link Jon


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any body else like pot noodles?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:smallpiper - 6/4/2003 11:38:34 AM

Noreen I made it quite clear that it was my opinion I was stating and not a general opinion of all in the session. I would never presume to speak for everyone there. Now lets not fall out over what would appear to be a misunderstanding eh?

Sweetfire get on with your revision pot noodles are bad for the brain!




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:sweetfire - 6/4/2003 11:47:17 AM

Yessir!!!! haha
Neway, i am, im on a break at the mo, like i have been for the last half an hour...
Actually pot noodles are highly nutricious and good for the heart....?(well ya never know, pigs could fly!)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:Noreen - 6/4/2003 11:51:25 AM

I'm not in the business of falling out with people, John, as a certain other person there on Sunday could probably confirm.
I don't remember HarryG or his song, sorry.
Maths this afternoon, Sweetfire? My son Tom has, and he's got English tomorrow on his birthday- shouldn't be allowed!
I'm not keen on Pot Noodles, but Super Noodles, on the other hand... :0)



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:sweetfire - 6/4/2003 12:03:58 PM

Yes its math at 1:30 today
Im looking forward to taking the english exam tomoz (excuse the saying) cos i'm going to piss on it!!! (ok, now 'touch wood'). Well i have History paper 2 on mine, so if someone asks how did you spend your 16th i'll have to say 'well half the time i was sat at a desk'... Oh Joy!
Super Noodles are nice, except dont you find that they stick to the bottom of the bowl? They a good substitute for kebabs.....anybody agree?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:Skipjack K8 - 6/4/2003 12:05:46 PM

Yes, I can confirm I am one of the few people Noreen has not fallen out with! *BG*

Gee thanks, skippy dear!

So, sweetfire, your birthday and History are on Friday 13th....!
I find that Supernoodles are harder to get on the skewer than kebabs, myself.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted by:sweetfire - 6/4/2003 12:15:27 PM

No the 18th, its the History PAPER 2, the source paper, the worse one outta the two in my opinion! Does your son also do history?

Ah- Tom's History paper 2 is on 13th, must be a different exam board. His are all with AQA except Maths with Edexcel.
All the best for this after.

This is a warning to session attendees in the Hull area!

I'm off to Scotland tomorrow to pick up my new Border Pipes and will be playing them in future sessions but be warned they are loud! (and I will be unbearable - just like the kid with the new toy - I'm bouncing about the place with excitment now!) Can't wait!

Totally off topic but I notice this thread is about 80 posts long and that all new people are viewing 1st page first.

You don't have to do either of these but some of you may prefer to go to mebership and look at the options there. If you are reading threads regualrly, it could for example be better to set things up so that links from the forum page cause a topic to open up with the last page rather than the first page. There is also a reverse sort option but I find that confusing.

Anybody know what the fate of this thread will be once cat is completely up and running? Will it still be here?

I've no plans of deleting this thread but I think PTH threads are better placed at Mudcat. If someone wants to copy over there, please feel free to do that. If that happens, I'd probably opt to close this thread to take no more new posts.

Thanks for providing a temporary home for the Hull threads Jon, try to get to Beverley and visit The Sun sometime,I know we talk a lot of rubbish but we are a freindly bunch! The first Sunday of each month is an all day session, starting around 2pm.

No problem John. I've enjoyed it and having extra people here! I don't think I could take too many PTH type threads all running at one time though. Working, as I do, on a very tight budget, I try to prioritise music (though as I've said before, I can take a LOT more than our current normal traffic and processing usage is, but not up to MC volumes). I selfishly hope though that people have had the oppertunity to see what can be achieved with very little capital outlay and why I try to prioritse the way I do.

As for Hull, will meet you up there one day. I still want to see that sea place...
