Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: Soldier boy Date: 13 Apr 06 - 07:03 PM Good on ya Cath. What Cath really means (but is too polite to say!) is so that people.....don't have to trawl through such a huge amount of c**p to find the bare bones and get all the facts. This thread has lost its thread so many times there is no thread and it's now threadbare....so it's time for a new thread. |
Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk - Programme From: Cath Date: 13 Apr 06 - 05:27 PM I don't want to be a party pooper but I'm going to see if I can start a new thread so that people who want information or to offer help or throw money our way don't have to trawl through quite such a huge list of messages. I'm going to try and do the blue clicky link thing but, bearing in mind that I'm still new at this game, I might do it wrong. |
Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: Cath Date: 13 Apr 06 - 01:50 PM Yes - I'll get on to it. Thanks Ray. |
Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: r.padgett Date: 13 Apr 06 - 01:17 PM Any body coming over from Holmfirth to Barnsley Easter sing can bring some to sell!! Ray |
Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: Cath Date: 13 Apr 06 - 01:13 PM Thank you Soldier Boy - just what I wanted to say but daren't!! Anyway the programme is now collected and available from tomorrow at the Tourist Information Office and the various festival venues and sponsors around the town. If perchance Sheila hasn't managed to get them to all the sellers when you rush in to buy one your best bet is The Nook/Carniceria. If anyone tells you they aren't there tell them Cath says they are - 7 boxes were offloaded there at 5.30 Thursday afternoon. |
Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: Soldier boy Date: 13 Apr 06 - 09:53 AM It's a poor and declining thread when people have nothing to say and gust keep adding banalities or mono-trash to continually "refresh". If you've nothing to contribute that makes sense and adds value to the forum shut up and let it fall off the page with some dignity and respect! |

Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: Cath Date: 12 Apr 06 - 04:18 AM I would like to support what Uncle Bulgaria said from a day or so ago. I don't want to do the school marm bit but it is proving a bit frustrating to get accurate information out through the web site and a bit soul destroying when we hear from people as close as Meltham and Honley that there is no festival this year. Press releases have gone to all the local press and media, posters are going up and 10000 flyers have gone somewhere! There's even a big banner over the Hospice shop in the middle of Holmfirth Please do all you can to pass the word as far as possible. Tell them there are still camping places available, the weather is on order, the programme is out on Friday and there's loads of stuff to do that will only cost you your beer money and a contribution in the collection bucket. If anyone out there would like to help a bit more than just turning up please drop me an email to holmfirthfolk@btinternet.com |
Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: holmfirther Date: 11 Apr 06 - 05:43 PM Free Sandwiches are innocent.. |
Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: dozy rozy Date: 11 Apr 06 - 12:39 PM I'm happy to say that I have my camping tickets. |
Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: Cath Date: 11 Apr 06 - 12:26 PM As Tyke has added a link to the holmfirthfestivaloffolk web site we really must get the stuff on the web site corrected! Believe me we are doing our best but something keeps getting in the way which I can't go into here for fear of prosecution. Never fear, the programme should have started to roll at the printers today and will be out for sale on Friday this week so we will have the definitive information in there. So don't get too excited about the Holmfirth Coral Society - you won't be expected to go deep sea diving for coral. And don't expect any of the turns to be performing in the pubs from 8pm - 12pm because they won't be, more likely 9pm - 10.30 in the Nook/Carniceria and 8.30pm - 10.00pm in the other pub venues. And expect to be charged for the Saturday night ceilidh with the Red Parrots because it isn't free. And make sure you get your tea because Sheila won't be serving free sandwiches at the Nook on Saturday night - but Free Sandwiches will be playing there! |
Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: GUEST,Raggytash Date: 11 Apr 06 - 10:35 AM Kyte my favourite little sheep sh**ger, I will look forward to seeing you in the Elephant and Large building somethimes used for defensive purposes on the Saturday of HOLMFIRTH FESTIVAL OF FOLK thought I'd better put that last bit in so Cath doesn't smack my legs |
Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: dozy rozy Date: 11 Apr 06 - 09:47 AM Can I come to the Saturday Elephant club? I want to sing "hey nonny nonny no, da doo ron ron, shalalaaaah." |

Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: Tyke Date: 11 Apr 06 - 09:10 AM This is my post before the last post. If visitors to this thread are getting just a little confused. And they just want to know the where what and why of the Holmfirth Festival of Folk in 2006 the should CLICK HERE |
Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: Tyke Date: 11 Apr 06 - 09:06 AM I'll repeat my last post whilst apologising for my spell checker interpretation of Raggytash. A Saturday Night Whitby Endeavour type sessions in the Elephant sound like a great idea to me. We had a lot of fun in there the year before last. I blame Raggyarse, Dave O Dee Day, Dozy Derrick and a few more miscreants. I do remember the regulars in the Elephant who kept insisting on buying rounds of drinks for the Musicians. However my memory is a bit hazy I can't remember if we went on strike to stop Raggyarse singing the Flower of Scotland or to get someone to buy a round of drinks so that we would let him sing it. So put the word out and lets try and recreate the atmosphere. Anyone else's is up for the Elephant Saturday night? I get Ken Stocks down there and Marie Blackburn. How about you Mando Man are you coming over with Angi? |
Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: GUEST,Raggytash Date: 11 Apr 06 - 08:13 AM How can you suggest that there is small talk and chat when some of it is just plain rubbish ......... see below. Furthermore Tyke likes sheep and loves to talk about them .... when he's not being intimate with them that is nip nip noo nip nip noo..dubi du du dubi dubi dub du |
Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: GUEST,Uncle Bulgaria Date: 11 Apr 06 - 07:41 AM Just a suggestion - how about opening up a second Holmfirth thread for festival information so as to keep it separate from the small talk and chat? |
Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: GUEST Date: 11 Apr 06 - 05:46 AM nip nip noo nip nip noo..dubi du du dubi dubi dub du |

Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: Cath Date: 09 Apr 06 - 05:36 PM Well the programme has now gone to the printer and with luck should be out on the streets by the end of Thursday. Anyone who wants to find out just what is planned for the weekend will be able to purchase one for the bargain price of £1 from the Tourist Information Office in Holmfirht and no doubt other location throughout the town. So roll up chaps and chappesses, sheep, goats and penguins and get your copies. |

Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: Cath Date: 08 Apr 06 - 12:42 PM I think he'd go down particularly well during the Doonan's set - after all it's the kind of thing they would probably do themselves if they thought of it. |
Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: GUEST,Holmfirther Date: 08 Apr 06 - 05:48 AM I asked Johny Spitfire to perform a fly by on stage at cinema on The Sunday afternoon...He's considering it on the basis that I buy him a pint of the stuff from Dublin........ |

Here goes:To the tune of "The Dam Busters" which goes something like: DA DA DA DA DADA DADA (To start with): We love our hero Johnny Spitfire, Daring, dashing, bold johnny Spitfire, In the sky he soars so high, in the thick of it he can't die. All guns blazing, he is amazing, Shoots down the foe, ranting and raving, Bombs away and Tally Ho! Johnny Spitfire Our Hero!! |
Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: Cath Date: 07 Apr 06 - 06:14 PM Oh Dear. I'm busy checking the programme for a day or two and this group descend into banality yet again. There's far too much levity here! |
Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: dozy rozy Date: 07 Apr 06 - 12:32 PM This particular thread appears to be full of slappers. |

Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: holmfirther Date: 07 Apr 06 - 07:58 AM Does this mean we cant have any sheep gags anymore..If not this message is going up top any way.. |
Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk From: Cath Date: 06 Apr 06 - 08:28 AM I hope you won't be too disappointed, Rupert, but even we haven't been able to raise John Doonan from the grave but the rest of the 'family' will do him proud I'm sure. Also the three Acoustic Stawbs who will be appearing will amply fill the Picturedrome. Let's hope that the web site will soon be sorted but I'll try to keep things informative on this forum without any recourse to sheep, wonderwoman or any other such tomfoolery! |
