Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: the lemonade lady Date: 14 Aug 06 - 06:59 AM Hey boys, thanks for the song adverts! Yes I'll be there. Hopefully near the bar and the main marquee. So Trevor, you'll be there? It'll be good to see you. Traffic'll be a bugger on Monday night onto the bypass with competition from the Onlsow Park steam rally. Takes hours to get off that site so be prepared to jam! Sesh in the road? Pete Grassby entertained on the M5 last week when there was a serious jam. Sal |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: GUEST Date: 13 Aug 06 - 06:45 PM How far is the county ground site from the railway station? Is it walkable? There is a footbridge marked on the website map, does it give acess to the campsite or would people still have to follow the roads marked by blue arrows. thank you in anticipation |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: kab Date: 13 Aug 06 - 12:05 PM The Quarry site is full. The county Ground site is large,flat,picturesque and splendid and only a 10 minute walk from the Quarry site.Have a look at the Shrewsbury Website and all will be revealed. |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: Mr Happy Date: 13 Aug 06 - 07:31 AM refersh. I heard on grapevine that the main campsite is full already. Anyone kno? Alternative cites? |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: webfolk Date: 09 Aug 06 - 01:24 PM GUEST (at least I am not afraid to put a name to my messages) Yes I was having a laugh, in the other thread that you so kindly highlighted regarding 'self publicity'. We all do it, we all need it. You, however, clearly don't need the publicity and aren't prepared to put your name to a message. Mr Red's song is good too, and The Lemonade Lady also deserves all the publicity she gets. I'm looking forward to seeing her at the Burntwood Festival on August 18th - 20th.

Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: Rasener Date: 09 Aug 06 - 01:15 PM Wow that looks very good. I would love to be there, but will be in Holland. Maybe next year. |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: Mr Yellow Date: 09 Aug 06 - 12:56 PM OOOOOOOOOoooooooooer Mr Red (apparently) wrote a song about the lemonade and sang it on the Thursday of Bridgnorth. See pdf or text All Fri, people were saying "heard the song, nudge nudge". Mr Red - coy as ever, denied all knowledge, & prompted strangers to comment to her about the song as they walked past. Sally, kept asking him about this song wot he knew nothing about! Best fun he had with his clothes on. Not that I have met this Mr Red - you understand. d8^)} |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: GUEST Date: 09 Aug 06 - 12:55 PM Is this the same 'webfolk' who was criticising Bernard for blatant self-publicity a while back? Pots? Kettles? See thread . You're having a laugh, surely? |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: webfolk Date: 09 Aug 06 - 12:11 PM Danensis, a text to Sally who is currently at Sidmouth, and a reply to me who is currently at home, tells me that Ms Lemon, the Leomonade Lady, immortalised in my song 'I'm in love with the lemonade lady' which can be found at my website under 'songs' at www.webfolk.net WILL indeed be at the Shrewsuby Folk Festival. Geoff |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: muppitz Date: 09 Aug 06 - 11:05 AM danensis, I'll be working for Moor & Coast, probably on the late shift, not too difficult to find! muppitz x |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: Trevor Date: 09 Aug 06 - 07:32 AM Ask her - pm Mrs Lemon. |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: danensis Date: 08 Aug 06 - 03:50 PM Does anyone know if the lemonade lady who used to be at Bridgnorth is going to be at Shrewsbury? |

Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: danensis Date: 06 Aug 06 - 12:36 PM How does one recognise a fellow 'catter? I've been going to Bridgnorth since it started and only ever found a couple of 'catters - one running the lemonade stall and the other dressed in Red. John |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: John J Date: 03 Aug 06 - 10:00 AM Hi Noreen, The Tommy Saxondale thing confused me too...not difficult! BTW Tim (No1 son) starts his Masters at Manchester 'cos he STILL wants to bea librarian. See you at Sidmouth / South Zeal / Shrewsbury or whatever. John |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: GerryMc Date: 03 Aug 06 - 09:06 AM i'll be there as I'm playing bass with Flash Company. Just picked me up a bull fiddle. Insulating tape around me fingers and off I go. Also taking me geetar so will probs do some sessions and stuff. I suspect Ani may be pointing her camera at people. And it's good line up too |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: Noreen Date: 03 Aug 06 - 08:10 AM Hi JJ, and everyone else going to Shrewsbury! We'll be stewarding, and looking forward to a good sing or two. (Can someone explain the 'Tommy Saxondale' reference please? Means nothing to me.) |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: John J Date: 03 Aug 06 - 04:10 AM Hello Noreen. :-) J |

Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: Herga Kitty Date: 02 Aug 06 - 12:33 PM NormanD - thanks, I wondered if I'd dreamt the bit where Tommy Saxondale mentioned Shrewsbury festival! Kitty |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: Moses Date: 02 Aug 06 - 07:23 AM Looks like it should be every bit as good if not better than Bridgnorth. Good to hear Moor & Coast are on the campsite so we won't have to trek for breakfast. Are Eddie and Maureen going to be there with their great Carribean food? If so don't miss a chance to sample the jerk chicken or chicken curry. Can't wait. I'm going and so is The Ref. Mudcat gathering? Anyone know? Christine |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: muppitz Date: 02 Aug 06 - 07:03 AM Not a correction as such, more information, but Moor & Coast are going to be on the campsite rather than being on the main ground with all the other traders. I'll be there all weekend flipping burgers and stuff with the boys! muppitz x |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: NormanD Date: 01 Aug 06 - 12:09 PM According to last night's episode, Tommy Saxondale and his missus are going (he, reluctantly....). |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: Dave Roberts Date: 01 Aug 06 - 06:37 AM I picked up a (very professional) flyer recently. Shrewsbury looks like being everything a good festival should be. |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: Trevor Date: 01 Aug 06 - 05:01 AM Just a minor correction, the campsite is on the County SHOW Ground, also known as the West Midlands Showground. I think the county cricket team play on the outskirts of town so don't go there! (The map is pretty good anyway). The Quarry will be a great venue, alongside the river, and for those who don't know it, Shrewsbury iks a lovely place. Anybody wants gen on pubs, restaurants etc let me know. Can't wait! |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: kab Date: 29 Jul 06 - 02:01 PM The camping is on two sites about a quarter mile apart. The Quarry site is where the marquees will be sitedand offers some camping which is all allocated and there are no vacancies here. The main camping is on the County Cricket Ground and it is very flat,quite extensive and extendable. There will be catering(Moor and Coast and others) on site and showers will be available in addition to the usual loos. The Shrewsbury Festival website has a good map and an aerial picture or two showing the locations and their proximity to each other and to shops etc. |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: GUEST,Ian Pittaway Date: 29 Jul 06 - 01:20 PM I'll be there for the w/e. Since it'll the first time at Shewsbury, no idea what the camping will be like. |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: George Papavgeris Date: 29 Jul 06 - 04:30 AM I'll be there Saturday, possibly also Sunday morning |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: My guru always said Date: 29 Jul 06 - 04:19 AM Am going! Will watch this thread for details of pub sings etc, looking forward to this 'new' festival... |
Subject: RE: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: Mo the caller Date: 28 Jul 06 - 04:50 PM I've got a brochure which promises pub sessions, workshops, singarounds & shanty sessions. No details given on leaflet or website |
Subject: Shrewsbury Folk Festival From: GUEST,Tony five bellies Date: 14 Jul 06 - 07:29 AM Is anyone going to the new Shrewsbury Folk Festival? It looks like a fantastic line up. What is the campsite like and will there be any pub sessions? Tony five bellies |
