Twice a year we are kicked out of our favourite pasture to acomodate you lot of itinerate humans. Of course dear Richard is always welcome, but the rest of his flock churn up our grass, put tents and caravans on it, set fire to our dust hole,cook our relatives, and make a lot of noise. We are glad that leopards are going to be there. Maybe they'll eat you, especially the loud bloke with a hat!

No, there is no website as such. Note the points made by Fisheye above. Kampervan, if that is really you you should be able to message or contact me via Dead Horse or Gong Scourers (or Freedom Puffin) and I will be able to put you in contact with the right people, or you should be able to find Folkmob directly, or you could talk to the people who drank and got eaten by mosquitos outside your van and another at last Aylesford.

Fascinating. Mr Google says that there is no other mention of "Breda O'Toole" anywhere on the Mudcat. Sort of creates an implication about "Steve Jones",doesn't it?

Great stuff I fanally managed to contact Breda O'Toole and she said that she will be coming with her other nurse mates from Bromley! they haven't been for a couple of years but said they are looking forward to getting stuck into the free booze! I think it's going to be a great Knockholt.

I think permit is needed if you are felling trees or scavenging wood in forest. I don't think a ranger will come onto privately owned land after someone cutting up purchased wood.

RB decisions are made by the FM committe, like most things you will always get the few jumping up and down shouting it's my ball and you cannot play.

For 16 yrs the FM knockholt has been running as an enlarged family gathering. It has grown as the club grew. Mudcat introduced new folk music loving friends to our little family.
You folks know who you are and where we camp.

That's it..lets keep it a little quiet and enjoy what we have.

To the best of my knowledge I am a Folkmob member of some years standing. The relevance of this is less than wholly clear in that last year I was told that it was actually Lady Raffles and Mick's private party and that decisions were not a matter for anyone else.

ya know... the Facebook page could be by invitation only and I just looked... there is no indication of exactly where the campsite is. We certainly got lost enough trying to find it with directions. Pity the one who tries to crash it with no knowledge of where it might be.

TY Royston... I is one of da fambly now.


I still like flokmob.

VT and TSO, you are part of the fabric of this merry band of delinquent noise-makers, as well you know...

Everyone is welcome, I think there were concerns about a facebook page for it, that's all. Concerns that it might run ahead of anyone's will and desire to "manage" a folk "festival" - which Knockholt isn't.

are we invited? I know we were last year and we were caravan guests of Fisheye and FairMaid. But now we have our own van, are we still invited? How does one get membership to Folkmob?


p.s. I quite liked the misnomer Flokmob especially in relation to the ovine fixation of Knockholt threads

Royston et al : "crapping in carrier bags and the like." Not a very nice thought at all. Still, its more dignified than the sheep who were doing it everywhere on that Thursday morning a couple of years ago.

Nooo, there is no misery at Knockholt. Not unless it rains all weekend, but that has never happened (much).

Don't fret, fisheye was rightly concerned - if I drew the right inference - that a facebook page for knockers could lead to unexpected consequences - like 2,000 people turning up on a field with 3 portaloos. Stranger things have happened in facebook-land.

It is a private gathering for members and friends of the "Folkmob" folk-club, and it's only planned and prepared as such - all fokies are welcome really, but let Folkmob know if non-members / regulars want to attend in numbers - else we will all be crapping in carrier bags and the like.

Message Ladyraffles on here or fisheye, or woodsie or email [e-mail]

Peace and harmony...
