Those 'catters who (I hope!) will be joining me on the Sheffield - Edale Folk Train on Tuesday August 28th 2001, need to be aware that there is an additional 'through' train which leaves Sheffield at 1910 (7:10pm), just six minutes before the Folk Train!

The Folk Train departs at 1916 (7:16pm) - if you catch the wrong train, well...!!

If you need more info, either email me, or visit my website, where you will find phone numbers and links.

See you there?
Bernard

Do the Manchester / Edale and the Sheffield / Edale folk trains run on the same night?

I'd love to get a return ticket to Sheffield, catch the Manchester bit on the way, go to The Ramblers, get on the Sheffield 'home' train and then get the last train back to Manchester

Manchester-Edale runs on the 2nd Tuesday of the month, Sheffield-Edale on the fourth.

It would be 'interesting' if they did run on the same night! The Rambler gets crowded enough as it is, without there being two 'turns' competing as well!!

;o)

Don't know about the 'radio 2 fol/acoustic message board' - p'raps someone could post a blicky, or the address?

As for the train, we get the latest, streamlined, quiet, comfortable... who am I kidding?! Yup - the same old clapped out biscuit tins with most of the springs missing... what else??!

Part of the 'fun' is trying to drown out the noise of the train!! I learned the art of incorporating it into the act - you can't beat it, so join it!

The Rambler is a bit of a problem since it's been re-vamped.  We played outdoors last time, as the room we used to use has been cut in half by the brewers' people, and really isn't suitable any more.  Good luck!

Thanks for the link, Roger! Hope to see you there!

Oh, and this time, beat me about the head until I play Dark Island for you!!

Mmmm... playing outdoors... that will depend on the weather! I was last at the Rambler in January - has the layout changed since then? It was 'cosy'... a few sardines outside looking through the window, pointing, laughing...

Woops! Just checked the source - put too many quotes in...

Maybe a JoeClone can tidy things up?!

Sorry Roger - we're at crossed purposes!

I've not been on the Beeb site before - I just posted the 'ad' and logged off!

Maybe when I've a little more time I'll have another look!!

Thanks to everyone who turned up - it was a 'good do'!!

I was particularly pleased to see a few Manchester regulars at the Rambler!

IMHO the room hasn't suffered in the refurbishment - if anything, removing the fireplace has made more room at the 'turn' end, and the people in the end room can see more of what's going on.

Next time, though, I think I may work from the middle of the room, down by the new fireplace, - less problems with noise from the bar, and not as far to project for the end room. Some changes can be for the better!
