Is there such a thing in the UK as a dating agency for folkies?! Or for musicians in general?!

I think you're on it! Mudcat seems to fulfil that purpose!

Now then "Looking for Lurv", are you just after a quick shag when you go to a gig or are you looking for a long relationship :-)

You haven't provided any details of yourself.

If I was looking for a quick shag then I wouldn't be 'looking for lurve'. I have never and never plan to have one-offs. I haven't given any details about myself as this is not a dating agency! Maybe Mudcat should start one?! Please?! Single folkies or musicians are so difficult to find when you lack confidence in your own charms to the opposite gender - even if most of your time in folk clubs is spent performing.

I always found folk festivals to fulfill that need. I met my husband (among many others!!!) at Sidmouth

Love Lynne

perhaps its cos I'm getting old, but there never seems quite the mood of abandon that there used to be in folk clubs. Perhaps because of the drink drive laws being enforced - it all seems a bit subdued. Also there aren't as many really funny acts. I used to love Brownsville Banned.

Paul from Hull.. I don't have a caravan but I do have a tent and my own mallet... would that do?

*LOL*

Why does that mallet worry me slightly, & is it right that it should?

I take it, then, that the answer to my original question is 'no. Ah well.

I wonder what it says about my basic personality that, despite being married and, sort of, settled, I still get an almost overwhelming urge to reply (or apply) to these 'ads'...even the harem one.....?

Love (in the nicest possible way) Lynne

Just want to say to "Looking for Lurve" that I for one think it is a good idea! But I guess everyone is right, Mudcat is about as close as we have to that concept. Maybe we could start a "Mudcat singles chat?"

Subject: RE: BS: Looking for lurve
From: Big Al Whittle
Date: 12 Oct 06 - 10:51 AM

but the MBSLynne couldn't join in, if it were for singles......I can see how the mudcat thing would help people who feel nervous about using a forum where there might be all sorts of strange people.

god knows some of us are strange enough....

Great singles ad, Paul from Hull. Best laugh I've had all day. Reminds me of a song I heard on the radio last weekend whose refrain goes,

"I don't just need a friend;
I need a friend with a truck."

Good luck. I hope you find your lass.

That wasn't too well thought out - I'll try again.

I get the feeling its going to be a long search for some of us.

Perhaps, a nice night out at the pub might be a better option.

Seems to work better for Brits than Yanks.... I know of 5 Brits who have become 'hitched' via the Mudcat, but only 1 Yank.

Still...... it has provided a lot of pleasure for a lot of others.

I'm keeping my trousers well and truly fastened till I am one hundred percent sure that isn't harmful in any way!

And liz - how much pleasure precisely? and how many of us? ;-)

And What exactly happens at these mudcat gatherings? now I'm starting to realize what has kept some of you here for so long!
