Subject: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Tim Salt Date: 26 Mar 00 - 05:49 PM My local folk club - Folk At The Globe, Topsham, Devon would like to contact Barry Dransfield to offer a booking but are having difficulty finding him. Can anybody help locate him, or Barry, if you're there.........please get in touch.
Incidently we meet every Sunday at 8.30 pm - mainly singers nights with occassional guests (when we can find them!) Singers and audience always welcome. Tim |

Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 26 Mar 00 - 07:48 PM According to his current label, Rhiannon Records, he's in Hastings. Have you tried contacting them? Their website is at: http://www.rhiannonrecords.co.uk/text/home.html BR>Malcolm |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Abby Sale Date: 27 Mar 00 - 11:51 AM Send me your e-mail address and I'll pass it on to him. I don't know if he wants his address public or not. He is in the process of moving houses recently & may be busy but is probably ok by now. |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Tim Salt Date: 27 Mar 00 - 12:56 PM Thanks for all the suggestions. Tim |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 27 Mar 00 - 02:55 PM He's been in Hastings for a long time - almost as long as the Jack in the Green..... He appeared at Towersey either last year or the one before and is sounding better than ever - any sign of the old trouble has gone, and he did a darn sight better than Martin Carthy who buggered up two songs in one set!! Mrs Caseys' music might be able to help with a contact address or agent. LTS |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Micca Date: 27 Mar 00 - 04:59 PM I think I may have made a Ricket, is it the singer/guitar player or the Fiddler/singer you are after???? I can NEVER remember which is which. The singer/Guitar player was who I was referring to when I said I "understood he was in Cornwall" the fiddle player/singer is as Liz tS said , in Hastings. |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Tim Salt Date: 28 Mar 00 - 02:57 PM I think we are talking fidlle player Micca, but what the heck is a Ricket!!!!!! Tim |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Lanfranc Date: 28 Mar 00 - 05:19 PM A ricket is a ricket-ache - rhyming slang for a mistake. I always confuse Robin and Barry - which one is in Hastings, and is the other in Cornwall? Still rate "Tidewave" as one of my favourite albums, though. |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Micca Date: 28 Mar 00 - 06:08 PM Yeah Its Brilliant, Alan, do you know they released aretrospective double CD last year? calle "Up to now" the best of the Dransfields sofar... with stuff right back to the "Rout of the Blues" |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: GUEST,Matt Date: 16 May 00 - 04:52 PM I once borrowed a very bad cassette dupe of "Rout of the Blues" and fell in love with the whole album. Any ideas where one might find a copy of those great old recordings? I picked up the retrospective CD, very nice of course, but just a tease, if you know what I mean. I've been told that "Rout of the Blues" is something of a Holy Grail for Lp collectors. I hope that's not the case. |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 16 May 00 - 05:12 PM Rout of the Blues was on the Trailer label, so is now presumably locked away in the vaults of Celtic Music, with little prospect of re-release. Secondhand vinyl does turn up -Rockinworld has a VG copy listed at $30, here, but better condition would probably cost a good bit more. You could try emailing Little Pot Stove Records ( jdalton@easynet.co.uk) in case they can help. Malcolm |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Bonnie Shaljean Date: 09 Jan 02 - 09:38 AM I've only stumbled upon this thread now, a year and a half after the last entry about "Rout Of The Blues" was posted, so this may be old news but: You can now get a CD of it - the contact address on the cover is: C M Distribution, North Works, Hookstone Park, Harrogate, Yorkshire HG2 7DB. Or there's a folk retail site that can supply it: www.musikfolk.com I can pass messages on to Barry if anyone wants me to, but he's a very private person, is not on the internet or email, and he may not want to get into any dialogues. Still, one can but ask. He has talked about a new album he's working on, so I'll pass on whatever info he'll let me, when there are some hard facts. |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: mooman Date: 09 Jan 02 - 10:02 AM Hi Bonnie, Long time since I've seen your name and I've been out of the UK for over 10 years now. Are you still playing regularly? I still often play an old tape of yours I have! mooman |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Bonnie Shaljean Date: 09 Jan 02 - 02:37 PM Hi Mooman - Nice to hear from you. I'm not sure if there's a way to privately communicate via this Mudcat board (I'm new to it) but email me with your own address & I'll reply off-list. bonnieshaljean@eircom.net All the best, Bonnie |

Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Bonnie Shaljean Date: 09 Jan 02 - 02:57 PM Hi Ralph - Amazing! I was just surfing around in your thread to see if I could find a way of contacting you about the Threadbare Consort, and also about an ancient Nic cassette I have. Can you email me at the address above? Will someone please put me out of my misery and tell me how to contact individuals off-line (if there's a way) so I don't keep disrupting this list! Thanks - Hear from you soon I hope B xxx |

Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Bonnie Shaljean Date: 09 Jan 02 - 03:21 PM SOMEBODY, ANYBODY - PLEASE! HOW DO I "PM" ANYONE? WHAT IS A PM? HELP! IGNORANT MUDCAT NEWBIE HERE - I'LL BE GLAD TO GET IN TOUCH WITH EVERYBODY IF SOME KINDLY SOUL WILL ONLY TELL ME HOW! Since my own email is already posted above, here it is again: bonnieshaljean@eircom.net Thanks! B |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: jeffp Date: 09 Jan 02 - 03:44 PM Bonnie- To PM (send a personal message to) someone, go to the page where the thread titles are listed. In the top right-hand corner you will see a drop-down menu that says "Quick Links." Click on this and drag down to "Send a Personal Message." It should be fairly self-explanatory from there. You can read your own personal messages (a benefit of membership) by clicking on "Personal Pages" at the banner at the top of every page in Mudcat. More wonderful information about using this place is available by reading the Mudcat FAQ permathread (the top thread). Hope this helps and Welcome to Mudcat!! jeffp |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Ralphie Date: 09 Jan 02 - 06:04 PM Bonnie... Your PM worked!! The Mudcat never ceases to amaze me... I've rediscovered so many people through this slightly bizarre network... And, getting back to the thread...(Woops) Barry is in Hastings Maybe someone could throw a lot of money at him, to make him play again....Ah Well...'Twould be nice.. Bon, Hun ! Will contact you after I finish the new project Hugs Ralphie xxx |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Ned Ludd Date: 09 Jan 02 - 06:08 PM Hello Bonnie! I haven't seen you since the 'Singing Jenny' In Huddersfield with Packie **** years ago. That was MAGIC!(waxing nostalgic) Get in touch if you're still touring. |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: mooman Date: 09 Jan 02 - 06:19 PM Yowsa! Ned's message has just made me recall a memorable evening many, many moons ago playing music with Packie in Ardara! Bonnie, you're reviving many pleasant memories here! And Tim, sorry to highjack your thread with all this excitement! I do hope you managed to get the necessary info to contact Barry. The Dransfields were a big influence during my "formative period" (which has never actually finished!) All the best. mooman |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Ned Ludd Date: 09 Jan 02 - 06:24 PM Back to Barry, I forgot in the excitement... I seem to remember Barry Had someone ring us about a year ago looking for gigs. If I can find a contact I'll be back. |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Ralphie Date: 09 Jan 02 - 06:30 PM Moo You've had the Ardara experience too??? Good, isn't it !! Ralphie |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Abby Sale Date: 09 Jan 02 - 06:40 PM Hello Bonnie. Happy New Year to all. |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: mooman Date: 09 Jan 02 - 06:43 PM Dear Ralphie, Scarcely a better place on the planet! Best regards, moo |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Mr Red Date: 09 Jan 02 - 07:58 PM I saw Barry at Beverley FF a couple of years back. I never managed to see him in the 70's. By the way Tim, give my regards to Pete the Heckler, I may descend on Topsham after Crediton FF. |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: 53 Date: 09 Jan 02 - 10:22 PM check with banjio bonnie, i heard that she gets around. BOB |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: GUEST,a friend Date: 19 Jan 16 - 11:01 AM I saw a recent video of Barry but where is he now? |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Backwoodsman Date: 19 Jan 16 - 11:05 AM Hastings, IIRC. |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Vic Smith Date: 19 Jan 16 - 12:02 PM Brittany. |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Backwoodsman Date: 20 Jan 16 - 02:07 AM Good heavens Vic, how things change! Last I heard he had a workshop in Hastings - mind you, that was around the time of the release of 'Unruly'. A real shame that such a brilliant performer maintains such a low profile. |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Vic Smith Date: 20 Jan 16 - 04:37 AM Barry is in one of those phases in his life when he values isolation. |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: Backwoodsman Date: 20 Jan 16 - 08:07 AM His prerogative, of course! One of the best evenings I ever had was at the Royal Oak in Grimsby when Barry played there in the early '90s - phenomenal playing and singing. However, it's pointless being forced out to play if it's not what one wants to do. I wish Barry well in whatever he has chosen for himself. |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: GUEST,David Peacock Date: 22 Jan 20 - 10:52 AM Stumbled across this thread today. I have also being trying to trace Barry, I nearly caught up with him in Hasting several years ago but I think he had just moved to France. My interest is due to our friendship at school in the 50s/60s. If anyone is in touch with Barry could they just mention the incident of the blackboard rubber in a physics class around 1964, I'm sure it will bring back some interesting memories for him from our semi-educational escapades. |
Subject: RE: Barry Dransfield: Where Are You Now? From: GUEST,Ashley Date: 19 Feb 22 - 05:06 PM Just saw this thread as I was trying to find out where he was to , had many of laughs with Barry in the old town of Hastings.. long time since I’ve seen him tho .. wish him well wherever he is |
