Subject: Session For Jacqui and Kendall From: Catherine Jayne Date: 22 Nov 04 - 03:36 PM There will be a session for Jacqui and Kendall at the back bar of the Black Lion Pub in Plaistow starting off at about 4pm. The pub has an excellent selection of real ales and a friendly atmosphere. Do come along and celebrate Jacqui and Kendall's recent wedding! Hope to see many of you there Khatt |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui and Kendall From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 22 Nov 04 - 03:38 PM Some indication of the date might be handy. |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui and Kendall From: Catherine Jayne Date: 22 Nov 04 - 03:38 PM Oooppss...forgot to tell you the date!!....Sunday 5th December!! |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui and Kendall From: MaineDog Date: 22 Nov 04 - 05:31 PM Is Plaistow in New Hampshire, or Maine, or England, or ??? MD (who could attend in the first two cases) |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui and Kendall From: Herga Kitty Date: 22 Nov 04 - 05:42 PM No, it's Plaistow in the East End of London, and the same pub where Micca and Khatt organised the Catters gathering for Kendall and Sorcha in April. (I've posted to the BS thread to point out that Haddenham folk day in Buckinghamshire is the day before.) Kitty |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui and Kendall From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 22 Nov 04 - 05:42 PM Well, there is a Plaistow in New Hapmpshire, but this one is in London. You'll have to wait till they get back and organise a "welcome back" session. |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui and Kendall From: GUEST,Julia & Fred Date: 22 Nov 04 - 06:33 PM Darn! we could actually have made it if it were in NH. Phoowey!!Actually, I wondered why we had not heard of this wondrous pub before We'll just have to find a convenient and convivial alehouse that night in the Portland (Maine) area, toast in their honor and then do it again when they get back. Anyone care to join us after our gig in Kennebunkport? BTW Cheers tae the both of yez, Jacqui & Kendall J&F |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui and Kendall From: Midchuck Date: 22 Nov 04 - 06:41 PM If a "welcome back" session got organized in New Hampshire, some of us Vermonters could come over - if it weren't blizzarding. Peter. |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui and Kendall From: Shanghaiceltic Date: 22 Nov 04 - 06:43 PM See you there. I will be coming up from Bristol way on that Sunday afternoon, anyone need a lift along the M4 corridor? You can test my Chinese style driving!!!! |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui and Kendall From: My guru always said Date: 22 Nov 04 - 07:06 PM Bu**er, got a spotlight gig that evening in St Albans! Hmmmm.... wonder if I could make a detour, I'll have a think!! |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaisto From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 23 Nov 04 - 12:22 AM Hi Khatt. I live very close to Newark, which is also on their itinerary. On the other hand, the prospect of meeting up with jOhn too, at another point along the tour, is very tempting. But on the third hand, Plaistow looks like being my best chance. So the third hand it is. See you in the Black Lion. |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: Ellenpoly Date: 23 Nov 04 - 02:29 AM I'm planning on getting there by hook or crook (interesting phrase, that). ..xx..e |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: jacqui.c Date: 23 Nov 04 - 07:25 AM Sounds like this is going to be good. I would like to make one request. Kendall is still getting over the laser surgery on his vocal cords and is unable to tolerate a smoky atmosphere. I know we can't stop any pub locals from smoking but it would be appreciated if Mudcatters could avoid smoking in the vicinity. I feel a bit bad asking this but it would mean that he could enjoy the session more. |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaisto From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 23 Nov 04 - 07:42 AM Perhaps there could be Christmas Carols outside for people who are dying for a smoke. (That's another interesting phrase...) |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: Micca Date: 23 Nov 04 - 07:44 AM Yeah It is McGrath but what if Carol cant be there? |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: manitas_at_work Date: 23 Nov 04 - 08:02 AM It's amazing isn't it? The thread title says "..5th Dec. Plaistow UK.." and people are complaining that Kat isn't indicating when and where. Admittedly there are several Plaistows in the Uk but it does say UK. Ellen, the District Line is a better bet. Oh, I dare say Liz, Limpit and I will be there. |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: Leadfingers Date: 23 Nov 04 - 08:06 AM The BAD News is I havent got a gig that day , which means the GOOD news is I will be there !! |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: My guru always said Date: 23 Nov 04 - 09:10 AM Ah Manitas, if you look at the first post you'll see that the title didn't have Plaistow on it, presumably due to title length. I wonder if a helpful JoeClone has added it on perhaps? |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: The Unicorn Man Date: 23 Nov 04 - 09:14 AM If anyone wants to practise before hand, we are having a 12 hour Singaround at The Bull in Barton le Clay. Beds. On Sat Dec 4th 12 noon til 12 midnight. Come and go as you please kind of thing. |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: IanC Date: 23 Nov 04 - 10:32 AM Coincidentally, it's also the Ashwell village session's 10th birthday at The Rose & Crown, High Street, Ashwell. We started with a "Marathon Singalongathon" (sing, say, pay or play) 10 years ago and we're doing the same again 12-5 on Saturday 4th December. Jacqui, you're welcome along and bring Kendall. It's the Ashwell at Christmas, so there'll be a few things going on in the morning (it's a bit low key this year) and the church choir have promised to join us near the start and sing a few carols etc. Much love Ian |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: Ellenpoly Date: 23 Nov 04 - 01:47 PM Someone remind me of which way I turn when I get out of the Plaistow Tube station? (I'll read this with my A to Z on my lap.) And yeah manitas, the District line makes the best sense since my reindeer are also on loan until the New Year. Jacqui, as per your request...thank you for making it. Kendall's as good an excuse as anyone, but it means I'll also be able to stay for more than a half (cough) an hour as well. I really hated having to leave early the last time (and my own fault for not having said anything.) ..xx..e |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: Catherine Jayne Date: 23 Nov 04 - 02:09 PM Ellen....when you come out of Plaistow tube station turn right. IF there is no general public we can request that no-one smokes. If people want to smoke they can go through to the other bar but we can't say no smoking if there are members of the public in the back bar as there is a sign on the door that says smoking allowed throughout. The pub isn't very busy on a Sunday so it shouldn't really be a problem. Hope to see many catter there who can make it! |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: Liz the Squeak Date: 23 Nov 04 - 04:41 PM You bet I'll be there!! I want to worship at Kendall's feet again, and with any luck, there'll be chocolate cake (major cake making workshop for Limpit's school bazaar the previous day) I'm sure we'll be doing some seasonal stuff regardless of where we are... I for one intend to! LTS |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: BusyBee Paul Date: 23 Nov 04 - 04:44 PM This brings back memories, mostly happy ones!. Born and brought up in Plaistow, The Black Lion was a favourite haunt once I was old enough to not get thrown out of pubs!. Unfortunately won't be there on the 5th as I've moved up north but I hope it all goes well. I'll be thinking of you all!. |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaisto From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 23 Nov 04 - 06:35 PM Kendall and Jaqui, McGrath's mention of carols reminds me that when you're travelling from Newark to 'Ull, take a detour along the A616 to catch one of the seasonal sessions of proper pub singing that are underway in south Yorkshire at this time of year (weekend lunchtimes and evenings). It's a stunning experience - daunting even - and utterly unique. HERE's a thread that explains the tradition; try PMing Malcolm Douglas for up-to-date info about this year's sessions. It would be crazy to get so close and miss the opportunity. |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaisto From: Midchuck Date: 23 Nov 04 - 06:52 PM Worship at Kendall's feet? Ye gods. Got to a war surplus store and get a gas mask... P. |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: Essex Girl Date: 24 Nov 04 - 08:30 AM Great, We'll be there even if I have to grovel to my son who will be revising for his mocks. (I'll leave him plenty of food to keep him going) Let's pray that Blackwall Tunnel will be open. |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: manitas_at_work Date: 24 Nov 04 - 11:38 AM My Guru, You're right and I apologise to those who queried the time and place before the title was expanded with the relevant information. I notice the thread title on the latter posts is varying a bit. Seems strange. |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: Pauline L Date: 24 Nov 04 - 12:33 PM I can't be there in person but I'll certainly be there in spirit. All my best wishes to Kendall and Jacqui. |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaisto From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 24 Nov 04 - 03:09 PM Manitas, it seems to be open season for renaming, amalgamating and otherwise knocking around threads in mid-flow. It leaves some posts looking odd (for instance referring to a thread originator who is no longer the thread originator, or referring to an earlier post that has disappeared). I did query the policy, but other catters seemed happy with the results. |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: Lanfranc Date: 24 Nov 04 - 05:28 PM We'll be there, all being well. Being, like Earth, "mostly armless", I'm getting used to reviving my unaccompanied repertoire with perhaps the odd (very!) bowed psaltery intro. Hope to see Jacqui and Kendall in Hertford as well, but the Black Lion gatherings are always fun and worth the trip. Alan |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: Liz the Squeak Date: 24 Nov 04 - 05:47 PM If anyone needs a kip space, we have floor and possibly cat-ridden sofa bed available. LTS |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: kendall Date: 24 Nov 04 - 05:53 PM LIZ! you are embarrassing me, but don't stop. As I recall, the Black Lion has a smoke eater? or was that in another pub? If the smokers could gather it the area of that thing, it shouldn't be a problem. |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: Morticia Date: 24 Nov 04 - 07:01 PM we hope to be there too......look forward to seeing you all. |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: Shanghaiceltic Date: 24 Nov 04 - 11:50 PM Will definately be there. I was going to drive up to Cambridge after the session but have now decided against it on the grounds I am going to enjoy one or two beers. I will be subtley diguised in my Shanghai Hairy Crabs rugger shirt! |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: Liz the Squeak Date: 25 Nov 04 - 03:30 AM Hairy Crabs? No, don't say anything, I just want to keep the image of a spider crab in a toupee....... Fiddler crab with an afro wig..... Ooooohhhh LTS |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: Dave Bryant Date: 25 Nov 04 - 05:17 AM Linda and I should be able to make it. Incidently here's a map showing the approximate posisition of the aforementioned hostelry. Guru, it shouldn't take you too long to get to Snorbans from Plaistow - straight up the M11 and around the M25 to J22. |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: Catherine Jayne Date: 27 Nov 04 - 06:03 PM ~Refresh~ |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: Fortunato Date: 27 Nov 04 - 06:27 PM Hey, catsPHizzle, give them both a big, wet, kiss from me. cheers, chance |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaisto From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 27 Nov 04 - 06:55 PM Good train service from Snorbens to St Pancras, and then it's only about half an hour on the tube to Plaistow. It's a great feeling, sitting in a friendly pub, knowing you've left your car at home. |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: My guru always said Date: 28 Nov 04 - 05:27 PM Right that's it! I'm definitely coming, gig or no gig! See you all there *grin* |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: Col K Date: 29 Nov 04 - 05:03 PM And I will be there as well, looking foreward to meeting Kendall again. |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaisto From: Dead Horse Date: 30 Nov 04 - 12:37 PM Me & *Herself with the smokin' feet* may very well make it, if she aint too knackered from struttin' her stuff that morning. Has the pub got a wooden floor, or will she have to bring her own? |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: SINSULL Date: 30 Nov 04 - 01:09 PM I left Captain and Mrs. Morse at the airpost at 4:45AM this morning. They were travelling like gypsies (sorry InObu) with boxes and bags and... Take care of them when they arrive, don't overfeed them, and I expect the pair returned in the same condition as they were sent. |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: Liz the Squeak Date: 30 Nov 04 - 07:20 PM The end where we usually are is carpeted but the other side of the pub has a wooden floor. And a big television. LTS |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: fiddler Date: 30 Nov 04 - 07:29 PM Hi guys probably won't be there - in Oxford all day - will be tooo toooo knackered probly! Hugs tom all though Andy |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: Liz the Squeak Date: 03 Dec 04 - 08:14 PM Only a matter of hours to go.... looking forward to kicking back and drinking beer, after a fraught week finishing cards for a bazaar tomorrow. LTS |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: Micca Date: 05 Dec 04 - 06:15 AM Its today so come and Refresh!! |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaisto From: Dead Horse Date: 05 Dec 04 - 06:43 AM I shall be there, and mayhap I shall partake of the excellent food & ales. And if a local should wander in, challenge him to a contest of the darts....... |
Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: The Unicorn Man Date: 05 Dec 04 - 07:03 AM Cheers Micca for yesterday. We all managed to stay intacked until midnight. See you soon |
