. . . Radio 2 nastiness . . . all over now. I'm done with them all . . .

While far from being an apologist for Mike Harding and the Smoothies, I think it ought to be made clear that Lizzie Cornish was banned from the BBC forum after refusing to cease posting reams of off-topic, offensive drivel and generally being a disruptive, flaming nuisance.

Yes TB,

I think we might do well to attend that meeting if possible, and get some idea of the likely future, and how we can help.

I'm not involved in any way with the organisation, but started this thread as a personal attempt to gain insight into the opinions of fellow catters.

It has fulfilled that purpose rather well, and I shall refresh it for a couple more days, then let it drift.

Finance, as you say, is a huge limiting factor. I am what's classified as low paid, and my yearly trip to Sidmouth comes at the price of spending the other two weeks of my summer holiday sitting at home.

That, I guess, is the measure of my committment.

It does strike me however, that the prices complained of would not raise an eyebrow as admission fees to individual events.

It is only when they are put together in a very small time span that they seem high.

Each event costs the same to stage in either scenario, so a discount for bulk is really a non starter.

I have a similar problem running a folk club, and hearing people complain about an admission policy which supplies three hours of good entertainment for less than the price of a pint of bitter (we are in Kent and bitter is £2.20 average).

Our costs suffer the same inflation as everyone else's, but any rise in fees is greeted with howls of anguish.

Beats me

Don T.

This will be my first Sidmouth!! Personally i can't wait, although i would have preferred a "Festival" arrangement as has been in place in previous years in which a "season ticket" covered most events AND camping...

I have found it quite difficult to decide which events to book tickets for (though Show of Hands was my one definite).

I have finally arranged my camping at the Thorn site, although Mr Burroughs seemed to not be that bothered about my booking and does not seem to want to tell me where the site actually is, or how to get to it O_o (can anyone help me out with that - website or directions??)

So... my opinion:
I am looking forward to my first "Folk Week" being a small (comparitively - Q spelling?) event. It will allow me to 'get-to-know' Sidmouth and the festival. I would REALLY like to see a return to the larger international/big names style event in the future... mainly because i always miss out on Cambridge tickets and also i have limited transport options making bigger events difficult to actually get to...(luckily, my Dad is bringing me, my best friend and all our stuff to Sidmouth this year!)

Do we like selling lemonade? Oh yes we do! We'll sing as we work too, got to keep up the practice! Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go. Yep that's what we'll be doing while you guys are singing and making merry. Some of us have to work, all day and most of the evening as there'll be a ceilidh in the marquee in the Blackmoor Gardens I believe. Hot sweaty dancers, just what we need.

Ticket sales are slow because we, like others who live far afield, will not be buying ours until we arrive.

Hallelujah!

At long last an admission that Sidmouth ticket sales are slow.

I bet you do wonders for the various promoters blood pressure by saying you won't buy till you arrive - that must really help their pre-event cash-flow and assist with the advance deposits they'll have to pay for infrastructure and some artistes.

Besides, wasn't the whole reason Steve Heap withdrew the fact that he couldn't take the risk that bad weather would hit the 'point-of-sale' income on which he depended?

If nobody buys in advance (and anyone in the know knows that sales for all but a couple of concerts are dreadfully slow) then there is every chance some promoters will get cold feet and cancel the shows before the Folk week begins.

Surely when so many people have put their own money at risk to make the Folk week happen, supposed supporters like Big Mal could splash out a few quid on advance ticket purchases?

Put your money where your mouth is Mal!

I believe the Sidmouth Festival should have finished last year,with the expensive of a whole ticketthis year its over £300 with camping.I look back now and wonder how Steve Heap did a ticket so cheap.
I hear he is still looking at some spare land in Wales to organise a festival in the future.
I would be very worried as an organiser now if my tickets had not sold by now.

On the other hand Stevie....those 'Guests' might not be you at all....but...how are the Ssss..snakes anyway? ;0) Just don't let them loose down my end of town will you!! ;0) ;0)

Guest above...."....spare land in Wales..." Blimey! Don't let John Prescott know, he'll build dozens of new towns on it before you can say "Sidmouth Folk Week!" Hope Steve Heap nips in there quick and puts his flag on it! ;0)

Apologies for typing words backwards on the post above. Too much sun! It has been absolutely glorious down here in Sidmouth today. The sea is so warm, went paddling...got soaking wet....it was wonderful...really cooled us down. There were kids climbing all over the rock islands, people wilting on the Esplanade wall, ice-creams dripping faster than they could lick them! Little toddlers running on the sand and chasing the waves out to sea and shrieking with fright and laughter when the waves came back and got them all wet. I love it when tiny ones do that.

In fact it was so hot down on the beach that we ended up in Connaught Gardens, under a lovely shady tree. Much better idea! Then later we went into Exmouth and walked along the beach there, but it's so different from Sidmouth. It's nice to have sand all the time, but the sound of Jet-Skis whizzing up and down at about 50 miles an hour was horrendous, as was the smell of the fumes from their engines! That, together with the Boy-racers zooming up and down Exmouth Esplanade with their 'Boom Boom Music' at 60,000 decibels was just too much!!

Have we all gone mad? Whatever happened to the sound of the sea?

It makes you realise how special Sidmouth is when you come back from all that. Just the sea....no jet-ski engines, no fumes, just tranquility and that peace which enables you to hear the gentle swish swish of the waves.

Oh no! I'm getting old aren't I? I'll be saying what a good idea deck chairs are soon, won't I?

News is that we're supposed to have hail stones the size of golf balls tonight! EEK! So...Stevie...get your snakes to high ground else they'll float off down the River Sid!

Well, Guest of 5.30pm, that surely takes the biscuit. Of all the posts to make to a site which supports folk music, i cannot think of one reason why anyone would post the one you just made. For whatever reason you did it, i hope that you read it again and feel ashamed. Whether you were an attender of the previous Sidmouth event or not, I can think of no reason why anyone, who supported folk music in any form, would want to wish an event ill, in such patent terms.

For my part, i cannot get to Sidmouth in 2005 but I hope to go in 2006. To offer such mealy-mouthed criticism says a lot more about you than it does about the event which will take place in 2005.

Oh - bollocks - sod being pc - I feel more strongly than I may have expressed in my previous posting. To have suggested that you will laugh at the efforts of people who have gone to considerable lengths to continue a tradition - any sodding tradition (and a constantly evolving effing tradition, as many of you are at such pains to support) - is bloody pathetic.

Bollocks too to feeding the trolls - I will feed you - I hope sincerely that you are made to eat your own words and that Sidmouth continues. Not because I have ever been there or want to protect any self interests of my own - but just to deprive you of any semblance of smug-self-satisfaction. Sidmouth as it was is gone - for better or for worse - take your bat home if you must - I will lend mine if necessary.

Blimey, someone's finally admitted that Steve Heap gave good value for money. Yes, he did, under very challenging circumstances, for which much thanks.

Yes, the festival has evolved over 50 years, with and without the Arena. It's still offering a really good week's entertainment.

I'm looking forward to it. A week-long party in a gorgeous part of the Jurassic Coast, with friends old and new.

The people who have been knocking the Sidmouth Folk Week because they want the Arena back haven't contributed anything positive to help get it. So they'll just have to get what they want where they can find it. And we'll just have a good time in Sidmouth anyway.

Don and Big Mal - I hope to see both of you in Sidmouth next month.

Hi everyone I'm really sorry I was such a negative jerk earlier on. Being mentally prepubescent I forgot that no one is interested in such vitriolic self absorbed bile.
My Mum always says I should grow up when she's cleaning my room before I go to my Star Wars doll collectors club. Perhaps she has a point. Perhaps if I became a more rounded interesting person I might one day stop posting from behind the sofa and have the guts to reveal my name. Maybe then I might even get a girl/boyfriend or any sort of friend for that matter. Until then I shall probably relapse into sending the sort of rubbish you are use to getting from me. If I do, please ignore it and just fell sorry for a lonely pathetic individual with no prospects of a fulfilling existance.

Hi Kitty,

Certainly hope to meet you down there. I tend to spend afternoons at the Bedford sessions, and do other things later in the day, when the Bedford can get a bit too noisy for a singer with a guitar. Look me up 11.00am onward. I'll be the big, long haired oaf with Wysiwyg printed on the scratch plate, and no front teeth.

I will be visiting the middle bar also this year. I've promised MBSLynne that I'll only use the guitar as a footrest.

35 days to go Cat! Excited Smiley!!!

Blowzabella....could you start up your own Political Party please 'cos I'd vote for you like a shot! ;0) Thank you....you said it all for me, but far better! :0)

Well....it started thundering down here in Sidmouth at 5am. It's still going on now at 11.30am. I've seen the worst lightning I've ever seen and heard the loudest thunder I've ever heard....haven't had the golf ball sized hailstorms yet, but I'm sure there must be a lot of flooding over Devon and Cornwall. Unbelievable rain!! AND as the lightning is still going I can't even take my Show of Hands umbrella for a dance down to the seafront. :0(

And no 'Guest'....I won't go out specially for you and dance in the lightning under my brolly!..... ;0)

Reminds me of the 'first week in August' and slipping down that hill, thank goodness the weather won't stop all the concerts this year.

Look what I've found for you:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/r2music/folk/harding/playlist.shtml

You can tune in and here Eddie Upton talking about the 50-80 morris teams, how there is going to be even more on the seafront, how the bars are all booked up and well...basically sounding extremely happy. Only a short snippet mind. Could have been a lot longer Mike, slapped wrist!!!!

It's 31 minutes into the show so click on 'Listen Again' and then press the fast forward 15 mins button twice, which will take you to the end of Whapweazel, then Eddie is on....and THEN...SHOW OF HANDS are on!

What a way to spend a Friday listening to 'Cousin Jack' and imaganing all those Cornish Miners leaving their beloved Country for distant shores, just as many of their descendants may be having to do in this day and age as they can no longer afford to live there, in the Country they so love!

Hope you enjoy it anyway.

You could indeed listen to the whole show, that's why I put the thread up with a list of the music played. Karan Casey was brilliant. However, this thread is about Sidmouth, thus I suggested doing things the quick way, as I'm sure that a lot of people tune in to Mudcat from work, so I thought I'd be helpful and tell you EXACTLY where Mike started to interview Eddie Upton. Obviously I assumed that those who wanted to would listen to the entire show.

I'd also like to say that I thought the BBC were very mean-spirited in giving just 1 minute and 15 seconds to interviewing Eddie and half of that time was taken up by Mike.

If you're going to do something, then do it with an open heart, arms wide open, a huge smile of welcome on your face and a very willing spirit!

The BBC have put all their money into Cambridge this year. I think that gets overlooked in all this, that not only did EDDC withdraw their money but the BBC withdrew their sponsorship too, making it EVEN harder for the organisers to work on keeping Sidmouth alive.

But they've done it, without EDDC or the BBC, despite all the nasty things that have been said about them on here and the Radio 2 site, despite EVERYTHING!

I've nothing but pure admiration for all of them.

34 days to go...35 if you include today of course, but I'm already on tomorrow! ;0)

We are counting the days... to seeing friends old and new, listening to good music, some excellent storytellers, joining in with top class singers who frequent the pubs... and working our socks off to entertain others. Like so many others, I am giving up my holiday to come to Sidmouth and perform, for nothing, for 5 days. Apart from doing Unsung Heroes with Cornwall Songwriters in the Manor Pavilion (plug, plug) and Spirit in the Storm (all you pagans out there I expect a good turnout!!!), I'm booked in to do other sessions and spots all week. Why? Because it is my heritage and I'm not going to sit back and let it fade away for the glory of some who enjoy sitting back and saying I told you so then moaning that there's no folk around anymore. At least some of us are trying to keep folk, in all it's guises, alive. So, all you winghers, shut up. This was meant to be a positive thread, so lets keep it that way. Now, who's coming to Sidders?

Oh, she's just pissed off because the BBC finally got round to banning her from bingeposting disruptive tripe. Has she really got a shell? As well as a broomstick?

I started out this thread for the purpose of getting an answer to one question, which has been a partial success, as far as I am concerned.

Now it has been hijacked by the Let's bash Sidmouth brigade. and their hardcore let's bash Lizzie section.

I think I've finished with it now, so all you trolls can have a good time.

My thanks to those who responded on topic, who have improved my understanding of the weight of opinion in either direction. I am grateful to you.

Don T.

P.S. For Cittern.

I don't think this is what the "folk world" has to offer, John. It's more a case of a small group who move around the Mudcat scene spreading bile and vitriol for purely disruptive purposes.

The constant baiting of Lizzie Cornish is a case in point. If they so hated her posts on Radio 2 website, why would they follow her everywhere she goes, doing exactly what they accuse her of doing there.

These clowns have nothing to do with folk music IMO. You will find them on every forum, 'tho they seem to prefer Mudcat because they don't get moderated out here.
