Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Barry Finn Date: 28 Jul 09 - 09:44 PM We (Carole, Andrew & myself) are now in Swansea looking for my voice that I lost in Scarbrough & hoping to find it on Anglesey before we arrive, reguardless, we are hoping to drive out the mist & rain on our way up. Barry |
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 29 Jul 09 - 03:39 AM Mist and rain pretty much guaranteed I am afraid! But that won't stop the music and making merry! Looking forward to meeting you. |
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 29 Jul 09 - 05:24 AM Bass Harmony 'Right must go and put my bucket and spade in the Caravan.' So is this arrangement your solution to overcome the lack of conveniences on the campsite? Very lavish!! 8-) |
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 29 Jul 09 - 11:44 AM ............only one & a half days to go - hope the weather bucks up! |
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Barry Finn Date: 30 Jul 09 - 02:53 PM Hi All Is there anyone attending that's headed back to the Manchester area after the festival that I can accompany & spilt travel expenses with? I can leave the festival after it's over or continue camping till Monday morn. I have a train ticket for Monday late afternoon but thought riding with someone might be more enjoyable for all around. I'll be headed up that way to make my flight home on Wednesday morning. In the meantime if anyone any has suggestions on "folk" musical events, clubs, venues, sessions or sings in the Manchester area that's going on this coming Monday &/or Tuesday, day or evening I'd be very thankful for your input as well as any places to bed & board (cheap) for those couple days. I'll be able to check back here tonight & tomorrow morning, I don't think I'll be near a computer after that but will have my ears & eyes open & on at the festival Thanks, see you tomorrow Barry |

And thank you to everyone for all the appreciative comments after our appearance on Sunday afternoon. See you all again before too long. Bob, Dave and Ian, Lost In The Mist |
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Bass Harmony Date: 04 Aug 09 - 01:56 PM Yes it was brill We kept a bit of a head count and there were 70 people in the session room Friday and 50 on Sunday, Missed Saturday cause I was elsewhere, earning Sundays beer money.Not Bad for a little do. I thought some of the music in the garden was particularly nice. See you all around soon . My daughter sang about old mac donald and his slug all the way home. By the way when we got home we discovered a stow away in the bus......Any one missing a sheep ?????? Only it's eaten the vegetable patch and is making a start on the window boxes !! |
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 04 Aug 09 - 02:45 PM It was a lovely weekend and the sun shone on the rightious the whole time! Honestly it did! Just a little note, __ __ / / / / 0/0/ 0/0/ __ __ / / / / 0/0/ 0/0/ we all truly missed the good company and not to mention the good singing of both Vicki and Trefor this weekend but I have to say and I am sure you will all agree that the strength of feeling for this lovely couple was overwhelming really. I am sure our singing and music was sending positive thoughts to them both across the Welsh Hills! |
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 04 Aug 09 - 02:58 PM ok those looked like music notes when I made them and previewed them!! __ / / 0/0/ |
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 04 Aug 09 - 02:58 PM i give up! |
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Dave Roberts Date: 05 Aug 09 - 09:07 PM I too was very taken with Mr Happy's version of 'Old MacDonald', featuring eerily accurate impressions of the noises made by, among others, slugs, mute swans, worms and...er...sprouts. This inspired piece should be made part of the national curriculum as soon as possible. |
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 06 Aug 09 - 07:12 AM I'm very mollified that most of the congregation enjoyed my compositions. At one stage, I was a little miffed when the wild colonial boy accused me of removing the urine from traditional folksongs! Cheers y'all, & many congrats to Liz for magicing the superb weather, despite the ominous portents of the 'forecasters' Also, big gratitude to all who attended for making our weakend by the sea so pleasureable!! |
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 06 Aug 09 - 12:34 PM It wasn't half bad wasn't it, but of course being that I have a hotline to him what provides the weather... all part of the service! We have a date for next year, please put it in your diaries. 30th 31st July 1st August! See you all then! (if not before!) |
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Barry Finn Date: 06 Aug 09 - 06:52 PM Thanks to Lizzie & all who had a hand in the festival & thanks to those that extended a welcoming hand. I had a great time espically meeting Mr Happy & Terrier. Jon do not do "Llewellyn and Gelert" as a duet with Mr Happy, you heard what he did with "Old MacDonold", he will turn your wonderfull ballad into a howl, no offense Mr Happy but you do have a way with a song. Tom It was a real pleasue & joy to meet & hear you, sorry to have put you under the spot light so many times but it was worth it Ha,ha. Barry |
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: GUEST,Val & Ral Date: 09 Aug 09 - 04:39 PM Finally back in Norwich (via Keswick & York....must get satnav!) & can only reinforce what has already been said about what a great weekend it was in all respects, weather, food, drink but above all the friendly & talented company. Fantastic music from people of all ages has made me determined to master an instrument by next year (yes, I know it takes decades) & to bring musical family members too. (Will also gen up on Sid Kipper to bring a bit of Norfolk culture!)Thanks to everyone involved & see you next year. |
