Mr Jameswright - I look forward to taking you up on that drink soon. Sorry I missed the weekend but the feedback I've heard so far has been excellent. I look forward to making the acquaintance of your gob irons too!.

They were tops Les - added to the magic of the weekend, thanks. I owe Dierdre a drink for the tip. The whiskey & chocolate nightcap with Sooz & Mike and breakfast with Bram was very relaxed and entertaining; further confirming what we said on Saturday - it's all about the folk you meet.
Take care - see you soon
Jim

Very nice to have met you and your wife. How were the B&B's?

Many congratulations and thanks to Sue, Mike, Les, John, Keith & Co for all your hard work at the weekend - our first visit to your festival; it was a very enjoyable weekend, and the weather you ordered was perfect - you must be well in there!

Looking forward to visits to your folk club and also acoustic sessions at the Beckett - will need to repeat the whiskey tasting session too as I appear to be acquiring the taste. I should have known Lincolnshire folk were particularly friendly - my Grandfather came from your neck of the woods (or is it backwoods John?) and he was a real gem.
Bless you all - see you soon

Had a great day in the EJB on Saturday - apart from when someone started up another session in the middle landing so we couldn't hear people sing! Just wish I could have taken the camper and stayed the whole weekend!

What's with all these negative waves about temperature and weather?

The forecast is good, and anyway...

Who cares what the heavens do when friends have a sunny disposition and their welcome is warm. When the songs bring a hot flush and the dancing soothes the heart. When a happy smile is a picture and fun is being had all around you.

Drink and be merry, eat and be happy, sing and be free 'cos monday it's back to...???

The Old Hall tea room is excellent (and quite a lot warmer than the rest of the building!)
I've just heard the weather forecast and it is very good (whatever Mr Whittle promises.)

Is there food and drink that can be purchased at the Old Hall or do I need to bring my flask (hot water bottle) and sandwiches?

seeen him and his droves of fans (which must mean something). obviously a nice guy. bit too nice for me. I like people who bite and shout gratuitous insults. Or like leadbelly (another one they never book) who used to kill people now and then.

PS I have bongos, but I'm not really a drummer. Its a reference to Paul brady's most famous song.

If you've not seen Anthony John you should definitely be there WLD - and I'd appreciate some shithot percussion for accompaniment - bring your bongos

Sooz, if its important to you that it doesn't rain - I'd better stay away. It always rains when I go to Gainsborough.

I think you will like Rik Palieri who is on on Saturday afternoon. The evening concert promises to be absolutely brilliant.

Or there are cheaper alternatives like Steve Hicks and Tristan Seume - you know - really shit hot guitarists.

I've got my sister and brother in law over from Cornwall for the weekend. We wondered about taking them to see the Old Hall at Gainsborough - if theres a few stalls for them to look at and a few floorsingers to listen to - we could have some cake and capucinno and get wet. I'm not sure theres anybody that really floats my boat concert wise - my brother in law's a Steeleye Span fanatic - I'm not sure theres much for him.

Ken Nicol or Bert Jansch would do it.

Well I can say that I will be there on Saturday and i will be giving 2 matches up.

The first is Aston Villa V Manchester United
The second England V South Africa

If I can give those up in the interests of Folk, then there is no excuse for anybody else.
