Jen,

You should come to Burneston on either of the Wednesdays (singaround only and our other "local").....you can park your van there as well.

You've also got: The Sun in Stockton on Mondays, The Guisboro' clubs on Fridays and Sundays, Black Swan in York on Thursdays.......loads more as well!

Don't forget Croxdale on the Tuesday night. On 18th November 1- Chris Milner with special guest Anita Jardine that should be a good night.


Look forward to seeing you again Jen.

Jen, you'll enjoy Gerry, he's on with Dunc & Anne at the BBB as well.

Pete, I've got 2BS&S pencilled for the February bash.... plenty of singaround time in November though. You know that I've had to cut down the number of acts with the change of venue.

Anyone else coming?

Paul: I think Pete was angling for a gig with Jen. And why not? I was hoping to bend her ear at the BBB for the same purpose! (And when I say "bend her ear" I know what I'm talking about!)

21st-23rd Feb as things stand. I have another pub interested in running a weekend as well......large single room bar, room for a marquee in the garden and a field at the back for camping/ vans. B & B as well.

There is a possibility that the Feb date might be moved back to take advantage of this. We'll see how this Saturday goes in the village hall before we make decisions.

Spurious message masquerading as a refresh...

...got a new killer song on the looper which I'll be including in the looping workshop. Mostly the workshop will be participative, but this will be one of the "showpiece" numbers.

Oh, and: "refresh!"!!

At Ingleton earlier this month he asked for rain so that everyone would scurry indoors to see Blind Summat - we fairly near drowned!.

Deirdre....hey it worked that banjo rain dance!

Jen, the only serious snow I saw this year was on our way back from our gig at your place in April.....in Kent!

I have no doubt the weather will be glorious (inside) at the BBB!

Looking forward to seeing you both.

Still 22 tickets left......but very few of the locals have bought theirs yet.

.....these things are sent to try us!

After losing our original venue as detailed above it now transpires that the replacement venue (Kirkby Fleetham Village Hall) is double booked for the Friday night. After much frantic ringing round and visiting local pubs (not all bad news then!) we have found a replacement venue FOR THE FRIDAY NIGHT ONLY. This is Leeming Village Hall which is about 4 miles from Kirkby Fleetham.

For those staying in Burneston & Leeming Bar, it is actually closer.... and it shouldn't make any difference to the "locals" for those bringing vans to Kirkby Fleetham we are thinking of hiring a minibus to ferry people there and back (so that imbibing can still take place!). This would probably involve a small (£1-£2 cost). It would be helpful if people could let me know if they think this is a good idea.

Finalising bar arrangements for Leeming, though there is a (open!) pub about 100yds from Leeming VH.

All other arrangements remain as they were and the rest of the weekend will take place in Kirby Fleetham Village Hall.

Any questions, please drop me a line or give me a call on the usual contacts which can be found
here .

Should still be a great weekend.... and I've ordered sunshine this time around!

Sunshine? Should be okay so long as you still get the -6 degrees overnight temperatures to freeze the gas bottles.

But, yes, the minibus sounds like a brilliant idea. Mark me down as a definite for that!

Minibus sounds like a great idea, Paul (three seats, please) - in fact, can it come and collect us from home?

Never mind the sunshine, order a full Indian summer (complete with curry).

Indeed they are...along with the other late addition, East Riding songmeister Derek Wardby.

We will also be hosting the the final round (Saturday)and grand final (Sunday) of the Klondike Folk Arts songwriting competition (completely independent of KFFC). Winners of the first 2 rounds were......Brother Crow and Wendy Arrowsmith.......I won't be judging as I like to keep my friends and my wife!

Entry open to anyone, be helpful but not essential to let me know if you want to enter (you'll need a weekend ticket) and I'll pass on your name to the organisers. Maximum of abou 6 entries.

Bonny at Morn are sounding great. In fact there are doing a live webcam at the moment....

So where do I find out the entry rules for the song contest?

On the basis that it takes me on average 3 years to write a song, if it's got to be contemporary, then I'll have had to have started two years and 11 months ago... :-(
