Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: GUEST Date: 15 Jun 08 - 09:43 AM Hi Everybody,well Folk Week is just around the corner, and we have endeavoured to keep the pub as musically orientated in keeping with your kind advice, and our love for live music, not just for Folk Week but all year round, we now have a new piano, guitars, harp, violin, for all musicians to play etc..Looking forward to seeing you all again, and once again thank you for all your help. Love to you all...The Two Sisters..Sun Inn Beverley This seems the most appropriate place for this message. I deleted 5 other copies. Please don't post the same message multiple times. ~Muderator |

Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Paco Rabanne Date: 16 Jun 08 - 07:24 AM If anyone fancies a flamenco session at the festival, I can be found this friday night in a corner of the carpark of The Tiger, quietly crying to myself over a rather fine peghead guitar! Flamenco, the true path! |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Graham and Jo Date: 16 Jun 08 - 12:43 PM Edwardio Niebla was booked a few years ago. He was fantastic. Made many a guitarist cry. |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Kampervan Date: 16 Jun 08 - 04:01 PM Paco After a posting like that I doubt very much that you will be crying to yourself. Just don't expect much in the way of dancing to complement your guitar playing! (Unless of course there are talents out there which will be revealed.) Looking forward to the weekend K/van |

Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: ThreeSheds Date: 16 Jun 08 - 06:04 PM Dear Peghead Paco What is it thats making you cry? |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Paco Rabanne Date: 17 Jun 08 - 03:05 AM The loneliness of playing flamenco during a folk festival three sheds old fruit, hence the tears. But I shall also take my trusty octave mandolin for a tune or two as well. Edwardo Niebla is a splendid chap, Juan Martin has appeared at Beverley Folk Festival a few times too. see you in the car park! Paco Rabanne King pie procurer |

Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: GUEST,Si Date: 17 Jun 08 - 05:21 AM Thanks Jake. Took a look at your Driffield Folk Festival Link, that looks an interesting festival. Beverley definatly wouldnt want to step on their exciting toes. |

Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: GUEST,Dáithí Date: 17 Jun 08 - 05:26 AM Performing at the EcoFest just outside Louth this Saturday , so can't get to Beverley before Sunday, when I'm planning to catch The Watersons in the afternoon. Anyone know if and where there are any open sessions around later on the Sunday teatime/evening at all? Cheers! Dáithí |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Carol Date: 17 Jun 08 - 06:26 AM The Sun for singers I should think the Tiger for musicians |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Graham and Jo Date: 17 Jun 08 - 07:10 AM If you google Beverley folk festival and get to the festival website there is information under what's on for 'fringe'. Lots of tunes in the Tiger. Probably several sessions at once in the different rooms. The Sun will probably be mixed sessions. There is a Saturday afternoon session there year round now that is mixed, with plenty of tunes as well as songs. |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: GUEST,Joe Date: 17 Jun 08 - 08:42 AM Ill be in the tiger then - the guest beers recently have been ace, although due to general crap I havent been to many sessions lately - Graham & Jo, will you have your friday session as normal? (albeit a little more crowded?!!) |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Graham and Jo Date: 17 Jun 08 - 03:35 PM Will be there as usual on Friday. There should be several sessions going on at once in different rooms in the Tiger. |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Les from Hull Date: 17 Jun 08 - 05:37 PM The Festival Fringe page mentioned by Graham and Jo is here |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: GUEST,Dickie Date: 17 Jun 08 - 05:45 PM The Flivers will be holding a session in The Mariners on Saturday From 2pm till 6.30pm.. All welcome! It would be lovely to see you there!! Come Flivering with us... |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: GUEST,Leila... Date: 17 Jun 08 - 05:53 PM I'll be there Dickie m'dears... |

Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Graham and Jo Date: 18 Jun 08 - 07:20 AM Last minute camping only tickets should be available now on the Beverley folk festival website. |

Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Soldier boy Date: 18 Jun 08 - 12:00 PM Do you know if the singing sessions in The Sun inn will be formal (with an MC) or informal and will The Sun be the main venue for singarounds? It's a really good pub The Sun. Spent most of my time in it at the recent Beverly Beck Shanty Festival and was impressed with its layout (condusive to different sessions taking place in different rooms/levels at the same time),atmosphere, and also very importantly what looked to be the best and the biggest range of hand-pulled real ales in town. |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Les from Hull Date: 18 Jun 08 - 12:27 PM SB - check out the festival fringe page that I've blickyed to in my earlier post. The Sun would seem to be looking after itself. I'm surprised about your comments about the Shanty Festival and the Sun, as the Shanty Festival wasn't using the Sun! I agree about the layout, beers etc., there's always a good welcome in the Sun. But you might want to check out some of the other sessions / singarounds as well. Les |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Graham and Jo Date: 18 Jun 08 - 12:31 PM The landlords of the sun have left it open. There are specifically tunes sessions in the Tiger on Friday. You may find that Saturday there are quite a few tunes in the Sun. It won't be a quiet going round in a circle thing. There are specifically singing sessions in Hodgesons and in the Monks Walk. |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Graham and Jo Date: 18 Jun 08 - 12:37 PM Just looked at the 'fringe' list. What's happened to Mick's singaround in the Monks walk? Couldn't see either. Lots of people will be dissapointed. It was always brilliant. |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Soldier boy Date: 18 Jun 08 - 12:50 PM Hi Les. Thanks for your reply to my question. The sessions I came across in The Sun at the Shanty Festival were singarounds/playarounds by a small 'fringe'element and they were very good. I am suprised that the festival wasn't using The Sun. It seems to be too good a venue to miss out. |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Les from Hull Date: 18 Jun 08 - 01:19 PM I believe that the decision that the Shanty organisers took was to use the pubs nearest to the Beck, to concentrate the music and so on down that end. I know that the Sun is only two pubs further away, but I suppose you have to draw the line somewhere! And there is a regular Saturday and Sunday session in the Sun throughout the year. That must have been what you joined. |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Graham and Jo Date: 18 Jun 08 - 01:40 PM The Beckside shanty festival didn't want to recreate the Beverley folk festival, but to have things going on around the Beck. There are plenty of good pubs in town. The Tiger, the Monks Walk, The Green Dragon, The Royal Standard, and Nellies (the White Horse) are worth a look. But they won't allow music in Nellies. The person who looks after sessions in the Sun on usual Saturday afternoons is John the Harp. Don't know what his plans are exactly this weekend but he'll probably be in the Sun. They often have rock bands there Friday nights though. Don't know if they will this Friday. What's happened to Mick's singaround? |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Sir Roger de Beverley Date: 18 Jun 08 - 03:33 PM The Monk's Walk beer garden is currently full of debris and would not be a good venue for anything except demolition! I think that Mick is meeting me in the Sun at noon on Saturday and then proceeding to the Mariners to meet up with Dick etc R |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: ossonflags Date: 18 Jun 08 - 03:45 PM Plenty going on people!! never mind what has gone before or the whys, the whats and the wherefores, just enjoy the festival and let us keep music live!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Sir Roger de Beverley Date: 19 Jun 08 - 05:08 AM No rock bands in The Sun this weekend - it is folk friendly from Friday lunchtime onwards R |

Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: danensis Date: 19 Jun 08 - 03:29 PM Are those Rocky Horror Morris girlies going to be there? John |
|

|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: GUEST Date: 21 Jun 08 - 03:25 AM Hows it going so far folks? should be there later today |

Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Soldier boy Date: 22 Jun 08 - 06:15 PM Wow! What a great festival. It'a an absolute gem. Can't understand why I have not been to it before. Everything is close at hand, the pubs are great, the people are great and there is so much choice. This really is a little diamond of a festival and ticks all the boxes for me. So why on earth would anyone dare to even think about changing it. No way. That would be sacrilege and a crime against good reason and common sense. If it's not broke don't try to fix it. This festival comfortably fits the needs and aspirations of the folk community, the local community and local businesses in the town like a warm pair of gloves. A big thank you and my fullest praise and admiration to all the organisers and all the helpers that worked tirelessly to make this festival such a resounding success. It's brilliant! |

Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Paco Rabanne Date: 23 Jun 08 - 03:25 AM Anybody else see The Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain last night? What a titter they were! I also saw Tony Benn stood in the bike shelter outside the Leisure Centre on saturday smoking his pipe. |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: The DeanMeister Date: 23 Jun 08 - 05:32 AM Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at the Sun Inn on saturday. It was splendid to see Rich Wastling back doing his thing, and Jim MacDonald back in town sorting out the rabble as only he can. Had a couple in the newly reopened Oddfellows later in the evening, too, with Kampervan, Vicky and friends. All in all, a top day out spent in good company. After a what seemed to me to be a disappointing showing last year, it was good to see the festival alive and kicking again. Might even join in the camping again next year! Good to see you all. Pete. |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: GUEST,Joe Date: 23 Jun 08 - 05:46 AM Spent a fair amount of time in the Tiger, heard some great music, played a few tunes, drank a few beers, met some nice people, generally had a good time. Could barely get in the door of the Sun when I tried! My only problem with the festival itself - how difficult would it have been to set up a proper bar in the sports hall? |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: ThreeSheds Date: 23 Jun 08 - 09:02 AM Perhaps the thinking was that the two urinals wouldnt have coped with an increased throughput of beer! |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: r.padgett Date: 23 Jun 08 - 09:51 AM I made it for an hour or two in the Sun with Jimmy and "Campervan" Paul and Berni Warner ~ on Sunday thanks for the sing! and all others who took part Not been for a few years Ray |

Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Graham and Jo Date: 23 Jun 08 - 09:55 AM Tired out after a fantastic weekend Loved the ukeleles. |
|
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: GUEST,Joe Date: 23 Jun 08 - 09:57 AM I managed to slice my finger open on the Sunday so no playing for me - a blessing to everyone else? |

Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: GUEST,buspassed Date: 23 Jun 08 - 10:26 AM Couldn't believe it on Saturday night when the smoke alarm went off at the end of the Simpson/Cutting set, the reason given fom the stage that it might be the smoke generator! What are tech rehearsals for? Could be the checking the level of smoke against the sensitivity of detection not be included? Having got that whinge out the way let me say it was a grand concert, Mike Waterson,in fine voice, singing those wonderful 'Hull' songs of his as only he can had this Hull exile reaching for the hanky. I think the highspot though was Eliza & Saul creating communal goosebumps with their performance of 'I Wish All the Wars were over'. Real magic! |

Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Kampervan Date: 23 Jun 08 - 11:50 AM Just struggled back to Kent after yet another fantastic Beverley weekend that leaves me wondering why the whole world doesn't live in Yorkshire.(And since I chiefly come from Grimsby that takes some admitting). We missed last year, but this one certainly made up for it. Great to see Ray and Jim and Steve.....and, well everybody who made the sessions so fantastic. Thank you to everyone for putting it all together. I know it's a lot of hard work, and we just swan up and enjoy it, but we do appreciate it. Great food tent too. I don't know how those guys worked the hours they did; they were still cooking breakfast when we left, after 10am on Monday. Finally, a personal message to Messrs Tony Benn and Roy Bailey. Long may you carry on your crusade. I don't think I've ever before heard so much truth and common(?)sense crammed into such a short space of time. Hopefully see you all next year. Best wishes K/van and Big bird |

Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: GUEST,MC Fat (at work) Date: 24 Jun 08 - 06:30 AM Had a belting time. Great to see Paul and Viccky (Kampervan and Big Bird) plus Steve ,the Deimeister, little Legs Padgett, Bernard Warner, Richard Wastling (looking well )and all. The sessions were belting but the craic was even better. For various reasons I haven't been there the last two years but I now know what I was missing. |

Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: nutty Date: 24 Jun 08 - 07:50 AM So --- does anybody know what's going to happen next year?? |
