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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: GUEST,Leila... Date: 17 Jun 08 - 05:53 PM I'll be there Dickie m'dears... |
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: 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: 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: 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 - 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: ThreeSheds Date: 16 Jun 08 - 06:04 PM Dear Peghead Paco What is it thats making you 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: 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: 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: GUEST Date: 15 Jun 08 - 04:56 PM Rebuilding it next year |
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: danensis Date: 15 Jun 08 - 02:24 PM What's happening to the memorial hall? |
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: Folkiedave Date: 15 Jun 08 - 08:20 AM Apologies to Jake - I did not know about Driffield Folk Festival and ought to have done. Dave |
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Sir Roger de Beverley Date: 15 Jun 08 - 07:12 AM I agree that the shameful sale of the Playhouse by East Riding Council robbed us of a great venue and I would support any move to establish an arts centre in Beverley. Roger |
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Graham and Jo Date: 15 Jun 08 - 06:12 AM Beverley realy needs an arts centre and its silly that we don't have one. Massive amounts are raised from us rate-payers in Beverley and Beverley sees very little back. The East Riding authority (who get nearly all the money) spend a lot elsewhere. Pocklington have a nice arts centre and Bridlington have a lot spent on various costly projects. Norwood house is a lovely historic building close to the center of town. The picture playhouse wasn't saved but it's not too late to do something with Norwood House. If the current festival organisers move onto a different festival in a different place, an arts centre would be an ideal center for the organisation of events such as a traditional folk festival in Beverley. We are writing to the Libraries, Arts and Heritage group manager at East Riding of Yorkshire Council. Anyone else interested in this? See www.norwoodhouse.org or www.beverleyhigh.e-yorks.sch.uk/norwood/ |
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Michael Date: 13 Jun 08 - 01:05 PM It is rather like going to The Vatican Council and saying: "It shouldn't be in Rome and shouldn't discuss religion". Strange people. Mike |
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Willa Date: 13 Jun 08 - 12:08 PM I'll second that, nutty |
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Kampervan Date: 13 Jun 08 - 07:00 AM Interesting goings on. Well said Nutty. I've been travelling up to Beverley for the folk festival since the mid eighties. I've missed one or two along the way, but I've certainly enjoyed every one that I got to. It's gone through lots of ups and downs, many changes and we (the public) even managed to keep it going the year when there wasn't (an official) one. If the powers that are now in control have decided that Beverley folk festival shouldn't be a) About folk and b) In Beverely then let them go off and organise what they want, where they want. I've no doubt that Beverley won't be short of a Folk Festival for very long. See you all soon. K/van |
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: nutty Date: 13 Jun 08 - 06:35 AM If that's the way they feel then, perhaps it's best that they move on. Then Beverley's 'People' festival can rise again and give the people of Beverley what they want. I think that the Shanty Festival together with a smaller folk festival would be perfect but that's just a personal opinion. |
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Graham and Jo Date: 13 Jun 08 - 06:22 AM They say it's not decided yet. There will an announcement about whatever will happen at the end of this years festival. The directors that spoke said they wanted a music festival not a folk festival and that they would much prefer to be at another location. One of them (an odd person to be involved in Beverley folk festival) was strongly against both 'folk' and 'Beverley'. No one agreed with them, even the youngsters who wanted a rock music tent. We think there will always be a Beverley folk festival of some kind. There has always been something going on, from the minstrels gathering in Medieval times to the dance groups that danced out for the efdss national day of dance pre the white horse folk club folk festival. |
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: The DeanMeister Date: 13 Jun 08 - 05:41 AM Well, what happened? |
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Graham and Jo Date: 11 Jun 08 - 07:57 PM As I understand it there will be an announcement at this years festival as to whether or not it will stay in Beverley and whether the word 'folk' will be dropped. |
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Graham and Jo Date: 11 Jun 08 - 08:07 AM Public consultation meeting tonight re the future of Beverley Folk festival. See above. |
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Graham and Jo Date: 10 Jun 08 - 04:00 PM Would be an idea to get there for 7.15 as it will start promptly and could be crowded. |

Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Graham and Jo Date: 07 Jun 08 - 09:30 AM Has anyone else got helpful suggestions for the festival forum? You go on the forum site, get on the topic 'thread' and click 'reply' |

Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Graham and Jo Date: 05 Jun 08 - 07:18 PM There is a suggestions section on the Beverley folk festival forum (see the 'forum' link Wildboy posted near top of thread). If anyone has ideas they could post them there, in advance of the meeting next Wednesday. Could get some good ideas going and raise points to think about. |

Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Hand-Pulled Boy Date: 27 May 08 - 09:27 AM I went to both the Saturday and Sunday night main concerts last year and had a great time. Judging by the attendance on both nights then reasonable profits should have been made. The present location is ideal as 'it's' all in the same area of Beverley. People like everything to be within walking distance of pubs (fringe events), and amenities which is what they've got now. Traveling further afield for weekend events could seriously effect numbers with the possiblity of the festival being seriousy fragmented. Artists should be willing to reduce their fees substantialy in order to perform at such a highly regarded annual event. |
Subject: RE: Beverley Folk Festival From: Graham and Jo Date: 27 May 08 - 01:06 AM Trying to remember what was said before the meeting halted. There was mention of 'Beverley Folk Festival' now being just 'Beverley Festival'?, or was it 'Beverley Folk Roots and World Music Festival'? Hadn't realised that had happened. There were questionaires around after a concert one year asking things like 'is it ok to include ..... music'. I thought it was meant to refer to an inclusion that wouldn't interfere with or take resources from the rest of the folk festival. If there are questionaires around this year, anyone interested needs to get hold of one and fill it in. I'm going to take care to think about the implications of what it might be used for too. |
