Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: GUEST,Rafflesbear Date: 31 Aug 08 - 12:20 PM no takers for the wood though? "I can offer broken pallets to anyone who wants to pick them up from either Sevenoaks or Borough Green" |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: Mick Woods Date: 31 Aug 08 - 11:06 AM That was Tony Horncastle, who we dearly miss. We can still do the sessions by the fire it only takes two to start, then the others seem to join in or come along and listen. People did seem to prefer sitting outside their tents at the last one though. I don't know why, I always prefer sitting around a campfire even when the sun is blaxing (high hopes) it just has that magic feel. |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: Richard Bridge Date: 31 Aug 08 - 09:16 AM I miss the afternoon fireside sessions too. The last one I remember was with that chap who has since died so young of a heart problem I think it was who had a lovely little Martin 00028 (or maybe it was an Orchestral model with 28 decoration) who certainly knew how to use it, and I suprised him by identifying "20 flight rock" before he was a couple of bars into the intro.. He played some nice blues and ragtime that I was able to mess around on the mandolin to |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: GUEST Date: 30 Aug 08 - 01:16 PM It has been brought to my attention that folk are not staying on the Knockholt site in the afternoons for the afternoon sessions around the fire. Instead they are all following Pete the Hat and fellow drinking partner down the Tally Ho. This is nonsense. We go down the Tally Ho and others come down in our wake because they so wish to. We used to have well attended and not so much well attended work shops in the afternoons but they do not seem to happen now.instead folk sit in there tents or out side playing guitar the fire side is empty. get some workshops up and running and I will attend. alturnately we could have a game of .....Base ball...Rounders.. Thats it how about a game of Its a Knockholt Knockout. the first game we could call PORTA LOO PAR-LARVA. The Idea of the game is to get the porta loos to the other end of the field by towing them behind a car. and navigating them over various obsticles. just to make it a little bit harder we could have the opposing teams throwing sheep at each other.
Thanks. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: Mick Woods Date: 30 Aug 08 - 07:42 AM Well maybe not power chords as in dyad 5ths. But certainly power in the total sound that is produced, with a refreshing sound complimenting the vocal. |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: Richard Bridge Date: 30 Aug 08 - 06:52 AM Thank you Mick. Two points. I think the big "drivers" that I do are probably Famous Flower of Serving Men, Gentlemen of High Renown, and Brave Benbow. None of them use power chords. Reynardine is pretty much a rip-off of teh Fairport arrangement - no power chords at all - but you are thinking of the bridge (mine, not Fairport's) with that striking repeated reference through the Em7 to and back from the C. The only one I do that uses a bunch of power chords (that comes to mind at the moment) is "Henry Martin". It' also a LONG way from a 3-chord trick! |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: Mick Woods Date: 29 Aug 08 - 05:23 PM Richard; I hold the same regard for your rendition of some old somgs. Renardyne is a good example - an old song augmented with acoustic driving power chords. |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: Richard Bridge Date: 28 Aug 08 - 01:10 PM Quite a lot of us are a bit lardie Woodsie, but again I think a few of us can still give a song a kicking. Shame about our singing of course... |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: Mick Woods Date: 28 Aug 08 - 12:59 PM Yes I cabn bear witness that Norscalardie are a fine young duo that have the talent to take a worn out, tired old folk song, give it a good kick up the ass, a shake down and produce something sparkling and fresh. I can't wait to catch them at KH. |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: GUEST,Norcsalordie Date: 27 Aug 08 - 05:16 PM You're right about Blackheath (we've been booked for a gig there on December 9th) and the Orpingtons but we never made it to the Tudor Barn - a joy yet to come - and we have of course p[layed the Fox and Hounds As for fans of TDL - too right we are - It was wonderful watching the audience reaction in the garden at the Neptunes Hall first disbelief, followed by broad smiles, a quick check with their friends to make sure they were on board, then the phones came out to take pictures, then singing along. I think the disbelief might have had something to do with the go-go dancers :-) looking forward to next Thursday and hearing your new song again |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: Girl Friday Date: 25 Aug 08 - 12:29 PM Norcsalordie have definitely sung at Blackheath and both Orpingtons and I believe at Tudor Barn. They are young, lively, professional folkies and fans as well as friends of TDL. |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: growler Date: 24 Aug 08 - 04:18 PM I am on leave that week, I am trying to find an excuse, not to go away untill after the weekend. I don't think that Maria would view filling Richard's tankard, a good reason. I'm on the case |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: naughtyforty Date: 24 Aug 08 - 03:10 PM Maria by the Sea and I will both be there on Friday afternoon (around 5.00pm hopefully). See you all there |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: GUEST Date: 24 Aug 08 - 03:06 PM My sister lives in Westerham and she will be driving me to Knockholt on the Tuesday evening around 7oclock. I,ll be pitched by 8oclock and stroll down the TallyHo where I shall make me stay till closing time. I shall then jog back up to the field leap the gate go to sleep. I be up with the Lark on the Wednesday to meet the first offical arrivals. Well its beats getting a train and all that Par-larva with buses and one night alone in a field. What could possibly happen /Go wrong? |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: Richard Bridge Date: 24 Aug 08 - 12:36 PM What day are you going up Woodsie? In view of the year I am planning to take time off from the office (if all goes well) and so will arrive Weds, (having received post) I've got someone to check my post Thurs, and I have to pop home on Fri to ready my spare wardo for the princess and boyf - so if you are holidoid from Weds I can prolly collect you en route - it's only from somewhere near Eltham innit? And so to vanwatch! Today Paul my lodger (another full kit drummer) and I have re-mantled the oven and hob which should now work safely and planned the built-in PA system, and planned the princess-proofing of the spare wardo. |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: Mick Woods Date: 24 Aug 08 - 12:19 PM Help - I still need a lift! |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: Girl Friday Date: 24 Aug 08 - 11:36 AM That's great that Norcsalordie'll be 100% there. I never assume as only 50% come from Kent. Should enliven the precedings on Thursday then! |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: GUEST,Norcsalordie Date: 23 Aug 08 - 07:06 AM we're pleased to confirm that we shall be 100% at Knockholt on the Thursday after which we return to the North (actually the Midlands) All our gigs (including Knockholt) are set out on our dates page http://www.norcsalordie.com/dates including several around Kent |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: GUEST,rafflesbear Date: 23 Aug 08 - 04:06 AM hi Richard there is roadside advertising at Bat + Ball - although personally I have an aversion to three board advertising on grass verges |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: Richard Bridge Date: 23 Aug 08 - 03:19 AM Seemingly nothing on the Fox & Hounds pub website about the alleged festival. |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: Girl Friday Date: 22 Aug 08 - 01:04 PM Music Festival at The Fox and Hounds Pub all weekend Fox and hounds Festival |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: Girl Friday Date: 22 Aug 08 - 12:53 PM We can possibly expect half of Norcsalordie on Thursday. No guarantee for the other half though. If Fisheye has his technology and both he and George are coming with their banjos, can we do a live recording please? Glad JB is now going to be around Fri/Sat. It wouldn't have been the same without him. |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: Kev The Clogs Date: 19 Aug 08 - 02:45 PM So pleased I didn't offend John. Anyone else that I need to appologise to, please let me know! I actually managed the procession, slept for 95% of the journey to Broadstairs - arrived 5.30 Sat morning. Grabbed a couple of hours more kip and then danced at noon - I WAS delicate for the whole of Saturday!!! Check out the Broadstairs link John - I think it's just thee and me that don't get on with the place! Kev |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: The Barden of England Date: 19 Aug 08 - 11:25 AM You certainly didn't offend me after the event that doesn't happen. I was good to see you wet outside as well as in:-) - and after all what are fridays for? I just wondered how you managed the next morning with the early start ;-) Right fed up about being elsewhere for Knockholt - Boo Hoo John Barden |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: GUEST,Norcsalordie Date: 19 Aug 08 - 10:14 AM Thanks for the compliment Kev We are at the Man of Kent Rochester on Wednesday evening and at Fakenham on Friday so we have the opportunity to attend Knockholt on Thursday Hope to see you there - please come and say hi ! |

|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: Kev The Clogs Date: 19 Aug 08 - 08:49 AM Yeah, I had a feeling that it might be like that! Watched a couple of the videos that I took in the pub - don't remember doing it! I went shopping after I left the pub and bought packets of biscuits that I don't even eat!! Thanks to you a Linda for picking up my Top Hat and bits and bobs! |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: naughtyforty Date: 19 Aug 08 - 08:37 AM When I saw you after the event that does not happen Kev I think you would have been hard pushed to remember who you even talked to let alone if you upset anyone!!! Maybe you should just apologise to everyone you may or may not have talked to!!! (you can tell me off at Knockholt if you like!) |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: Kev The Clogs Date: 19 Aug 08 - 08:34 AM Dilligaf and I will be there - the mission to help The Hoff stay drunk is accepted!!! Shame you will not be there The Barden (sorry if I said anything to offend you in Sidders after the event that doesn't happen). So does that mean that we might have Norcsalordie at Knockholt then? Wicked! |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: Girl Friday Date: 19 Aug 08 - 08:28 AM Great pity that. Oh well.... we'll just have to cope without you. Sue and trev |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: GUEST,The Barden of England sans cookie Date: 19 Aug 08 - 04:10 AM Damn and blast - I shall still be on my travels up north - well Fleetwood, Leith, Edinburgh, York and all stations heading back south. Have a wonderful time on your 60th. Richard, and I hope you've already applied for the Bus pass, and of course your heating allowance - which might help a little bit towards the bar bill by the sounds of it. To all at the Folkmob, and all the other visitors to Knockholt I hope the weather does you proud and have a fabulous time - as I'm sure you will. John Barden |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: GUEST,Pete the HAT Date: 18 Aug 08 - 06:29 PM I have just invented "PETE THE HATS,MARVALOUS MACHANICAL SLOW COOK STEAMING MACHINE. Tried and tested this last weekend there was a problem with the prototype. The top tin went BANG and the lid shot some 15ft up in rhe air. A few modifications later the same thing happened so I just done away with the top tin. This contraption is capable of making a large joint. over a period of about 5 hours.worked out in conjuction with the amount of time I spend down the Tally Ho with Woodsie on the F (A bit like me when Im legless. Richard.. Im top man at helping folk stay drunk Im a expert at it and I do not get violent or abrusive. fall on fires or guitars. |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: Girl Friday Date: 17 Aug 08 - 02:30 PM We're all set to come. Left over beer from Broadstairs. Mostly left over from my alternative birthday party. Have mentioned it to Norcsalordie, as Biggles' birthday is that weekend. Wrote a new song at Broadstairs which requires banjos. |

Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: GUEST,rafflesbear Date: 16 Aug 08 - 04:18 PM I can offer broken pallets to anyone who wants to pick them up from either Sevenoaks or Borough Green |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: fisheye Date: 16 Aug 08 - 03:14 PM I did not think the legal profession were allowed to advertise their services, surely staying drunk may full into this catagory. However I am sure the Bar, will stay open for you Richard. We look forward to enjoying your company at another auturm Knockholt. 60 is a great age, it qualifies you to still remember what you done in your youth, plus you can use your 'bus pass' to get you home from KH if you stay too drunk. regards Fisheye |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: GUEST,woodsie Date: 16 Aug 08 - 08:45 AM He doesn't actually say he needs help to GET drunk, but to STAY drunk. So I suppose he will be legless and require a runner to fetch more beer!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Knockholt Autumn Gold 3rd-7th September From: melodeonboy Date: 16 Aug 08 - 05:26 AM I'm gigging on Saturday and Sunday but I'm hoping to be there on Friday night. I'd never noticed that Richard needed any help to stay drunk! |
