Subject: RE: lake district folk clubs and events From: GUEST,Betsy at Work Date: 30 Sep 08 - 05:06 AM Rozy , I asked somewthing similar 6 months or so ago. Apart from Daves advice all I can add is, if you are in the West of Lakes,( Workington area ) Ray Phillips organises a small session on Wednesdays. I will PM his phone No. |
Subject: RE: lake district folk clubs and events From: Dave (Bridge) Date: 30 Sep 08 - 12:10 PM Hi Betsy, did you go to anything in the Lakes? |
Subject: RE: lake district folk clubs and events From: MoorleyMan Date: 30 Sep 08 - 02:51 PM I started a thread in February which came to nowt despite a few good suggestions from fellow-Catters - but then my stay in the area netted not a single club or session through the whole week.. |
Subject: RE: lake district folk clubs and events From: Dave (Bridge) Date: 30 Sep 08 - 04:14 PM I never can understand why there is not more folk in the Lakes. Not wishing to stereotype but the majority of the people who go to the Lakes are outdoorsy people, the kind you would expect to be into that kind of music, one way or another. Is it just because nobody is willing to organise anything on a permanent basis? |
Subject: RE: lake district folk clubs and events From: GUEST,BanjoRay Date: 30 Sep 08 - 04:41 PM If you're in Langdale go to the Old Dungeon Ghyll and have a word with Neil the landlord. Neil's a good folk fiddler and has a regular session in the bar. I believe the session moves around to other pubs at different times, and Neil could tell you when and Where it happens. Ray |

Subject: RE: lake district folk clubs and events From: Sue Allan Date: 30 Sep 08 - 05:40 PM Great session on first Sunday of the month - so next one 5 October - 7.30pm onwards at the Old Crown, Hesket Newmarket which is near Caldbeck (N Lake district: back o'Skiddaw country). Great beer too as it has award winning micro Brewery. I'll be there, so do make yourself known if you go! |

Subject: RE: lake district folk clubs and events From: Northerner Date: 01 Oct 08 - 10:06 AM If you are into storytelling Taffy Thomas runs a storytelling circle in Ings on the first Tuesday of the month. He will probably have some musicians there. Taffy is one of our country's foremost storytellers. Brilliant! http://www.taffythomas.co.uk/index.html |
Subject: RE: lake district folk clubs and events From: Northerner Date: 01 Oct 08 - 11:00 AM Here's more details about the storytelling. There really is the most amazing atmosphere at the Watermill. Event is free too. http://www.watermillinn.co.uk/Whats%20on-news.html I had the privilege of performing with Taffy at Whitby Folk Week in August. |
