It was a bit disappointing really - a nice range of beers but I could only sample 4 halves because of driving, and after The RuffnReddy Taxi left there were only a few of us remaining, and only Fisheye and me instrumentalists (Pete the Hat does accompany himself too) so it lagged a bit, and not long after 6 the pub turned the juke box in the next bar on which really got on my tits. Perhaps RuffnReddy should hire one of my Volvos rather than relying on Melodeonboy's Astra!

Kev the Clogs, despite his recent post announcing re-arrival merely sat and drank. Now with the late Pete Hicks it used to be quite different - put beer in, music came out!

Treacle and Obvious were - well, obvious, on an olfactory level, (albeit very sweet).

Essex Girl NaughtyForty and VIrginia Tam sang well, and Dead Horse entertained although Mrs Dead Horse was absent

Thanks Val
for arranging a great afternoon at the end of the evening I was up and ready for a all nighter but alas it was not to be so I went home. Thanks for the lift Fisheye.
I did start chatting up that Mermaid in the beer garden but she was a stoney faced old seaswitch so I left her to it.( The most attractive garden feature I think I have ever seen )

Well done to all singers. Nice to have met Dead Horse and I liked his Titanic song very much I must let my internet pals on Titanic .Titanic.com know about that song.

Richard to be honest matey I am not much cop at accomanying others has much has I would like to be able too,
So I think its best that I play me songs If I can remember them and let others accompany me to make them sound better if they so wish. I dont relie on it but its nice when it happens.

My nerves kick in if Im asked to accompany anyone Look at kNOCKHOLT 2 years ago Where Woodsie got me ,Pat and Deb and himself all together to play a song . I bottled it in the end and couldnt do it. it didnt make me very popular but I cant help that.

Its a funny thing nerves I can take 80 odd people round Chislehurst Caves for a hour and a half and they enjoy it I know they do by the tip box at the end of the tour but I find it difficult to play in front of people and impossible to accompany. So be it.

Look forward to seeing you all at Crayford.

Rate the event.

What was bad? Yah! Like I had been promised a Billericay Dickie. True dat Growler promised on behalf of Melodeonboy. Must be his pimp or somethin. Anyway I went away sadly disappointed and not only by not hearing the songs promised me, but because it all just withered and died too soon.

I don't know what Friday was like but the Saturday afternoon session was good. Thanks to Dilligaf's valiant efforts. The weather and other mitigating factors could not be controlled. Fingers crossed the next one will be better.

What was good? Heard great music. Essex Girl sang some new (to me) songs.   I love Naughtyforty's song about the Portugese stealing a bloke's girl and him doin' them both in.... etc. What is that song?

I got to know people better. And had a proper meeting of and now renewed appreciation of Dilligaf. Fantastic - your rendition of "I Will Survive."

I picked up a loaner mandolin- thank you Mr. Bridge. Everyone wish me luck, please. And was pleasantly surprised that he managed not to kill off so many people in his selections. I have a request. Next time, could we have Uncle Joe's Mint Balls. You won't disappoint me will you, RB?

I wish there had been more peops, like TDL and Jock and Barden of England, etc. But then the room would not accommodate more.

On the whole I give this event a thumbs up. I did enjoy myself and had a good meal in the dining room after everyone left.   

BTW... did anyone go back today (Sunday)? We had a little drive around down to Grain and then wander around Upnor (castle, etc) and did not see anyone at the pub when we peeked inside and in garden around 1:50. The sun was out though. Cheeky devil.

Pete the Hat

I know what you mean. I am usually in the grip of terror when performing. Especially singing, unless it is noisy and people are talking. It makes it easier for me if I think people are not paying attention.

Would it be improper of me to announce that people should please talk amongst themselves before I start singing? "Bloody sarcastic American" is probably the response I would get.

Anyway, I hope I will be less intimidated if I can manage to learn an instrument to accompany myself. To play well enough to join others would be a dream.

Keep on playing and singing as you do. We love it. Who knows,maybe a time will come when we both can jam with the "real" musicians.

obvious and treacle made some new friends, including the landlady, good training to bite the hand that fed them sausages, but well they are ferrets, as for the saturday , kev and i spent most of it proping up the bar, kev didnt feel up to singing, as is his perogative, i cant sing so we stayed where we were, until the juke box started with ever increasing volume, so i said sod it and went home, sadly for my personal taste it was all a bit durgy, perhaps it was the weather, but i could have done with a bit more toe tapping stuff, still cant win em all, could not make sunday as seamus demanded a trot around bexley and a bath to finnish, so we had a day of hosses and buying feed for said beastie, hope you can all make crayford, the whole pub is at our disposal, no jukebox, no telly, just folkies, so if you make it a good day thats what it will be , if not then we only have ourselves to blame,

BREAKING NEWS!!!!

Reuters:
               
                   RICHARD BRIDGE IN COMPLIMENT ROW

The Kent folk world was rocked to its foundations today after allegations were made that local professional curmudgeon and folk singer, Richard Bridge, paid a compliment to local folk trio, Ruff 'n' Reddy, after hearing one of their songs. No independent confirmation has yet been received, but the local folk scene is bracing itself for yet another storm.

The event in question is alleged to have taken place at The King's Arms, Upnor last Saturday afternoon. Local hedge fund manager and former All-Kent tiddleywinks champion, Mr. C. Crunch, was in the adjacent bar at the time. "I can't confirm exactly what happened", he said, "but I heard people gasping in the next room and I saw one of the bar staff take in some smelling salts. I also noticed that for the first time all afternoon, that bloody melodeon fell silent. Even the ferrets stopped moving!"

A spokesman for Ruff 'n' Reddy declined to be interviewed, but informed the press that the band were still in a state of shock and had had to repair to a local hostelry to try to come to terms with the situation.

Major G. Rumpy, spokesman for the Kent branch of CRC (Campaign for Real Curmudgeons) expressed grave misgivngs about the situation: "This is just another example of the touchy-feely society that Britain has now become and the increasing pressure on our members to be nice to people. It's the thin end of the wedge."

Should the allegations turn out to be true, it's likely that many observers will see this as yet another case of Spotted Cat Syndrome, where increased exposure to Kent band, Tone Deaf Leopard, has been shown to cause confusion and personality changes.

Please! I do not prostitute myself. I am an AMATEUR curmudgeon and folksong singer - although as curmudgeons go I feel I can hold my own with the best, the result of years of diligent practice, and not allowing myself to curm in public before I can be confident that the curming will be free from eror, and performed without music stand or words or safety net.

RB... Curming is perhaps a new olympic event?   
"curming will be free from eror"
More practice is definitely needed as I am sure a professional curmudgeon would not permit such a glaring spelling gaff to go by.

Subject: RE: Kings Arms Upnor Beer Fest 1/2nd Nov
From: Richard Bridge
Date: 02 Nov 08 - 03:29 PM

Perhaps you mean "gaffe". A Gaff is wot us livs in in Lower Coke.

An eror of course is a technical defect in a curm, perhaps only recognisable by at least serious amateur curmudgeons. It is the complaint that contains a hint of praise.

"My aunt's cat sings better bass harmonies than that and he had his bollocks off ten years ago" - that is a curm without eror.

"If you practised occasionally that bass harmony might be merely bad rather than unspeably dreadful" contains a grave eror, permitting the curmee the hope of rising above total condescension.

well the ferrets got off with a warning as they were not actually harnessed to the vehicle and were in a state of flux heading out of the village, a local plod said that as they had only nibbled the finger of the landlady no assault charges were pending, however they have been bound over to stay away from upnor as there is a fear that they may eat the locals or kidnap the children of said village to sell to the gypsies for winter food. crayford how ever falls outside of thier juristiction, so eating of locals and kidnapping of same is ok.

Excellent beer, even though I only tried two of them. It was a shame that it couldn't go on later, but given the amount of people coming through the room for the fireworks it could have been a bit of a struggle, even without the jukebox. A shame the weather couldn't have been a bit better and it would have been good to see a few more musicians there. Congatulations to Pete the Hat who walked from Strood!

Big thanks to all that turned up on Saturday and to Rob who stayed at the end of the garden dispensing beer in the worst weather ever and to Larisa for feeding us, lots of good singing and playing as for the durge didn,t hear one 370 verse real folk song amongst it . As a listener not a performer I enjoyed myself, it was good to hear Dead Horse singing, thanks again for the polar bear song. Romany man you will be pleased to know Larisa will not be pressing charges against the ferrets as they are cute!!like little kittens. Essex Girl, naughty forty and myself we,re up long hours sampling fruit vodka etc at my house so had a lazy day Sunday.
A lot of us Richard would like to turn back the clock and have the human juke boxes still around (Dave Bryant and Pete being top amongst them) but alas we can,t. Things are what we make them if you think negative of everything you may never be disappointed but then again you will never be happy either.
Big hugs and a big thank you to one and all xxx next time I,ll try to arrange better weather

Pete and Dave were not jukeboxes - two points about jukeboxes - one puts things in their slot, and the thing put is money, then out comes music

Both Pete and Dave - put in BEER out came music - and then later they would probably try to put something in someone else's slot.

Essex Girl
Its not far from Stroud station has the Crow flies but being has I aint a Bloody Crow it was considerably longer. Caw Caw Caw. about 40/50 mins longer.

I did stick me arm out for a lift but no one stopped to pick up so I gave up.

I was the first one to arrive at Otford and the first one to arrive at Upnor.
Its always nice to be the first and get that first pint down.

What I did not know was That there is a lower Upnor which is silly and a upper upnor which is insane especally if one does not know which one the Kings Arms is in and there,s no Buggerr to ask on route. so I took a chance and got it right.

Well - what a day!!!

What a great shame about the weather - seems that Mother Nature keeps trying to spoil a lot of the organised events recently!!!

Even so.......

The beer was VERY good as usual (well done Rob!!!) Also, well done Rob for the beer dispensing and for your superb effort at errecting the Market Awning to keep us dry, even though we all stayed inside.

The Food was great - thanks Ris for keeping us fed, and for the fun you gave us when you fell in love with the ferrets!!

As always, great musician skills and great singing - you all sounded great from where I was sitting in the main bar .......

........ and that leads me onto my main point (directed at Mr Bridge - and I have PM'd this to you in case you don't carry on reading threads after the event has happened).

Quote "Kev the Clogs, despite his recent post announcing re-arrival merely sat and drank. Now with the late Pete Hicks it used to be quite different - put beer in, music came out!"

I said all afternoon, to people that asked, that I wasn't going to sing because "it wasn't doing it for me!" You have often been in that frame of mind Richard. Both of us have experienced Margarine, who tries to impose her will on performers and singers - you've had it and so have I, and we both don't like it. And all of a sudden, You are doing exactly the same by saying that I "merely sat and drank"! If you re-read my post where I said that "I am back in the house", you will notice that I said that I would sing after suffering a period of stage fright/lack of confidence!! I will PUBLICALY state, that THAT is the REAL reason why I have not sung much this year in public, and that my response of "it's not doing it for me" is just a lame excuse to cover up the real fact. I thought you had picked up on that! To then go on and compare me to Pete Hicks is totally insensitive. If I have taken this the wrong way Richard, then sorry, but I FELT when I read your post that it was VERY much below you and directed at me personally!!

Romany Man - thanks for the "kev and i spent most of it proping up the bar, kev didnt feel up to singing, as is his perogative" - I knew I could rely on you to understand.

I love singing, I love folk. I just have, for whatever reason, a block/fear whatever at the moment, which I need to get through. It isn't going to help me being pressured into singing or commented about if I don't!

I'll see you all at Crayford on Sunday, and It is my intention to take part.

Regards

Kev

there there son, you just take it easy treacle likes you so it cant be all bad, as dilli didnt hear any durgy stuff perhaps we were in different pubs, they all look the same i suppose big wooden thing where beer and money cross flat thing that you land on unless you are outside in the dark and crash over a wall whilst chasing yobs, sorry but to me and this is my personal opinion , which i am entiteled to, is that the so called traditionalists seem to think folk is all singing of the slowest sadest old stuff they can find, where as when i go to different tans around the county and country, yes there are some real miserable songs where everyone just ups and walks away to look at the horses or see whats cooking, but there are far more jolly toe tappers where we all try and join in and have a laff, im bloody sure that back in the day, wwwwaaaayyyyyy back when folk was all there was ish, they had such miserable lives romantisists look away, they needed something to cheer themselves up, in the pub not make things worse, well thats my view, no doubt that attacks will be flying my way , but im entiteld to my opinion, and am entitled to voice it. im sorry if any one takes it personally but its not aimed at any one, now im going to hide behind seamus, and take to the road again, oh bugger i cant i aint allowed, see travellers and stopping places, oh to be free to roam.

Anyone is right to sing only when and if they feels like it, whatever their reasons. I will say I heard Kev sing during the last Sweeps (though I didn't know who he was then) and it gave me shivers. The good kind. No pressure, just an acknowledgement of ability. Even if I never hear him sing again, I know I have heard and it was good.

Now trying to remember what dirge-esque stuff I sang.

The Bundling Song - comedic, upbeat, with chorus
Drink Let's Drink - another upbeat with chorus
What Will We Do - slow and though message not negative still not a toe-tapper
Lowlands - DIRGE to the nth degree, but the joining in and harmonies were nice
Advice to the Ladies - comedic, upbeat, with chorus
Minstrel - DIRGE to a certain degree, especially the way I sing it.

I think that's it. So I broke even. Will try to do better in future, especially if we are stuck inside due to 'orrible weather. That stuff nature dished out Saturday required a jolly counterbalance.

Kev, I didn't think you were angling. As mentioned in this and other threads, I have stage fright issues meself. If Simon hadn't told me to sing on Saturday, I may never have. It is easier when the joint is active and noisy. I feel kind of invisible.

"Somerset" is an Appalachain or mountain or lap dulcimer. Pretty little thing, ain't she?

4 strings - Tuning is D (bass) A (middle) AA (two melody stirngs set close together). And easy as pie to pick out tunes by ear on just the melody strings. Simple chording can be had too. It is the timing of strumming that is throwing me. More practice required.

I know exactly how you feel Kev. I have been going through the same thing for the last 5 years or so. Prior to that I was a very confident performer,playing at rock jams andfolk clubs all over London. Nowadays I take my guitar to events with all intention of playing, but when it gets to my turn my mind blanks and I feel pressure beaming at me from others in the room. The last few times I attempted singing I've even blanked mid-song! Still I like the company and vibe on the kentish scene and who knows one day ...

Ram of Derby - a mad gallop about a ram's huge knackers.
Knight William - long and traditional, nearly twice as fast as the YT used to do it, guitar line that even Brian Rodgers likes (that was a compliment that I cherished) and had people come in from the other bar to listen to.
Rigs of the Times - not a dance song, but hardly miserable.
Admiral Benbow - which I do almost as dance-trance.
Then I got complaints I had not killed enough people so I did Come Away Melinda. Well, lets see, it has been recorded by Uriah Heep.
