Subject: RE: Maybe Song Ssn Stoke N Kent Sun 28 Dec? From: Dead Horse Date: 26 Oct 08 - 01:33 PM You said it Tam. I left Essex years ago and aint looked back (except to wonder if they ever gonna lengthen Southend pier so I can walk home) Mebbe we should have our own web site, or KentGoingsOn section within Mudcat. :-) If the latter, I volunteer to scrutinise the lyric site and act as Folk Police/Mafia Boss, with license to terminate with extreme prejudice. Only kidding.........? |

Subject: RE: Maybe Song Ssn Stoke N Kent Sun 28 Dec? From: melodeonboy Date: 25 Oct 08 - 09:39 PM "I can get Master Brew anywhere and frankly I am getting bored with it." When a man is tired of Master Brew, he is tired of life! |

Subject: RE: Maybe Song Ssn Stoke N Kent Sun 28 Dec? From: Richard Bridge Date: 25 Oct 08 - 03:34 PM The current tenant does not approve of mind-altering chemicals (save for licensed alcohol) and despite the tattoos is (apart from the accent) quite a reasonable bloke. He is finding Lower Coke harder going than the back streets of Strood (!) He wants to run a business but does not want excessive disorder. As for the eye - the yoof wot did it apparently has been saying "Oh shit what did I do" and wishes to pour oil on troubled waters but does not know what to say. I suspect his father who knows of my profession and abilities to be influencing him! The appearance of the eye is only mildly alarming now - but one of the others in the fracas has a fractured cheek bone. No, I didn't do it. Others in pub say "He only dares to do it to old men" which is mildly annoying. Oddly, since I ran out of the pub door streaming blood after said yooof yelling "You are a dead man" local people seem (a) to regard my street cred as enhanced and (b) to buy me drinks. Funny that. I would not use my influence with villains I have helped in this scenario, by way of payback. Would I? |
Subject: RE: Maybe Song Ssn Stoke N Kent Sun 28 Dec? From: dilligafxx Date: 25 Oct 08 - 12:14 PM I am worried about Richard Bridge !! not only is he aware when the kareokes are on and entering the Nags Head which I had up to friday of last week believed from him to be the site of untold and unnamed going ons he is fratranising with the locals in said pub, by the way how is the eye. He is now proposing that I venture nearly a mile down the road from Upper Coke to visit said establishment. Whats next subaru,s instead of volvo's and tight leather trousers, gold chains, and dyed blonde sheep. A confused dilligaf xx |

Subject: RE: Maybe Song Ssn Stoke N Kent Sun 28 Dec? From: Richard Bridge Date: 25 Oct 08 - 08:11 AM Landlord is getting one or two 32-pint mini barrels or boxes of session beer (I told him up to 4.5) to serve on the bar. Apparently Sheps were pleased to hear of the development. |

From: Dipsodeb Date: 21 Oct 08 - 09:54 AM Thanks for the email Richard we will certainly try to get there depending on wether we still have the grandson with us or not after christmas.

Subject: RE: Maybe Song Ssn Stoke N Kent Sun 28 Dec? From: Richard Bridge Date: 20 Oct 08 - 08:43 AM I have spoken to the pub and sorry Romany Man but Treacle and Obvious cannot come into the pub - the landlord's staff bitch will try to eat anything else with fur on and usually succeeds. |
Subject: RE: Maybe Song Ssn Stoke N Kent Sun 28 Dec? From: GUEST,Essex Girl Date: 20 Oct 08 - 08:23 AM I'll be going if you want a lift Woodsie. |
Subject: RE: Maybe Song Ssn Stoke N Kent Sun 28 Dec? From: Richard Bridge Date: 20 Oct 08 - 06:07 AM Are the ferrets good workers? If so they might get stolen. I'm not sure the landlord lets them in the pub, I haven't seen any dogs in there for a while, in fact since the last tenant left. I'll try to find out if I get a mo. |
Subject: RE: Maybe Song Ssn Stoke N Kent Sun 28 Dec? From: naughtyforty Date: 20 Oct 08 - 05:00 AM I may possibly be able to make this depending on who I can get a lift with. |
Subject: RE: Maybe Song Ssn Stoke N Kent Sun 28 Dec? From: romany man Date: 20 Oct 08 - 04:58 AM hmmm is stoke a ferret friendly area, ive heard it can be a bit wild on a sunday, |
Subject: RE: Maybe Song Ssn Stoke N Kent Sun 28 Dec? From: Dead Horse Date: 20 Oct 08 - 04:51 AM A huge boot for guitars! That would depend on how well they were played, and on how big the player was. |
Subject: RE: Maybe Song Ssn Stoke N Kent Sun 28 Dec? From: Girl Friday Date: 19 Oct 08 - 05:39 PM We might be able to squeeze Woodsie in, depends on how many turkey kebabs he'll have had over the festive season. |
Subject: RE: Maybe Song Ssn Stoke N Kent Sun 28 Dec? From: Richard Bridge Date: 19 Oct 08 - 10:59 AM Well, Woodsie, aren't the pride of leopards near you, and if my memory serves me that clatter-on they ride is a 5-seater with a huge boot for guitars... |
Subject: RE: Maybe Song Ssn Stoke N Kent Sun 28 Dec? From: GUEST,woodsie Date: 19 Oct 08 - 04:41 AM I'd love to venture into the deep wilds of Stoke after the Christmas mayhem. Anybody from my area going? I will pay for petrol! Eye of a fish or dipping debs maybe |
Subject: RE: Maybe Song Ssn Stoke N Kent Sun 28 Dec? From: VirginiaTam Date: 19 Oct 08 - 04:41 AM Chris and I can probably make it. We might be knackered. Christmas eve and day and all or part of boxing day in Sratford upon Avon. Still we plan to be there. |
Subject: RE: Maybe Song Ssn Stoke N Kent Sun 28 Dec? From: Wee Jock Date: 19 Oct 08 - 04:19 AM Will try to make it, as you so rightly say people will have had enough of Xmas Fayre and a return to some form of normality will be good. I might even do a new song or two |
Subject: RE: Maybe Song Ssn Stoke N Kent Sun 28 Dec? From: My guru always said Date: 19 Oct 08 - 04:05 AM Sounds good Richard, we might be able to pop along if it's happening! |
Subject: RE: Maybe Song Ssn Stoke N Kent Sun 28 Dec? From: Richard Bridge Date: 19 Oct 08 - 03:52 AM Sue and Tony Urwin from BG will also come. Tony does not often sing but Sue does some very nice Geordie songs - she is from up there. |
Subject: RE: Maybe Song Ssn Stoke N Kent Sun 28 Dec? From: Richard Bridge Date: 18 Oct 08 - 06:46 PM I'm delighted to say the Graham Anstee, Bishop Gundulfs Morriss's banjo player has also indicated his intention to attend - I'm sure his stuff will please the audient. NB it being a Sunday and Monday being workday I will NOT be offering overnight accommodation, we will not go back to my house and carry on until 3 am, and I will NOT be providing compulsory chili vegetable stoo. |
Subject: RE: Maybe Song Ssn Stoke N Kent Sun 28 Dec? From: melodeonboy Date: 18 Oct 08 - 03:51 PM Great news, Richard! Ruff 'n' Reddy'll be there. You've already got more than three or four people; and in the twinkling of an eye! |
Subject: RE: Maybe Song Ssn Stoke N Kent Sun 28 Dec? From: Girl Friday Date: 18 Oct 08 - 02:16 PM Richard This will gladden your heart I'm sure. TDL are up for this, maybe even a cub or two. Have to check it out. If this one is half as much fun as the Ship sessions it should be brilliant ! |
Subject: Maybe Song Ssn Stoke N Kent Sun 28 Dec? From: Richard Bridge Date: 18 Oct 08 - 01:35 PM This is to see how many people might be interested in an afternoon song session in the Nags Head Lower Stoke ME3 9RD (UK) on Sunday the 28th December - might become a monthly session at least till the festival season starts. The original pub on this site is mentioned in Hogarth's diaries but this building is late 1800s. Wood floor, good acoustics. Plenty parking - pub carpark and public carpark (free) immediately over the road. Public transport not a useful option but believe there might be a bus from Chatham that takes well over an hour 'cos it goes through all the villages on the peninsular and runs on the 32nd of months with a "Q" in the name. No football on the TV that Sunday. I count 18 suitable session seats/stools for people swinging guitars or other instruments, and a good amount of other space/benches. Landlord offering to put some real beer on - the previous incumbents let the beer engines and pipes go to rack and ruin so it is likely to be a small barrel or couple of large boxes served under gravity. It's a Sheps pub but he may be allowed/able to have non-Sheps guest beer. Probably some food like roast spuds or something too. I think the plan is really to run afternoon, but if enough people want to play on into the evening I don't think there would be any objection. It is a matter of whether we would reach critical mass - if not enough people are going to want to do it it will not happen 'cos it's not worth doing if only three or four people turn up, but my guess is that by then people will be going stir-crazy from Xmas and gagging to get out and folk!
