Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 09 Jul 09 - 05:12 PM I have done it! Updated my website! Spelt everyone's names wrong but I blame the disleksia and even spelled my husbands name wrong so the rest of you have nothing to worry about! But the InAnyEvent website is now updated and includes Acoustak although they are unable to confirm as Ian the banjo player is away. Looking forward to seeing you all! oops that's the Lizettes, that plastercine gets everywhere! http://www.inanyevent.org.uk |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: SussexCarole Date: 09 Jul 09 - 06:10 PM Looking forward to a great weekend - see you there |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 10 Jul 09 - 03:38 AM Can't get a full compliment of Lizettes but a few of us may be there! We'll bring the plastercine and we can have the Youtube version! |

|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Dave Roberts Date: 10 Jul 09 - 09:17 AM Ah, but Ms Rosenfield's version of plasticine is a special sort which can sing. |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 10 Jul 09 - 09:24 AM Tee Hee! 8-) |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 10 Jul 09 - 12:14 PM Ah yes the singing kind is quite hard to get hold of! I am trying to persuade Dr Bob to attend, he is the master of the plasterscene and plays rather well too and flycatching master of the guitar solo is practising from his book as we speak and may well be with us. |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 12 Jul 09 - 06:09 AM and another late addition to the Anglesey Fest, Tony Smith and John his singing partner formerly Kick the Cat who used to be based in London, a fantastic addition to our list of performers. This due have a comic edge to their serious folk music and are a real delight. Just a reminder, booked bands will play in the lounge bar and on-going sessions and singarouds will be either outside or in the dining room pending weather. It's getting closer!! Really looking forward to it. I believe there are still a few rooms left but still plenty of camping. |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 12 Jul 09 - 06:15 AM Will there be any |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 12 Jul 09 - 06:17 AM ........or will I need the 'SatLav' again? |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 12 Jul 09 - 06:21 AM I am afraid that you will need your 'sat lav' as facilities same as last year, outside loo for night time emergencies and the lavatorial faculties in the hotel available all weekend. Jo keeps the doors open through the night if you wish to walk a little further for a warm loo seat without spiders! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: GUEST,Bass Harmony Date: 12 Jul 09 - 08:57 AM Really looking forward to it. It was quite something last year to open my caravan door and watch the dolphins swimming by ( In the sea, not the camp site.). Then we all went to the hotel and ended up sitting outside on a balmy evening murdering folk songs as we had all had a little too much falling over juice. A real Plastered Scene.(Sorry). If you haven't been before then this is about as laid back as music weekends get. Pre Madonnas need not apply. |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 12 Jul 09 - 09:00 AM Wot's a Pre Madonna? |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: GUEST,Bass Harmony Date: 12 Jul 09 - 09:02 AM Just read my entry back and my English Teacher would have killed me and it appears that Busy Lizzie is a teacher (Help). My caravan was in the camp site which was on the land and the dolphins were in the sea which is conveniently very near the land, well next door really. The Hotel is also on dry land. |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: GUEST,Bass Harmony Date: 12 Jul 09 - 09:04 AM Ask a pre Madonna they will be only too pleased to explain.It's something like a Primadonna . |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 12 Jul 09 - 09:09 AM Madonna, is she coming?! I hope she brings the kids! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: terrier Date: 12 Jul 09 - 12:31 PM Prob'ly not safe to let kids near bulls.. or red tents for that matter.. if Madonna's on the guest list, I'll be there! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Bass Harmony Date: 13 Jul 09 - 06:12 AM Madonna may be there, there is some talk of her adopting a welsh child. There are no worries about the Bull, he will be kept at Bay! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Barry Finn Date: 14 Jul 09 - 01:14 AM I'm very excited to find out that close by they'll be dolphins swimming with the Madonna & child (Welsh? I was thinking she was Greek) at a near by beach. Do they also sing? I'm asking about the Dolphins, I'm sure that the Madonna & kid do some harmoonies together at night. Barry |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 14 Jul 09 - 06:49 AM Ooh Dear I do hope we can keep up with your expectations, the dolphins are porpoises and Madonna hasn't been seen in public for some time!! But you never know!! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Bass Harmony Date: 14 Jul 09 - 06:53 AM As long as it's Harmoonies and not harpoonies, we should see a few dolphins or porpoises or something though. Big Fish. Any truth in the rumour that Flipper is on the Bill???????? I've packed my Bikini, sun block souwester and wellies, well it is in wales. |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 14 Jul 09 - 09:12 AM Don't forget your tent! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: terrier Date: 14 Jul 09 - 03:47 PM Well, if God is walking his porpoise out, you might get a vision of the Madonna and child as well? |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 15 Jul 09 - 05:18 AM There is no truth in the recent rumour that the world famous welsh fiddler Stefan Grapelli will be visiting. |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 15 Jul 09 - 05:31 AM Not same's this bloke then? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St%C3%A9phane_Grappelli |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: terrier Date: 15 Jul 09 - 06:47 AM I'm sure Stefan ap Grapelli will be there in spirit if he can :) |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 15 Jul 09 - 07:03 AM I don't remeber booking him! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Bass Harmony Date: 15 Jul 09 - 07:14 AM There is obviously some confusion here. Stefan Grappelli was French. The famous and oft confused dazzling Welsh fiddler is Stefan Grallelli. Simplz ! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: terrier Date: 15 Jul 09 - 07:22 AM Was he from Pwllhelllli ? |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Bass Harmony Date: 15 Jul 09 - 07:36 AM No he comes from Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwymdobwllllantysiliogogogoch. Translated into English this means. Small town just over the bridge with very little to offer apart from a ridiculously long name, a dysfunctional station and a large tourist shop full of fat American tourists. Nice Place though. Turn Left just over the Britannia brigde. |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 15 Jul 09 - 08:03 AM Didn't they call him Cosher Grappelli? |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 15 Jul 09 - 08:12 AM A well-known fiddler Grappelli Played a gig in Abergele And he gave it so much welly They could hear him in Pwllheli Was you ever saw, was you ever saw Was you ever saw such a funny thing before? |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 15 Jul 09 - 09:05 AM .......now there's lovely! |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Dave Roberts Date: 15 Jul 09 - 01:21 PM Hear that? That whirring sound is the sound of my ancestors turning in their graves... David Gareth Roberts |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Bass Harmony Date: 15 Jul 09 - 03:13 PM Request from one of my young ones. Are we allowed to have a beach bonfire and sit around it massacring folk music? And perhaps throwing on the odd melodeon to keep the flames going. I know there is a harbour master and a life boat and stuff, don't want to upset the natives. (if you aint been before you can visit the life boat. It gets very lonely. And you can buy an RNLI pencil or something.) As for Dave Roberts being of welsh extraction,NEVER, he was born in a pub in Wheelock and has lived in various pubs in Middlewich ever since !!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 16 Jul 09 - 03:40 AM You can talk Bass Harmony! You come from a place so flat we have to give you an oxygen mask before you can walk to tesco! I am under instruction that no folk music will be massacred at the Bull Bay Festival. Burning of melodeons at your own risk. No melodeons were harmed in the making of this thread. |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Dave Roberts Date: 16 Jul 09 - 06:47 AM It's true. I was born in the building next door to the Nag's Head in Wheelock (pronounced 'Willock')which is now an insurance company or something. In 1952 it was Sandbach Nursing Home and mothers-to-be went there to give birth. It's also true that I have lived in various pubs in Middlewich ever since, but I have had a leek in each one, so I still qualify. |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Dave Roberts Date: 16 Jul 09 - 09:35 AM Just to darg this thread, kicking and screaming, back on topic, here's a link to the original info page which has links to other links, including a link to back here. More links than a chain link fence, to quote Oscar Wilde. link |

|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: terrier Date: 16 Jul 09 - 04:59 PM Well, the boss has given me leave of absence so's I can come to your fezzie. Can anyone tell me if I have to book in advance to park a campervan or will I have to dos in the layby? |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 17 Jul 09 - 03:38 AM Fantastic, no campervans will need to be parked in layby's as there aren't any conveniently close - so drive right up to the hotel and up the little drive at the back and you will find more happy campers there! No you don't need to book in advance! This is as much advance notice as we need! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Bass Harmony Date: 17 Jul 09 - 04:33 AM I do hope Mr Happy will have put his little ditty to music by the time we all arrive. |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 17 Jul 09 - 10:14 AM Last year, there was a Viking festival on at nearby Amlwch & there some activities also near Bull Bay, anyone know if its on this time? |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 17 Jul 09 - 10:44 AM As far as I know Jo picked a different weekend so everyone all be at Bull Bay! Hooray!! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Bass Harmony Date: 18 Jul 09 - 05:22 AM We went shopping in Camaes cause there are no shops at Bull Bay and we went for a meal there. There were some rock band playing in various pubs for some sort of festival weekend. It was Ok. Meal Nice. Try the Black Welsh Pie. |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 18 Jul 09 - 08:42 AM Don't forget Bull Bay Hotel is a very highly recommended fish restaraunt! They also have great bar meals and very good chips! Update, Acoustak may be with us Sunday and Tony and John from London based band Kick the Cat are definately joining us Friday and Saturday. Sadly Picnic Area Andy and Wayne are unable to be with us. I think there was also a festival at one of the bays we went to visit where the RNLI did a demo rescue and there was a bit of a street fair, but I was cross as the demo then turned into a water fight in the harbour and all the kids (and grown ups) on their boats were having lots of fun with water filled balloons then popping them, I couldn't help thinking about all the bits of non biodegradable balloon in the water! Didn't seem too eco-friendly to me!! |

|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 19 Jul 09 - 09:53 AM It's just occured to me that since we'll be in Wales, & Mr Roberts is Welsh, then my new Grappelli song should be done in Welsh a la Les Barker. Unfortunately, I have no grasp of Cymraeg but can compromise by at least pronouncing all the double 'L' words in the Welsh way. If you happen to hear me performing it, then it won't mean I'm attempting to clear my throat prior to imminent expectoration!! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 19 Jul 09 - 10:22 AM Incidentallly, if you re-arrange all the letters of 'Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey' , you get 'unbelievably stagy fellas!' Could this be an omen? |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Dave Roberts Date: 24 Jul 09 - 06:50 AM Well, there's just one week to go (or less than that if you include Lizzie's Thursday for early arrivers). Lost In The Mist will be there on Sunday afternoon. This may be construed as saving the best until last or as putting off the evil day, as preferred. |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: billybob Date: 24 Jul 09 - 08:23 AM Piece of usless information for you, Pete Chopping( one time bass player with Skinners Rats)owned, and lived on, "The Pride Of Anglesea" which was the RNLI lifeboat at Bull Bay, built in 1904. It was a sailing lifeboat and later converted into a rather lovely live on boat.Legend has it that when he bought it, in Lowestoft, he then sailed down the East coast to the River Medway with an AA road map! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 24 Jul 09 - 08:56 AM You are most welcome to impart useless info here! The rest of us do! That is a little more interesting though! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 24 Jul 09 - 10:13 AM Here's a bird's eye view of the pub & camp field http://www.multimap.com/maps/?zoom=16&countryCode=GB&qs=GL556UR#map=53.42368,-4.37069|18|32&bd=useful_information&loc=GB:53.4228 The campsite's up the track going north past the hotel, then to the left. You can see how close to the cliffs & sea it is! |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: GUEST,Val & Ral Date: 25 Jul 09 - 02:26 PM Have really enjoyed reading all the emails so far.building up so much anticipation. First time at the festival (have been to many bigger festivals in the past, but this sounds like the best) but have been to the Bull Bay Hotel a few times, always in fantastic weather. Good to see an East Anglian link (from Lost in the Mist) as we are travelling from Norwich.... how many are travelling further I wonder? I am a quarter Welsh tho & will call in on family in N. Wales on the way over.Billybob's email very interesting as I, Val am from The Medway Towns (on the River Mudway) & Ral is from Lowestoft! BTW on a pratical note.....will there be a stand pipe in that camping field? See y'all soon, Val & Ral |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Dave Roberts Date: 26 Jul 09 - 12:35 PM UHU adhesive is named after the Uhu, or eagle owl. |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 26 Jul 09 - 12:38 PM Pertaining to facilities! Water - I tried to send this earlier but Mudcat was off for a bit! THere is an outdoor water tap at the back of the hotel so not in the camping field but a short walk about 50 yards. If you need any help moving water - let us know. On that point there isn't a point for getting rid of waste, but there is an outside loo, close to the back of the hotel, but facilities inside are available all weekend and through the night! As Mr Happy says, nothing is more than a 5 minute walk. The track is a little bumpy and you'll need a torch for night time, but that's camping! The views in the morning are well worth it! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: terrier Date: 26 Jul 09 - 06:09 PM Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Dave Roberts - PM Date: 26 Jul 09 - 12:35 PM UHU adhesive is named after the Uhu, or eagle owl. I immediately searched for a pic of an Eagle Owl by typing UHU into Google. Mistake! Pages and pages of UHU's and not one pic of a bird of prey! :) Try Bubo Bubo.. OK, I'm bored... |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Dave Roberts Date: 26 Jul 09 - 09:48 PM Well, quite. But now that we have established that this thread may be used to impart completely useless information. I would like to tell everyone who may be interested (and also everyone else) that the first person to photograph ice crystals with a microscope was William A Bentley (1865-1931). And I have an impeccable source for my UHU information, I'll have you know. On the other hand, I'd hate anyone to think I was just posting drivel on this thread in order to keep it going until the Bull Bay Festival actually starts. Perish the thought. |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 27 Jul 09 - 05:02 AM I'd like to get it 100 posts by the time I leave on Wed afternoon! Do you think we can do it! |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 27 Jul 09 - 05:21 AM OK, how much |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 27 Jul 09 - 06:33 AM Hope his post doesn't mean we may expect ice crystals at the weakend! |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: My guru always said Date: 27 Jul 09 - 07:37 AM Met Office are showing the chance of showers for Holyhead on Friday, maybe they'll miss Bull Bay! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Dave Roberts Date: 28 Jul 09 - 04:14 AM Now here's a bit of useless information which will go a little way towards putting this thread back on topic. My researches indicate that the word 'Mist' in German is slang for..er..manure. However, some would say that this merely makes the name 'Lost In The Mist' even more appropriate. |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 28 Jul 09 - 04:40 AM Some worrying news for mudcatters ears only just at present. I had a phone call from a very shocked Trefor Williams yesterday as of Vicki and Trefor to say that Vicki is quite ill and they won't be joining us at the weekend. I do have more info but will tell you more at the weekend, speaking on behalf of all their good friends I am sure we will all want to wish her a speedy recovery and I know we will all think of a way to wish her better and we'll all look forward to seeing them both at future festivals and events! |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Bass Harmony Date: 28 Jul 09 - 04:41 AM Beware of the Mist on the Campsite AKA the field that usually has cows in behind, the Hotel. One must be especially careful of Der Mist in the mist. |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Bass Harmony Date: 28 Jul 09 - 05:36 AM For those of you who are avid Lost in Der Mist fans. They will be performing at the Woodside caravan park Llanssantffraid Powys . On the Saturday night. This is a short 2 hour drive from Bull Bay. Incidentally word check does not like the word Llansantffraid and offers the alternative.... Antidepressant. |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Dave Roberts Date: 28 Jul 09 - 06:43 AM Just to echo Mr H's words about Vicky. Let's hope she's soon feeling better. |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 28 Jul 09 - 08:48 AM ...............counting down, only another 3 & 1/2 days to go, [2 1/2 for those going Thursday] I'm picking Mrs H upfrom work in Liverpool around 2pm ish on Friday, then straight to Bull Bay - Yippee! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Bass Harmony Date: 28 Jul 09 - 03:00 PM Caravan on drive, battery charging. We are off at about 2pm tomorrow so we can have a couple of days with the kids, digging mantraps on the campsite, watering the beer and arranging torrential down pours. You can be sure we will nick the best camping spot. We will also be removing local road signs so we don't get disturbed by guitar strumming unshaven folk types. |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 28 Jul 09 - 03:13 PM Terry Wogan happened to mention on his 'ask Lynne' spot a morning or two ago a particular road sign pointing to something in Camaes that read, '...............previous left! Can't remember what he said it was pointing to but I am going to find it! |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Bass Harmony Date: 28 Jul 09 - 03:35 PM Only one more entry before the magic 100 is reached then we can start the Bull Bay at New year thread. Mind you I will hopefully be gigging at New Year again. Any one want a Ceilidh Band for new year ???? Right must go and put my bucket and spade in the Caravan. Is this a cynical way of making 100 entries???? |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Barry Finn Date: 28 Jul 09 - 09:44 PM We (Carole, Andrew & myself) are now in Swansea looking for my voice that I lost in Scarbrough & hoping to find it on Anglesey before we arrive, reguardless, we are hoping to drive out the mist & rain on our way up.

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 29 Jul 09 - 03:39 AM Mist and rain pretty much guaranteed I am afraid! But that won't stop the music and making merry! Looking forward to meeting you. |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 29 Jul 09 - 05:24 AM Bass Harmony 'Right must go and put my bucket and spade in the Caravan.' So is this arrangement your solution to overcome the lack of conveniences on the campsite? Very lavish!! 8-) |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 29 Jul 09 - 11:44 AM ............only one & a half days to go - hope the weather bucks up! |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Barry Finn Date: 30 Jul 09 - 02:53 PM Hi All Is there anyone attending that's headed back to the Manchester area after the festival that I can accompany & spilt travel expenses with? I can leave the festival after it's over or continue camping till Monday morn. I have a train ticket for Monday late afternoon but thought riding with someone might be more enjoyable for all around. I'll be headed up that way to make my flight home on Wednesday morning. In the meantime if anyone any has suggestions on "folk" musical events, clubs, venues, sessions or sings in the Manchester area that's going on this coming Monday &/or Tuesday, day or evening I'd be very thankful for your input as well as any places to bed & board (cheap) for those couple days. I'll be able to check back here tonight & tomorrow morning, I don't think I'll be near a computer after that but will have my ears & eyes open & on at the festival Thanks, see you tomorrow Barry |

And thank you to everyone for all the appreciative comments after our appearance on Sunday afternoon. See you all again before too long. Bob, Dave and Ian, Lost In The Mist |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Bass Harmony Date: 04 Aug 09 - 01:56 PM Yes it was brill We kept a bit of a head count and there were 70 people in the session room Friday and 50 on Sunday, Missed Saturday cause I was elsewhere, earning Sundays beer money.Not Bad for a little do. I thought some of the music in the garden was particularly nice. See you all around soon . My daughter sang about old mac donald and his slug all the way home. By the way when we got home we discovered a stow away in the bus......Any one missing a sheep ?????? Only it's eaten the vegetable patch and is making a start on the window boxes !! |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 04 Aug 09 - 02:45 PM It was a lovely weekend and the sun shone on the rightious the whole time! Honestly it did! Just a little note, __ __ / / / / 0/0/ 0/0/ __ __ / / / / 0/0/ 0/0/ we all truly missed the good company and not to mention the good singing of both Vicki and Trefor this weekend but I have to say and I am sure you will all agree that the strength of feeling for this lovely couple was overwhelming really. I am sure our singing and music was sending positive thoughts to them both across the Welsh Hills! |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Dave Roberts Date: 05 Aug 09 - 09:07 PM I too was very taken with Mr Happy's version of 'Old MacDonald', featuring eerily accurate impressions of the noises made by, among others, slugs, mute swans, worms and...er...sprouts. This inspired piece should be made part of the national curriculum as soon as possible. |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 06 Aug 09 - 07:12 AM I'm very mollified that most of the congregation enjoyed my compositions. At one stage, I was a little miffed when the wild colonial boy accused me of removing the urine from traditional folksongs! Cheers y'all, & many congrats to Liz for magicing the superb weather, despite the ominous portents of the 'forecasters' Also, big gratitude to all who attended for making our weakend by the sea so pleasureable!! |
|
Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Busy Lizzy Date: 06 Aug 09 - 12:34 PM It wasn't half bad wasn't it, but of course being that I have a hotline to him what provides the weather... all part of the service! We have a date for next year, please put it in your diaries. 30th 31st July 1st August! See you all then! (if not before!) |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Barry Finn Date: 06 Aug 09 - 06:52 PM Thanks to Lizzie & all who had a hand in the festival & thanks to those that extended a welcoming hand. I had a great time espically meeting Mr Happy & Terrier. Jon do not do "Llewellyn and Gelert" as a duet with Mr Happy, you heard what he did with "Old MacDonold", he will turn your wonderfull ballad into a howl, no offense Mr Happy but you do have a way with a song. Tom It was a real pleasue & joy to meet & hear you, sorry to have put you under the spot light so many times but it was worth it Ha,ha. Barry |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: GUEST,Val & Ral Date: 09 Aug 09 - 04:39 PM Finally back in Norwich (via Keswick & York....must get satnav!) & can only reinforce what has already been said about what a great weekend it was in all respects, weather, food, drink but above all the friendly & talented company. Fantastic music from people of all ages has made me determined to master an instrument by next year (yes, I know it takes decades) & to bring musical family members too. (Will also gen up on Sid Kipper to bring a bit of Norfolk culture!)Thanks to everyone involved & see you next year. |
