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!

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: Dave Roberts Date: 16 Jul 09 - 09:38 AM Let me just try that again. 'Darg' by the way, is East Anglian for the English word 'drag'. link |

Subject: RE: Bull Bay Festival, Anglesey From: Mr Happy Date: 16 Jul 09 - 10:49 AM A mandolinist named Correlli Went to dine with Steph Grappelli Having Tagliatelli & Vermicelli They both came down with Delhi Belly Was you ever saw, was you ever saw Was you ever saw such a funny thing before? |
