Hope to catch up with you there sometime Saturday. This thread has attracted spam in the several years since it was last posted to legitimately.

'The spectacular end to the weekend was Dave's tent disintigrating in the increasing gale but I claimed the bits to make a better porch for my large tent. It's an ill wind..... ;-)' *********** Likewise, I was able to repair my tent with the disgarded bits from The Gloom Band's damaged one, the only extra expense being new 'Knicker elastic' replacemnt shock cording for the poles. Now I understand why its called 'shock' cording because've the price! |

(North Wales) From: terrier Date: 13 Apr 10 - 02:21 PM Em, the URL you linked to works fine and I can see Mark's pics, but it was a different URL to the one Mark posted. Confused :) I hadn't realised just how bad the weather was on the last night, the gentle rocking of the van kept me sound asleep so I missed all the 'fun'. Mr. Happy, how did your SATLAV fair in the gale, it would be a brave person to go in there :) |

Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Mr Happy Date: 13 Apr 10 - 07:23 AM Apologies to all for my tardiness in not responding about the Easter sesh 'til now. As Seaker reports above, many tents, including ours, got wrecked by the gales in the early hours of Bank Holiday Monday morning, so we had to pack up & leave for home rather abruptly, without having an opportunity to say thanks & farewell to everyone. However, the weather was kind during the remainder of the weekend & all the sessions were superb, thanks to the diversity of talent & entertaining contributions of the assembled guests. Also a big thank you to the hotel landlady, Joanne, for Finally, many thanks to all who attended to make the event so enjoyable with their excellent musical & vocal perormances. |

Especially when the wonderful British weather is at it's entertaining best,it certainly didn't disappoint us, the VW was leaking in places I didn't know there were places befor. I thought there was someone flying a kite on the cliffs at one point, but I realised it was a popup tent ;) Mind, the in pub entertainment was pretty good as well. Thanks to all involved for a great session. |

Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Tally Ho Man Date: 01 Apr 10 - 08:28 AM A55 will be the one for us! Is the hard standing still OK for us with the tin tents? Will see you all tomorrow. Whoop de doo! |

Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Mr Happy Date: 01 Apr 10 - 08:23 AM In view of recent weather, am revising anticipated journey route. I'm now going to chance the A55tomorrow, hoping that the usual holidaymaking crowds'll've been deterred by the snow! |

Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Mr Happy Date: 31 Mar 10 - 07:55 AM Latest news!!! Severe weather conditions, in the form of heavy snow, are affecting parts of North Wales including the Bull Bay area of Anglesey. I have just spoken to Joanne, the hotel licensee, & she says conditions there at the moment are apalling, strong winds & driving snow. However, all is not lost!! Joanne says that folk are welcome to camp on the front garden of the hotel, as its more sheltered there, also better access to toilets etc. Also indoor camping will be available inside the hotel, in the dining room & function room. For those travelling on Thursday 1st April, the campsite & hotel gardens will be available all day, but the hotel is not open until 6pm. |

Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Mr Happy Date: 31 Mar 10 - 05:09 AM Seayaker, Good suggestion to use the A5 & view scenic Snowdonia on the way - hope there won't be any snow!! |
|
Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Seayaker Date: 30 Mar 10 - 08:34 AM If you are coming from the Midlands or South, use the A5 through the mountains. Much nicer and usually traffic free. I've used the A55 on a friday eve. for weekends in Anglesey and its free flowing but on sunday eve. it's chock solid so its the A5. |
|

Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Mr Happy Date: 28 Mar 10 - 06:14 AM In view of the recent sad news of Vicki Williams' passing, I'm hopeful that we'll all be celebrating her life & contributions to both Welsh and national folk culture in these islands, during our weekend in Anglesey.

Subject: RE: EasterMudFolk Anglesey :Come on! (North Wales) From: Dave Roberts Date: 03 Mar 10 - 02:50 PM This looks like being another stormin' weekend (though not literally, I hope). I've explained to Mr H in a PM that LITM won't be able to make it, as Mr Webb has other commitments (and so do I, for once) but we're hoping to make a dramatic re-appearance at the Festival in August, following last year's hugely enjoyable event. Have a great Easter, folks! |
