Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: MoorleyMan Date: 04 Aug 11 - 06:54 PM Looks like I too may miss the Mudgather, Hils - unless it goes on for quite a while - since I'm due to finish compering a concert at 4.15 pm, so I might just make it across in time for the final song (as usual...)! |

Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: Dave Earl Date: 10 Aug 11 - 07:54 PM Would really love to be there with so many chums . But I am commited to a lot of other things and only have so much leave allowance and cash , Dave |
Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: My guru always said Date: 11 Aug 11 - 04:20 AM Yes Dave, we're all spreaading ourselves a little thin between wonderful festivals such as Moira. Sorry you can't make it, maybe next year! |
Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: Ross Date: 11 Aug 11 - 05:06 AM Hi Hills I'm booked - see you there Where's the Mudcat gethering? |
Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: Cats Date: 11 Aug 11 - 11:54 AM see you there. If we start the walk at 11 should be finished by 12 - 12.30 ish so just enough time! |
Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: My guru always said Date: 11 Aug 11 - 01:02 PM Glad to see you're coming along Ross. Think the MudGather will be in the upstairs room of the Railway pub (an excellent room discovered last year), but I'm not totally certain. There will be chocolate, that I do know.... |
Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: Sooz Date: 18 Aug 11 - 12:52 PM There is a warm-up concert in the Railway tomorrow evening - it would be nice to see you there if you arrive early. |
Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: Wheatman Date: 18 Aug 11 - 02:29 AM I didn't think we could get on the camp site until Friday? Gan Canny Brian |
Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: My guru always said Date: 18 Aug 11 - 03:36 AM Will make an attempt at making something chocolatey later today. So looking forward to this weekend at Moira! |
Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: Sooz Date: 18 Aug 11 - 03:52 AM Brian, you are correct, the campsite is not available until Friday afternoon. |
Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: GUEST,Phot at work Date: 18 Aug 11 - 08:36 AM Sorry Fiona and I can't get there after all this year :( But we will be at Towersey and the Wareham Wail. Here's hoping to next year! Wassail!! Chris |

Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: MBSLynne Date: 22 Aug 11 - 08:19 AM Hi guys, I'm back on the Cat! Moira was brilliant..again. The weather was great, the artists were great and, of course, the people were great. The storywalk was wonderful, one of the high spots, and Cats has some really good ideas for next year. Hils had thought there would only be a handful of people at the Mudgather, but the room was packed...at least 35 people there I think. Some wonderful singing and some yummy chocolate. Another high spot. Love Lynne |
Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: Ross Date: 22 Aug 11 - 08:46 AM Thamks to everyone for a brilliant weekend Great location with some brilliant music And the Mudcat gathering was a peach - many thanks for all the chocolate Cheers Hilary & 'I'm everywhere' Mike Gibson fka cllr |
Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: MoorleyMan Date: 22 Aug 11 - 10:28 AM Echoing my personal thanks to all at Moira for another brilliant weekend, it was without doubt the best of the year's fests so far. Fab singing, fab performances from all the stage acts, a fab Mudgather, really good organisation and a great atmosphere, genuinely appreciative and supportive. Dates in diary for next year already! Cheers! |
Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: GUEST,Seaking Date: 22 Aug 11 - 11:13 AM Sorry I missed the Gather but I had a good excuse, sounds like it was a good one. The festival was great again this year and we even got some sunshine at times. Definitely a 'must do' weekend for me from now onwards, just need to watch out for the tickets going early as the numbers are limited to the size of the main stage tent capacity and it was a sell-out this year. Hope everyone got home safely, was great to see you all. Chris |
Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: MBSLynne Date: 22 Aug 11 - 11:35 AM Moorley Man, thanks for running singarounds for me...are you up for doing it again next year? Love Lynne |
Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: Wheatman Date: 22 Aug 11 - 02:36 PM I had a great time and what a location. Sorry about the croaky voice I hope it's not permanent. At least Christine did some singing as well, first time in years. I don't know if we will make it next year but it is on the short list and maybe there will be an invasion from south lincs/ north cambs if we do come. Well done to them oo duz (I speak fen as well as pitmatic) Gan Canny Brian |
Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: My guru always said Date: 23 Aug 11 - 03:44 PM What a Fabulous weekend, well done to all the Committee & Volunteers who put so much effort into making Moira such a success!! As to the MudGather, yes, I was very surprised at seeing so many Catters come along to support it. I had thought that most people would be at the Concerts, very glad so many could come & join the fun. What an excellent venue that upstairs room of the Railway is! And the landlady, Diane, was absolutely wonderful and very accommodating. I understand she's very keen on sessions in the bar and the locals join in too!

Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: Sooz Date: 23 Aug 11 - 03:51 PM We had a brilliant weekend but missed the Mudgather unfortunately. Sorry to miss you all. |
Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: My guru always said Date: 23 Aug 11 - 04:15 PM Alas we didn't put our feedback forms into the box before we left, is there somewhere we can post them? |
Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: Wheatman Date: 24 Aug 11 - 05:02 AM We likewise Brian and Christine |
Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: OlgaJ Date: 24 Aug 11 - 05:11 AM Feedback forms can be posted to Debbie Warren, 37 School Street, Oakthorpe, Swadlincote DE12 7RE Sounds like a good time was had by all! |
Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: GUEST,Seaking Date: 24 Aug 11 - 06:12 AM OlgaJ, was it you I was talking to at the CD stall just before I left the site on Sunday ? Just trying to connect names and faces. Chris(King) |
Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: JennyO Date: 24 Aug 11 - 08:04 AM Sounds like a great festival. I think Rob and I might choose to come next year! As it turns out, it's probably just as well we didn't come this year, as I had a stinking cold since last Wednesday which has turned into bronchitis and I'm on antibiotics now. I don't seem to have adjusted to the UK bugs yet :( |
Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: OlgaJ Date: 24 Aug 11 - 01:31 PM Seaking It might have been me, what were we talking about? I was up there late afternoon just before we left but there were lots of people about and I can't actually remember who I talked to. I'm short and dumpy and was probably wearing a striped hat. |
Subject: RE: Moira Furnace Folk Festival 2011 From: Bounty Hound Date: 24 Aug 11 - 04:13 PM Nice to know I was 'spotted', sorry not to get over to the gather as we were on main stage that afternoon, but I hear a good time was had by all. Moira Furnace just keeps getting better and better, well done to all involved on the committee and in any way with organisation, stewarding etc. Special thanks from me to John King for the loan of his spare gas bottle! I know I speak for all the Bounty Hounds in saying that we all had a fantastic weekend, and two great gigs. Personal highlights, Jez Lowe on Friday evening, and a super set from Chris King (seaking) on Sunday. Hounds won't be back next year as a band, we've done two and of course they want to ring the changes, (although 2013 was mentioned a couple of times!) might just have to book a ticket myself if the band is not busy elsewhere. Thanks for having us from all the Hounds, keep up the good work! John |
