Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: Uncle Tone Date: 29 Jul 13 - 08:02 AM I don't think I'd reach the HCHP in my motor home unless I fit caterpillar tracks. If I volunteer as a bouncer for the next festival, can I park it in that grassy gap in front of the main stage? Tone |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Date: 29 Jul 13 - 05:51 AM I can thoroughly recommend the Happy Campers Holiday Park which is just up the road from Blitherscrum. Well, to get there you would have to turn right just past the Plumbers Armpits onto a narrow tarmaced road. After about three miles the road runs out and turns into an unclassified farm track. Follow that for about fifteen miles and you will come to a footpath which crosses a large swamp. HCHP is on the far side of the swamp. It is well served with stunning views of Mount Cesspit and of the bog itself. The site is well catered for, with two chemical toilets and an outside tap, but you may need to take a scythe to clear away the brambles and thistles which infest that part of Mount Cesspit. Also, note that the site is on a 1/5 gradient, so be careful how you pitch your tent. And it would be as well to remember that the owner uses the field out of season to graze cattle and sheep. Unfortunately he sometimes forgets which is out of season and which isn't. So you may need to negotiate the interminable mire of cow pats. The site owners are extremely hospitable and friendly, provided that you catch them awake, and they sell a wide range of farm produce. This includes bramble marmalade and deadly nightshade jam. I've never tried the latter but I'm assured all the poison is extracted. And there's always a plentiful supply of crocodile eggs. I forgot to mention that the mountain provides a natural amphitheatre, which is dead handy for amplifying all those late night raves which some of the campers enjoy. Well, at least they keep the knife fights among themselves. Overall rating. Four and a half stars out of five. I deducted a half star following the length of time it took them to get that dead sheep out of the drinking water. |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: Uncle Tone Date: 28 Jul 13 - 07:41 AM Can anyone recommend an alternative camping site? I'm not prepared to camp at Blitherscrum Farm any more (Hey, that could almost be a Dylan song), not after that antipodean couple took it over, who are trying to introduce down-under farming methods. That's how that infamous headline, you might recall, occurred in the Daily Mail: AN EMU ATE MY AUTOHARP Tone |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Date: 28 Jul 13 - 05:52 AM Well it's A better slogan than the one which was used by a chain of gent's hairdressers here on Merseyside. The name of the chain was Thatchers (this was at the height of tory misrule BTW), and the slogan read "HAVE IT OFF AT THATCHERS". |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: Georgiansilver Date: 27 Jul 13 - 05:35 PM Yes, quite a hair raising experience apparently! Which reminds me.. a new Hairdressers has opened in Blitherscrum so ladies bear that in mind next year... you can get your hair done at ":Curl Up and Dye" run my ms's Short, Back and Sides! |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: Old Grey Wolf Date: 27 Jul 13 - 09:41 AM I went to a few different schools when I was a boy; The Ginger Whinger asked if I had been to school in Blither, and when I said that I hadn't he called me a Blithering idiot! - bloody cheek! |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Date: 25 Jul 13 - 06:15 AM Matthew. No. The first prize should be free tickets to any festival in the country except Blitherscrum. |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: Matthew Edwards Date: 24 Jul 13 - 01:54 PM Mr Batho tells me he will be resuming strict control at the Belvedere this week after so many songs celebrating lost (and restored) maidenheads last time. Concerning the 'Write a Folk Song for Blitherscrum' contest could the prize be freedom from the town, exempting the winner from ever having to go anywhere near the place again? The new Full English project at the EFDSS has already uncovered several songs relating to Blitherscrum which await resurrection:- The Spaniard That Blithered My Life The Shores of Old Blither Daydream Blitherer Ol' Man Blither Matthew Edwards (the author of one decent song, and several not so decent ones) |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: Old Grey Wolf Date: 24 Jul 13 - 01:25 PM Aah, all the old songs, coming back; its like nostalgia, that's coming back as well, and regression (perhaps that's just a dream though). Will the Blitherscrum song contest be a headline event in 2014, or will the winning song just sneak out and pretend to have been collected by folk detectives? |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: GUEST,Big George Date: 24 Jul 13 - 01:14 PM Aha. Blaming me for what happened to the couscous is it? Let me tell you the incident connected with that couscous is burned into my consciousness forevermore. Scarred me for life it has. That's the reason I wander into the Belvidere singing daft songs about The Barons and The Spoons and taping everything up with sellotape and demanding entry to that little back room. I know what you've got going on in there. Yvonne and Jane singing rude songs, that's what. Total corruption of public morals, that's what it is. And just around the corner from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Hall as well! A repository of everything in music that's ethical and noble and dignified and proper that place is. It's so world renowned even that bloke Vladimir Ashkenazy has been known to tickle the ivories once or twice there. And I've got my tickets for their Americana weekend with BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet and Steve Riley & The Mamou Playboys. So there. |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: GUEST,Little George Date: 24 Jul 13 - 12:00 PM Daddy, if I can call you that, I knew you would turn up again one day. Mummy says the incident in Marrakesh with the goat was probably a misunderstanding, and what you do with the couscous is entirely your own business. She sold the lyrics of your song to a bearded man who sweet talked her one night in the Lion Tavern who must have been that impostor and charlatan, Matthew Edwards. She even told him that she was born in the NHS and he went and pinched that line from her. She desperately needed the money however to keep us all in food and clothing. Have you seen that the first LPs of the Lovebites are now selling on eBay for over £1500? Well, Mummy has got some of the tapes from the Eel Pie Island sessions when you were still in the band. She thinks they could fetch quite a lot of money and is willing to share it with you. You can get in touch with her via her Nigerian bank account. Little George |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Date: 24 Jul 13 - 11:26 AM Ignore that Matthew Edwards! He is an impostor and a charlatan who is trying to upstage me and do me out of the acclaim and the royalties, which are rightfuly mine, and force me to spend the rest of my life in utter penury drinking half pints in the Belvidere and singing with my hand over my ear. Anyway Matthew Edwards only ever wrote one decent song in his life; that one about the NHS, and I'd have written it if I'd thought of it first. Yours Sincerely, Gorgeous George, sorry, Speedy George. |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: Georgiansilver Date: 24 Jul 13 - 11:12 AM I have had a brainwave! 'A Write a Folk Song for Blitherscrum' competition. The prize would be freedom of the town (Upper Ramsbottom) free entry to next years Festival and if the winner wanted... a place on the Blitherscrum Folk Festival committee. What do we think Folks? |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: Matthew Edwards Date: 24 Jul 13 - 10:34 AM Old Grey Wolf, your request take me back to days long before the Blitherscrum Festival to that amazing summer of 68 (or was it 67?) when Old Farmer Jones's son, Speedy George, established a sort of commune out on Eel Pie Island in the River Blither and he used to sing this song late at night. When the weather is fine come and have a good time, Messing about on the Blither; For all kinds of vice, there is nothing so nice, As messing about on the Blither. Losers and users with all kinds of dope, Cruise with a nice girl who'll tie you with rope, So take off your kit, turn on for a bit, Come messing about on the Blither. Lebanon Red that will leave you half dead, When you're messing about on the Blither; Acid for trips with hip cats on the ships, While messing about on the Blither. Potions and lotions and all sorts of pills, Leave you reeling and feeling green in the gills, So lie down on your back,be free with the smack, When you're messing about on the Blither. Stardust and golden, Aquarian children, Messing about on the Blither; Generation of love we will not move, From messing about on the Blither. Onwards and upwards we'll sail to the stars, Calling at all ports to Venus and Mars, The universe calls, break down the walls, By messing about on the Blither. Drop out of school, come and be cool, Come messing about on the Blither; You're never square with flowers in your hair, When you're messing about on the Blither. Guitars are strumming, bongoes are drummming, You can hear the air filled with musical hummimg, Float along in your boat while you take a tote, Just messing about on the Blither. Or perhaps you were thinking of this song? Messing About on the River/Tony Hatch I wonder what happened to Speedy George? He was in the original line-up of the prog rock band The Lovebites but disappeared in Morocco before they cut their seminal first LP 'The Flight of the Fairy Fortune Teller'. |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Date: 24 Jul 13 - 10:30 AM Would this be the one? It goes to the tune of Messing About On The River at any rate. If you're out on the town, why don't you go down and hear the folksingers at Blither. If you've no strict aversion to music's diversion, then make the excursion to Blither. There are all kinds of wonderful folksingers there who can't hold a note and can't hum an air. They get their folksongs from Christ only knows where. And you'll hear every last one at Blither. To the musical ear it's painful to hear the excruciations of Blither. If you've taste and decorum you'll surely deplore 'em when you hear the singers at Blither. There are singers who sing in a hushed monotone and singers who bawl in a hideous moan. By the end you'll be singing a heartfelt ochone for the night that you spent down at Blither. They have an MC who, for barbarity beats Attila the Hun down at Blither. In manner chaotic and behaviour despotic he rules the proceedings at Blither. He'll call you to sing while you're out for a leak and then says I'm sorry, just come back next week. God help you if you aren't one of that clique, who sing all the folksongs at Blither. Don't stand too near the door or one night I am sure you're bound to get flattened at Blither. For the thunderous horde don't wait till you applaud, they storm straight on board down at Blither. They take up their seats in the midst of the song and sit there and natter the whole evening long. And look at you as if you don't quite belong, when you call for some order at Blither. Of drunks I've seen them all, but I just can't recall where you'd find a profusion like Blither. They roll in through the door and they fall on the floor. You can't move for the buggers at Blither. They snore somnambulistically all through the night, then wake and invite everybody to fight. Then stagger off home without saying 'Goodnight'. They've such elegant manners at Blither. The night of the fight you'd have sworn that the blight must have cast its long shadow on Blither. For the corpses in piles lay stacked up for miles on the cobbles and tiles around Blither. Though no-one remembers who fired the first shot and blinds have been drawn over what started what, The count of the carnage will ne'er be forgot, when they slaughtered each other at Blither. It's like going to mass, for they pass round the glass. to enhance the finances of Blither. With the clinking of tin as the money goes in, they drown out the singing at Blither. But the audience there think that it's quite alright. They don't start to fuss and they don't start to fight. For they reckon that it's the best part of the night, when you can't hear the singers at Blither. You may ask me true if I'll advise you on avoiding the singers at Blither. No policy devious or engagement previous do you need to steer well clear of Blither. I know that it sounds most distinctly severe, but make one resolution to never go near. And I promise you that your censorious ear won't suffer the singers at Blither. |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: Old Grey Wolf Date: 24 Jul 13 - 08:37 AM An old song I can't remember the words of. As I do recall, the last line was "Just messing about on the Blither" Can anyone remember the other words? |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: Georgiansilver Date: 23 Jul 13 - 04:59 PM On the subject of dogs..please be aware if you bring your dog next year and have to leave it on the camp..there is a strange man who was caught ..by me...trying to commit an indecent act with someones unattended dog. I did say to him "How low can you get"? but he answered with "OOOOH a dacshund is about me lowest so far". Incidentally if your dog poos anywhere it is your responsibility to clean it up...there are dog poo bins available and "Super dooper pooper scoopers" to pick it up with will be available for purchase. Stewards are still needed for next years Festival but if applying please remember that you must be at least 3' 6" tall in stockinged feet or taller with high heels (especially the men). |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Date: 22 Jul 13 - 09:34 AM Many thanks are due to our resident musicmaccolligist Vic Smith for explaining to us the keys of U and R. Here in Liverpool however, we have a long history of successfully assimilating ethnic groups from all over the world, with the result that we have some very interesting hybrid harmonies. EG:- We combine the keys of Arrrrh And A, as in "Ahhhh eyyyy, the pub's shut. Wherwe gonna gerra bevy from now at dis time er night?" Also it is common to find the keys of A and U combined, as in "Eh You. Gerroff me friggin' sarnies". |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: Vic Smith Date: 22 Jul 13 - 08:36 AM Mr Happy wrote:- "Sorry, there's no keys of U or R" Well, that is true... but only if you are prepared to be hidebound by conventional musical theory. There is a broader way of regarding keys in music. Let me explain:- The key of U or to give it the proper title of YOU!!!! - This is the key much favoured by the duller class of singer/songwriter who pen their interminable ditties about their girlfriends leaving them as in all these songs that begin - YOU!!!! left me broken-hearted, The key of R or to give it the proper title of ARRRRH - This is the key much favoured by fake West Country yokel bands inspired by The Wurzels whose songs start with the lines - ARRRRH The frost was on the turmot-tops I hope this clears up your misunderstanding of the broader, more folk music friendly, range of musical notation. |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Date: 21 Jul 13 - 07:47 AM Ginger Whinger. A Mongolian nose flute competition would need a lot of Mongolian noses, and that would mena a lot of Mongolians. And that would mean a lot of Mongolian camels and yaks. And that would cause no end of trouble between feeding them, picking up their droppings from the street and the devil only knows what. I still remember the chaos a few years ago when that crowd of Andean musicians brought their alpacas with them, and one of them ate someone's straw hat. |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: GUEST,The Ginger Whinger Date: 21 Jul 13 - 07:34 AM I'm surprised at the use or even consider RV or caravans! Surely when you are camping the excitement is intents? |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: GUEST,Ginger Whinger Date: 21 Jul 13 - 07:31 AM I was once told that folkies only know four chords and only use three! I asked what they preferred and they said Status Quo!!!!!! |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: GUEST,The Ginger Whinger Date: 21 Jul 13 - 07:27 AM I was told it would be a good idea to include a workshop on Mongolian nose flute....but its not, is it? |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: GUEST,Gail Date: 20 Jul 13 - 04:18 PM Speaking of Celtic mishaps, men should be banned from wearing kilts in the Spot the Ball competition. Last year everybody spotted it when Jock McStrap bent over to complete his entry. |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Date: 20 Jul 13 - 03:29 PM Air guitars is it? There was a bloke used to busk the streets of Liverpool at one time. He played a harp. The trouble was it had no strings, so the wags christened him The Lost Chord. |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: Vic Smith Date: 20 Jul 13 - 01:39 PM Vic, I bet you have been playing an air guitar tuned in the conventional EADGBE. There's your big mistake. It seems that a modern folkie can't hold his head up unless he tunes his axe in a "hard-to-do tuning which he made up himself." Gosh! Thanks, Leenia - so that is my problem. Right, just wait until I hit the judges next year with my air-12-string. I must think up my own tuning for it. Has anyone got a finger chart for a 12 string tuned to B-U-G-G-E-R? |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Date: 20 Jul 13 - 05:00 AM If we're going to re-enact Child Ballads then I would like to nominate Child Owlet (291). Some said, Child Owlet he should hang, Some said that he should burn, Some said they would hae Child Owlet Between wild horses torn. --------------------------------- There was nae stane on Elkin muir, Nor broom nor bonny whin, But drappit wi' Child Owlet's blood And pieces of his skin. That should give the Blitherscrum Argot something to think about. They've been looking for a reason to ban us for years. |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Date: 19 Jul 13 - 07:28 AM Oh hell. Does this mean this year's Blitherscrum has been and gone? I had it down in my diary for Octember 32nd. As a matter of fact I've always gone to Blitherscrum for the last weekend in Octember, and could never understand why it was so quiet. No marquees. No tents. No bar. No fast food stalls and no music. Just the squelching of the effluent pump as it dispersed the local sewage into the river Blither. |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: Matthew Edwards Date: 19 Jul 13 - 07:13 AM Well I have finally made it home after my first visit to Blitherscrum (the local magistrate was most understanding). It did take me a while to find the site though, since when I enquired for directions to the Queen's Legs the old gentleman I asked had a nasty accident with his vowels and sent me instead to the neighbouring village of Blatherscrum. There I found the annual bad joke festival in full swing, with the contest for the World's Longest Joke Without a Punchline still running since the previous year. I eventually found a disused footpath which led me through Blitherscrum Parva and Blitherscrum Bottom to the festival site proper just in time for the Air Guitar Competition. Sadly I found I had left my air capo at home and I had to borrow one from another player, but it was a left-handed one so my tuning was all out. I very much enjoyed the Child Ballad Re-enactment Workshop, especially the performance of The Outlandish Knight when the very attractive blonde removed her fine holland smock and pushed the knight into the River Blither where Farmer Jones had just released a silo of his finest slurry. The parrot unfortunately kept on squawking long after his turn was over and it completely and utterly ruined my rendition of Tam Lin. My heavy-metal shanty team the Shanty Crüe was eliminated from the Silent Shanty semi-final for performing a halyard shanty where a capstan was required (or it may have been the other way round). I look forward to attending next year's festival once I have resolved my bail conditions. Matthew |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: Georgiansilver Date: 17 Jul 13 - 10:06 AM There were a lot of happy and dsatisfied Festival goers at Blitherscrum this year... however:- Two children drowned whilst partaking in the trout tickling workshop. Three men had heart attacks from over indulgence with the high cholestrol food eating challenge. One of the wives died of shock. The marquee burnt down due to the 'Smoking' rule (ie everyone had to smoke in the marquee). Several people had their rear ends bitten by the sewer rats which hid round the bends of the temporary toilets and only came out for a nibble. Many people were injured whilst others were checking to see if the main hall really was only a stones throw away. Such was the demand for bodhrans that several were stolen..(another theory was that they were destroyed when the marquee burnt down..but how they got there from the other side of the river in time for the fire is anyones guess) Two people are still suffering from epizootic lymphangitis after stroking the cows which were wandering in the indoor camping site. Five others also have the disease after bathing in the cows milk. There were other things which marred last years festival but I can't remember them all can I? |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: Vic Smith Date: 16 Jul 13 - 01:59 PM Easier said than done! I have searched everywhere on the internet for air plectrums to no avail. |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: Georgiansilver Date: 16 Jul 13 - 01:43 PM I had a word with the judges Vic and they have assured me that you would have won had you used an imaginary plectrum instead of the nail on your thumb! That should set you right for next year! On the whole this years festival went well... in fact better than expected. However, the lady with the wooden leg who kept hitting it with a wooden spoon in time with the bodhran player has been told that next year she will be banned if she does so again.......... |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: Vic Smith Date: 16 Jul 13 - 12:53 PM Well, Blitherscrum is over for another year and, once again, I am left to ponder the results of the Air Guitar Competition. I have entered this competition every year since its inception and never once have I achieved a place in the top three - even in the inaugural year when there were only three entrants. I know that my performance is amongst the very best, so I am now considering whether it is the model of guitar that I pretend to play or the strings that imagine that I am using that are holding me back. Any advice would be gratefully received. |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival 2013. From: Georgiansilver Date: 26 May 13 - 04:08 AM Apparently James (6'4") and Rita (4'11") got married after meeting at the Festival last year. That's the long and the short of it!. They will be honeymooning in Outer Mongolia so will miss Friday and Saturday but will be at Sundays Grand Concert around the village pump. I phoned for a weather forecast for the area and have been assured there will definitely be some weather. 'Airport Contention's new CD has really taken off I hear and the song "Fly me to Blitherscrum" will feature at the Festival. |
