Next year is 25 year birthday of the bandstand. I wonder how appropriate it would be to have a 3 day festival leading up to it?

It seemed to me it was much better this year.

I really enjoyed myself so a big thank you to the organisers. Well done.

And to think Bob, there would be all those extra words for your songs if only you had the celtic lingoes.
Enjoy your songwriting course this weekend. Try to catch the Wilsons tonight with Sting on Jules Holland. Fationistas of the folk world - and quite good at singing too.

Surely the adjective that refers to Gaul is 'Gaulish'

It's the adjective that refers to Gaul (although usually with a capital "G", I assume). It may be used, in modern parlance, to refer to France or things French.

What's 'gallic' ?

ceilidh = Scottish
ceili    = Irish

that's it simply- would suggest English dances be called something else and avoid spelling problems-barn dance or does that imply check shirts and spurs?- also suggest abolition of the much-abused term- 'craic'!!! enjoy the dance in Deal anyway.
My first visits to Scottish ceilidhs in the 60s were a surprise in that there was little if any dancing- I'm not a Gaelic speaker, and was told that the word actually means 'gathering' so there doesn't HAVE to be any dancing at all!

Who's there and where and when?

I'll be camped from the Friday until the Sunday and generally haunting the sessions...

I infer that Bishop Gundulf will be there.

I copied what I thought I read from the programme. Still not 100% clear on my print out.
We are running a barn dance on the Friday ( but in a school hall - not a barn). The gallic version implies lots of variety - a bit more like a session. We shall only be doing lots of called dances and a raffle to raise money for the girls doing ' world challenge'. (A bit like VSO.)
I think it has become the fashion to mis name barn dances.

'Ceildith'?

Subject: RE: Deal 2013
From: GUEST,FloraG
Date: 14 Sep 13 - 05:33 AM

I can read it now. I copied it to word and printed it sideways on.
It looks a bit short of participatory things to do on the Saturday and Sunday evening. Going to a Ceildith would be a bit too much like a busmans holiday as were doing one on the Friday evening.
Any suggestions?
FloraG.

Thanks. Bigger would be good. I've not used face book. Still a bit of a mystery how to send messages.
I tried a copy and zoom - but still not very clear on the print.
We are booked elsewhere on the friday night so we are looking for the saturday and sunday programme in particular. Deal has always been one of my favourite late season events. I don't like to think how many years ago it was that I organised with Pete May to get the morris side down.
On Countryfile a local Deal Photographer found water rats and kingfishers near where we camp. Sighting would be an added bonus.

The website appears to have been taken down so either it has been cancelled or the webmaster has screwed up.
