Subject: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: Graham Pirt Date: 05 Dec 99 - 08:50 AM Mudcatters Sam Pirt and Ian Stephenson with Joey Oliver and Sophie and Emily Ball in the band "422" last night (Saturday 4 December) won the BBC Young Folk Award. In a concert in Broadcasting House in London they competed against another five performers/bands who had won their way through to the final. The standard was absolutely exceptional and any of the performers could have won. "422" will now appear at Cambridge Folk Festival and take part in an international tour organised by the British Council. Well done all of them. The concert will be broadcast on The Folk Programme on BBC Radio 2 on Wednesday 8 December between 20.00 and 21.00 GMT - Listen in? |

Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: JedMarum Date: 05 Dec 99 - 10:11 AM Who will broadcast this show in the US? Can Max get hooked up, and rebroadcast over Mudcat? I see tha BBC news programs are frequently reboradcast around the world - perhaps this show could be done, as well. |

Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: bigJ Date: 05 Dec 99 - 10:32 AM You can get BBC Radio 2 in Real Audio of course, but you'd have to make allowance for the time difference. |

Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: sophocleese Date: 05 Dec 99 - 10:39 AM Congratulations! Brilliant! Way to go and all that. Now I have to do my part and figure out a way to hear you guys. |

Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: Jeri Date: 05 Dec 99 - 10:47 AM Congratulations!!! I hope the international tour includes the US! BBC 2 does broadcast live on-line. They say they don't have their whole program available, but I'm listening right now. I really hope they decide to broadcast the show live. There's a link on the BBC Radio 2 Home Page 20:00 (8:00PM) = 15:00 (3:00PM) Mudcat Time (Eastern Standard) |

Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: selby Date: 05 Dec 99 - 12:11 PM It is very nice to know that young muscians that you play with in local sessions have done very well. But lets think about the ones that didn't win the award, who are all I am quite sure talented but on the day did not catch the judges ear. The future of folk music in the British Isles would appear to be healthy. Congratulations to ALL who took part.Who knows what next year will bring. Keith |

Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: Ian Stephenson Date: 06 Dec 99 - 07:34 AM Thanks people! I'm trying desperately hard to concentrate at college right now, and its really difficult. Its time to get moving, get gigs, and use this opportunity. I've posted a thread about which festivals "422" should visit in the uk. Thankyou all again, Ian |

Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: Sam Pirt Date: 06 Dec 99 - 01:45 PM Catters what can I say, your international support is great. Its nice to have such strong support from overseas. I to have been trying to concentrate on a bit of university work I still have to do but failing!! For all those UK catters (& little Dorrit) I'm of to Cottingham folk club on the 8th of December after the broardcast (broardcast is 8pm till 9pm English time) so it would be good to catch some of you there. I'm still having trouble getting used to the idea of it all at the moment but I've had a great time right through the semi-finals, finals and am looking forward to what the future will bring. The sessions were cool as well!!!! See ya soon and thanks Sam |

Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: roopoo Date: 07 Dec 99 - 02:26 AM Well done the lot of you! We knew you could do it! I should have phoned to find out, but my nerves let me down, and I didn't like to on Saturday night as I didn't know what time it would finish. I hope they'll put you on the Whitby programme. One of the smaller festivals is Stainsby, not far from Chesterfield. It's years since I've been, but it was a very cosy and informal affair. Of course there is another closer to home... Congrats. Do we get to see you this week? mouldy |

Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: roopoo Date: 07 Dec 99 - 02:27 AM Whoops! So excited I put 2 in one! mouldy |

Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: Margaret\W Date: 07 Dec 99 - 12:04 PM Congratulations! Genetically speaking it has to be said, Sam and Joey, that you chose your fathers remarkably well!! Well done again Margaret and Andy Watchorn |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: Bert Date: 07 Dec 99 - 04:41 PM Well done 'yer boogas'. Way to go! you deserved it. Liam's Brother, What's this Muscat Radio? That somewhere out near Oman? |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: MMario Date: 07 Dec 99 - 04:53 PM when the tour schedule is known, it better get posted!!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: lamarca Date: 07 Dec 99 - 04:59 PM Congratulations to both of you, and the rest of your group. Hope your music is always a joy to you as well as an accomplishment! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: Graham Pirt Date: 08 Dec 99 - 03:31 AM Don't forget to listen to Mike Harding's Folk Programme on BBC Radio 2 Wed at 20:00 (8PM) GMT / 15:00 (3PM) Eastern Standard / 12 noon Thursday in Sydney. For a great link look back to Jeri's earlier in this thread |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: Jeri Date: 08 Dec 99 - 02:59 PM They don't seem to be broadcasting in RealAudio at the moment. What a let-down...*sigh* |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: Jon Freeman Date: 08 Dec 99 - 04:07 PM Wow, some playing!!! As Graham said, the standard all round was exceptional but I did feel that there was one clear winner... Only trouble is, I had talked about the possibility of getting to the JUG with Bill recently, I would be scared stiff of going there now if that is the standard.... Jon (who is nothing like in that sort of league) |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: Melbert Date: 08 Dec 99 - 04:48 PM I'm not usually given to using "americanisms" ....... but AWESOME!" |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: Jon Freeman Date: 08 Dec 99 - 05:49 PM Just another thought, every group was excellent... isn't to great to know that we have so much young talent around? Do any of you want to move to North Wales? - we could use some more round here at the moment. Jon |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: Dave Swan Date: 08 Dec 99 - 06:49 PM Well done, bravo, loud huzzahs from a packed house!!! Sam, PJ's reel is getting played to great acclaim on this side of the pond, now we can say the composer is famous. Congrats. Dave & Pam |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: roopoo Date: 08 Dec 99 - 07:47 PM Jon, I sat next to Ian in the Jug tonight, fresh from listening to the concert, and it was just a normal session with everybody just jammin'. Ian entered the pub to a big cheer and then just unpacked his guitar and settled in. (He did get a free drink from the landlord for winning). I am no great shakes as a musician, and I can cope. We are of all standards. You would be most welcome. mouldy |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: Graham Pirt Date: 08 Dec 99 - 08:13 PM Sam's having trouble getting on line. We went to the Cottingham Folk Club after the broadcast - big cheer for Sam as well. They all deserve it - not just for the talent but for being nice, ordinary people as well, who just love the music. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: Jon Freeman Date: 08 Dec 99 - 11:13 PM Cheers Mouldy, I was saying it to indicate how impressed I was rather than literaly fearing the session - I have met plenty of musicians far better than me who have been welcoming and encouraging towards me and I will get to the JUG one day - I'll look forward to meeting you there as well... Jon |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: roopoo Date: 09 Dec 99 - 03:41 AM Jon, I had a sneaky suspician that was the case! Graham, I doubt he'll forget, but Ian has something in his guitar case for Sam when he next sees him. mouldy |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: Roger the skiffler Date: 09 Dec 99 - 04:00 AM I don't often listen to the programme these days but tuned in especially last night. Well done, lads (& lass), the whole programme was one of the best I've heard (but then what does an old jazzer like me know about real folk?!). RtS |
