Moot point How about the English Channel Jim I didn't wish to make this an issue, but it became one recently in the Irish Press It remains to be seen if the UK K survives into the near future Jim |

Subject: RE: festivals with Unaccompanied singing From: GUEST,jim bainbridge Date: 31 Jan 20 - 08:08 AM Yes Modette you are quite correct- I was using shorthand- wrong maybe but what's the alternative? NORTHERN IRELAND is anathema to republicans - maybe the SIX COUNTIES might be OK? I am well aware of the three counties in question- I lived for several years near Dowra in Cavan & played music in the Melrose pub there a few times. I'd certainly support your recommendation of the Inishowen weekend in Ballyliffin in March for unaccompanied singing, having been a guest singer/musician there a few years ago. However there is a BIG BUT- INISHOWEN is not in the UK!! |

Subject: RE: festivals with Unaccompanied singing From: GUEST,Modette Date: 31 Jan 20 - 07:24 AM Insert 'county' after 'last-named'. |

Subject: RE: festivals with Unaccompanied singing From: GUEST,Modette Date: 31 Jan 20 - 07:23 AM Three counties in the province of Ulster are not in Northern Ireland (Cavan, Monaghan and my own Donegal)! I do despair when people use the province's name erroneously. The last-named, of course, hosts the wonderful Inishowen song festival. |

Subject: RE: festivals with Unaccompanied singing From: GUEST,jim bainbridge Date: 31 Jan 20 - 05:12 AM The original question has been ignored. Unaccompanied singing is probably present at many of the above, but some are much better but as an infrequent festivalgoer I'll leave it to others to advise on that. Also, Ireland is not in the UK (except for Ulster) & the question was about the UK not Ireland. Am sure the originator of the thread is aware of the differing meanings of Britain, GB, UK, England etc & if not, I'd advise him/her to brush up on the sensibilities here! I agree, Jim C, the BRITISH ISLES is not an acceptable term as they aren't all British. Mind you, if that's so, surely the IRISH SEA should also be an unacceptable name? |

Subject: RE: festivals with Unaccompanied singing From: John MacKenzie Date: 31 Jan 20 - 05:11 AM Portsoy in the North East of Scotland, is a mainly traditional festival, most sessions are unaccompanied, and it's a nice wee town, by the sea, pretty harbour and all that sort of holiday thing. (It's 5th/7th June this year. https://salmonbothy.org/event/11th-haal-music-festival-2020/ |

Subject: RE: festivals with Unaccompanied singing From: Mr Red Date: 31 Jan 20 - 03:24 AM Wareham Wail Sept 4-6 Now called the Wail, cluette as to the unaccompanied genre. Pennymoor Song & Ale June - it can sell out so be quick. Stewarding unlikely. see See my festival list. with links Chippenham is almost in June - the stewarding has contacted me already so contact them now. Upton will be 4 days though the Bank Holiday Monday isn't (a BH). Towersey is a big festival and has moved, they do work stewards pretty hard, but as a steward you do get to arrive early. I am sure we will bump into each other somewhere, you will spot me. |
