Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: English Jon Date: 03 Aug 01 - 08:33 AM Not playing officially at Sidmouth (although if anyone hangs around long enough I'll probably burst forth with a couple of "everyone gets drowned" songs) - playing absolutely sodding everywhere at Broadstairs though. Still need confirmation of a gig in Gosport on the 11th. Look out for Jon Loomes, Whorticulture and SofiBacugo! Thanks for taking an interest though Deni! Cheers. Jon |

Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: Deni Date: 03 Aug 01 - 07:47 AM Are you playing, Jon? it seems to us on Mudcat that we were in at the start....and are watching you with interest...to see what happens... Deni |

Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: English Jon Date: 03 Aug 01 - 04:39 AM 2 things - I'm doing the Newsletter this year, so if you want I'll put in notices about Catter get-togethers etc. second, I'm off about 6 pm GMT from Cambridge - anyone need a lift? I can't give you a lift back though unless you are going to Broadstairs (possibly via Gosport) See you there! EJ (very excited) |

Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: Deni Date: 02 Aug 01 - 01:55 AM Hi Hawker, I will know you, if I can't recognise anyone else. The Middle Bar at the Anchor, perhaps Gervase or Tattie Bogle know our old mate Keith Beeby. (More news of him on the Hyde Folk Club's NEW site. http://beehive.thisissouthdevon.co.uk/hydefolk Seeing as he's not online, at least I can plug him! (He knows me as Den, from Mad Rush) He's got a superb album of his own songs out. (Hope it wasn't a secret Keith). For my benefit, could you say loudly every hour, 'Any mudcatters here?' Then we can see what everyone looks like before the sun goes in again. I'm off to find a snap at the picture gallery of all the aforementioned, persons. Love Deni the duck

Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: Gervase Date: 01 Aug 01 - 04:43 AM And nothing else? Should make it easy to spot you! I'll be wearing hair like a bog-brush and an expression like a stunned mullet, if previous years are anything to go by. |

Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: Hawker Date: 31 Jul 01 - 07:09 PM As a new member of the Cornwall Songwriters, I was asked to stand in for another member at The Cry Of Tin at Sidmouth on Saturday, unfortunately, my band had a prior booking and I had to hand my place over to our other new member, Ann Phillips, so good Luck, Ann, break a leg! I have to be there on Sunday evening as I am being presented with my NVQ Level 4 in 'Delivering Artform Development Programmes' certificate by Shirley Collins, the new Patron of Folk South West, at the Fortfield Hotel, before and after this event, me and my man will be hoping to join a singaround somewhere, Middle Bar sounds good..... look out for me, I'll be wearing a smile!

Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: Ralphie Date: 31 Jul 01 - 11:01 AM Good News Have just heard that the nice people of Sid Fest have given a pair of freebies to Nic Jones and his son Joe for the week. The first time that Nic has been to Sid for over 20 years. So, if you bump into him walking around, say hello, and make him welcome. He won't be performing, just having a holiday Well done Messrs Heap and Bearman. See you all down there next Tuesday Ralphie |

Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 30 Jul 01 - 11:40 PM Bugger. The bratling sitter is unable to function so we won't be there... boo hoo hooo... Have a good one, and Gervase - don't forget that spare bog roll in it's usual place!!! LTS |

Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: JudeL Date: 30 Jul 01 - 11:49 AM Roger: The right hand bar of the Anchor will have a musicians session lunchtime for your friend while you can go to the left where Anchor Middle Bar Singers gather to drink lots of Exmoor Gold and Fox. ............................ oh and to sing of course. Jude |

Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 30 Jul 01 - 07:50 AM The Swan used to have a good fringe session going, but it seems to have died away the last few years. It's conveniently situated also. |
|
Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: GeorgeH Date: 30 Jul 01 - 06:32 AM The best sessions (IMO) are in the Radway . . though others will disagre. Also, it can be well worth the treck out to "The Volunteer" (but we always seem to get there just as things are winding down . . ) Ralpie is supposed to be in the Radway on Wed. lunchtime. Lonnie Donnegan is the one place we're unlikely to be! I guess we'll try to get to a couple of our daughter's "concert" spots, plus the "Shooting Roots" showcase at the end of the week ('scuse the Proud Parent bit!) G. |

Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 29 Jul 01 - 05:10 PM Reminds me of the story of the magician's parrot on the Titanic.
If anybody feels like trying to set up a Mudcatters gathering, they could stick something in the Newsletter, or on the notice board next to the box office. |
|
Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 29 Jul 01 - 11:04 AM McGrath - the fact that I outsang the Wilsons (and have also done the same to Ian Bruce at the Middle Bar) has nothing to do with the fact that it was the last Saffron Walden.... that was politics, personal problems and a dispute over the viability of a change of dates. I'm trying to find a way of depositing child for a sleepover, whilst I try to find a place to doss...... |

Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: BanjoRay Date: 29 Jul 01 - 10:01 AM I'm going this year. I'll be spending most of my time either jamming Old Time on the promenade or ditto in the right hand bar at the Bedford Arms. I've bought a season ticket, so I'll have to go to a few things to try and make it worth it - Incredible String Band, Lonnie Donegan for starters. I'll miss the lst night, as I'll be off to the Sacrewell Farm Old Time camping week near Peterborough, which will be a LOT cheaper and at least as much fun. Cheers |
|
Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 29 Jul 01 - 07:48 AM , I managed to outsing the Wilsons at the last Saffron Walden festival......
Note that - the last... |

Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: Roger in Sheffield Date: 29 Jul 01 - 04:42 AM I am going for the first time So any suggestions where to go and where not to go would be very welcome My friend has got us tickets but I am not sure what that gets us in to? Anyway I hope to see some of you there Sam my friend Louise is bringing her Accordian any chance you could listen to her play it while I sneak off to the pub? Roger |

Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: JudeL Date: 13 Jul 01 - 01:26 PM Speak for yourself Gervase I intend to find time to luxuriate in that ultimate piece of decadence a bath! A weekend of roughing it is one thing but a week of primative (and smelly) campsite facilities is a bit much. This year we've decided not to bother even getting tickets as we use them so little anyway that it just aint worth it! (not at them prices). The few concerts we want to see we can pay on the door. The only downer is that rules out the LNE's but we rarely make it up there anyway. Jude |
|
Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: Gervase Date: 10 Jul 01 - 05:39 AM But John, at the end of the week, everyone stinks, so we don't notice it - not until we stand next to some non-folkie at the station and they slink off, quietly retching! |
|
Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 09 Jul 01 - 07:21 PM Don't forget your Mudcat T-shirts.
I should be in the Arts Centre bar sometime most days. And the Rugby Club bar some evenings. |

Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: vectis Date: 09 Jul 01 - 07:13 PM See ya there Jon. I can be spotted modelling a collection of beer towels instead of a jacket. |
|
Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: English Jon Date: 09 Jul 01 - 12:32 PM Vectis, I'm mid 20's, a bit overweight and have a shaved head. I'll probably have a slack handfull of instruments kicking around, and keep bursting into song at inopportune moments. And by the end of a fortnight of camping, I will probably stink to high heaven and frighten old ladies. EJ |
|
Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: Louisa Date: 09 Jul 01 - 12:25 PM Yep, I will be there, stewarding, and playing my fiddle around the place as per usual. Will probably be in New Tavern, Bedford and Anchor quite a bit. Camping at the main site. See some of you in the Mexican tent for a few tunes and a plate of quesadillas I hope. I usually steward as a Mobile Information Person (if you've been before, one of those bored-looking and distinctly stationary people standing next to an 'A' board trying to flog programmes or dispense information) but thank goodness I'm doing something different this year. However I would just like to say please be nice to the Mobile Information People! Go and talk to them as it can get very lonely standing around on your own. see you there Louisa |

Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: Angie Date: 09 Jul 01 - 10:52 AM i'll hopefull get down on wed.and/or thurs. (i only live a few miles away)the demon work demands most of my precious drinking time though.as a new member, it would be great to see some (if not all)of you at sidmouth, so if you are approached by a small dark haired scottish female chances are it'll be me. |

Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: GUEST,vectis at work Date: 09 Jul 01 - 08:54 AM How will I recognise you Jon. I'll be at Broadstairs all week with Travelling Folk? mary |
|
Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: GeorgeH Date: 09 Jul 01 - 08:27 AM OK, I'll know where to find you, EJ . . . G. |
|
Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: English Jon Date: 09 Jul 01 - 07:50 AM Yep. She did. Then again, so did me and beeke and the disreputable Barber. EJ (at Sidmouth, producing the daily news this year, apparently.) |

Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: Eric the Viking Date: 03 Jul 01 - 03:33 PM I'm not going, but here's a few lines to go with your ditties-should be something else!
If you're singing in the rain I used to go many years ago, it was always geat fun. Now a days, I can't get to the things I'd like to and as we'll be in Holland cycling, it's a bit far to go Cheers Eric |

Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: English Jon Date: 06 Jun 01 - 08:18 AM Possibly.. Have volunteered to steward. Waiting to hear back from Alan Bearman. Got to shoot off to Broadstairs on the 10th though. serious gig schedule. Maybe see some of you there. EJ |
|
Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: vectis Date: 05 Jun 01 - 04:03 PM I'll be there for the first part of the week, before I trot accross to Broadstairs. I'll be in the Bedford Arms when I'm not in the middle bar. Just watch out for the singing beertowels!!! |

Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: GUEST,jayohjo in Russia Date: 05 Jun 01 - 09:44 AM Heehee, all sorts of people turn up here that I never realised were here...if you see what I mean... As for me I'll be at Sidmouth too, stewarding if all goes to plan, and in the Middle Bar again quite possibly - but guaranteed to be trying to see Martin and Norma perform, bound to be amazing - in my opinion anyhow! ;) Jayohjo who'll be back from Russia specifically to be in time for Sidmouth hurray!

Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: GUEST,alanww Date: 04 Jun 01 - 07:47 PM Hi Gervase Yes, the beer was a bit iffy at Chippenham (and expensive at the Angel!) - that is after the first seven pints or so! Happily my voice has been ok since then (I had to drive from Chippenham so my intake was limited!) So I could sing "Ale ,Ale, Glorious Ale", "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" and others tonight at a morris do - and thought of Sidmouth! "In South Australia I was born ... !" Wassail! Alan PS Please forgive us men Judy, we are only human! |
|
Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: JudeL Date: 01 Jun 01 - 06:34 AM Excuses, excuses, it's more ale you need not less! Jude |
|
Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: Gervase Date: 01 Jun 01 - 05:54 AM Blimey, Allan; I'm impressed you can remember so many names! My brain's befuddled enough at the best of times, so remembring my own is achievement enough. On another tack, I don't know if it was something in the ale at Chippenham, but my throat's been rougher than a badger's arse all week - so much so that I massacred two songs at Maidenhead last night and didn't do much better at Sharp's on Tuesday. Maybe it was trying to keep up with the Wilsons wot done it! |

Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: alanww Date: 01 Jun 01 - 04:47 AM And not forgetting the delectable Judy ... ! A big hug and XXXs to you. "Oh, I like to rise when the sun she rises ... !" Alan PS Damn - I knew I would get into trouble! How ever could I have missed out Judy??!! So ... and not forgetting Alan White, Tony Day, Rosie, Rene, Diane and Gervase's friend Garrett(?) ... Well that's just about my best shot but I know that there will still dozens of others I have inadverently omitted! Sorry!! |

I don't know all our assignments yet but I do know we'll singing in the BBC marquee on Monday and in the Manor Pavillion on Wednesday, both at 2000.

Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: alanww Date: 31 May 01 - 12:35 PM Hi All I shall certainly be there for the whole week and, for the first time, I'm not buying a ticket - preferring the fringe events! That means I can afford to stay in a hotel! I look froward to seeing (among others I have forgotten - sorry!) Gervase, Chris and Gwynneth (with Oliver), Cliff (Wessex MM), Sid & Pam & Lin, Mike, Steve, Keith Beeby & Jenny, Mournful Bob (will he win the Gloom and Despondancy competition again?), Richard (When snow transforms ...), Rosie, Alison, Ann (with more newly composed songs?), Robin, Dave Earle & Elizabeth, Andy, Claire etc etc! But not Derek & Mary Droscher this year I gather. "Swing low sweet Chariot ... !" Alan |
|
Subject: RE: Catters going to Sidmouth? From: Gervase Date: 15 Apr 01 - 06:26 AM Actually, if anyone's going to Sidmouth and has nowhere to stay, a couple of average-sized MBS teeshirts and a pole can provide a tent ample enough for a family of six! |
