Subject: New member from Hull From: bill\sables Date: 09 Jul 01 - 07:32 PM It seems Hull ,UK is becoming the mudcat mecca, Another new member from Hull has just joined. Her name is Nik Nak and she is a fine fiddler. She has also started attending the Jug sessions. Would you give her a warm welcome. Cheers Bill |
Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: bobby's girl Date: 09 Jul 01 - 07:44 PM Welcome Nik Nak! Although I live in Dorset now I could be counted as yet another from the Hull multitude, as I was born and brought up there until I left in 1975 - it's changed a bit since then though! |
Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: Jon Freeman Date: 09 Jul 01 - 07:49 PM Welcome Nik Nak. BTW, I'm working hard to try to persuade my mum to transport me (not really that bad - she loves the music) to a session in the Jug - a bit further than our usual range but I still think quite "do-able" as a one off. May get to meet you all. Jon |
Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: Mrs.Duck Date: 09 Jul 01 - 07:51 PM Welcomr Nicky glad you finally managed to get signed up. And yes Jon you must come up then me and your Mum can do the Spinning wheeel song!! |

Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: Abuwood Date: 10 Jul 01 - 04:59 AM "It's never DULL in HULL" My claim to fame there is that when I was young I knew a lovely rugby player and now they've named a bypass after him! |
Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 10 Jul 01 - 05:03 AM Was he called A63 ? :-) |
Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: Les from Hull Date: 10 Jul 01 - 05:35 AM Welcome Nik Nak! We have a regular session in Hull on Fridays at the Kingston in Cumberland Street (it's not that easy to find, if you want them you can PM me for directions) starting about 9pm. It's an everything goes sessions, tunes from anywhere but mainly Irish and English, songs with and without accompaniment, monologues, poetry, jokes. And to you other poor fools out there, all bow down and recognise Hull as the centre of the universe! Or we'll launch unremitting waves of folk music in your direction. Buwahahaha! Les |
Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: Skipjack K8 Date: 10 Jul 01 - 06:01 AM That'll be Clive. He got his own way in the end.

Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: Julie B Date: 10 Jul 01 - 08:42 AM Off topic slightly, but any regular singaround sessions in Hull on a Saturday/Sunday? (I may be in the area later this month). |
Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 10 Jul 01 - 09:38 AM Julie- Sunday=Tap and Spile, Spring Bank (near Iceland fraozen food) starts about 8pm |
Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: Les from Hull Date: 10 Jul 01 - 11:25 AM Julie - One of the best singarounds in the area is in Beverley on the first Sunday of the month. It's at Nellie's (White Horse Inn, Hengate, Beverley) starts about 2pm and finishes much, much later. Les |
Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: John J Date: 10 Jul 01 - 12:24 PM Ey up Nik Nak, and welcome to the Mudcat. Hope to see you the next time the Ducks & Bill organise another drinking, I mean another music and singing weekend down the Jug. John (Altrincham, 8m S of Manchester. Nowhere near Tottington:-) |
Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: Eric the Viking Date: 10 Jul 01 - 01:08 PM Hi Nikki |
Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: jeffp Date: 10 Jul 01 - 01:17 PM Welcome Nik Nak. It appears that Hull is challenging Silver Spring as the greatest concentration of Mudcatters. jeffp |
Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: JeZeBeL Date: 10 Jul 01 - 01:18 PM Hey Nikki!! Emma here, sorry JeZeBeL. I knew when I saw this thread it'd be about you...and that you'd probably be called Nik Nak...how scary is that!! |
Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 10 Jul 01 - 01:38 PM Ickle Dorrit-Do you and Les need any help with World domination? Im not very good at spelling, so you can do any writing, but you can borrow my toolkit. Ps. Im busy on Thursdays. :-) |
Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: Les from Hull Date: 10 Jul 01 - 01:40 PM Jeffp - I imagine that Silver Spring is smaller than Hull, so there's probably no challenge on the concentration. Perhaps I should put it to our City Fathers that we should be sister cities - if you don't mind having Rotterdam, Freetown (Sierra Leone), Szczecin, Niigata, Reykavik and Raleigh (USA). Perhaps, there's a thread in the making - which 'catters live in other 'catters sister cities (or twin towns)? Actually a lot of the people posting here have connections with Hull but have sensibly moved away, some are 'foreigners' who have moved here only recently (like in the last 30 years) and some only come here temporarily to use our fine educational establishments. It takes a lot to be a proper 'Hull Kid'. Les |
Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: Jellybeam Date: 10 Jul 01 - 01:49 PM Hi nik nak,WELCOME from another Jug melodian friendly fiddler. Cheers Geraldine. |

Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: Arnie Date: 10 Jul 01 - 03:04 PM Not from Hull but still in the same county - I'm from Halifax but there is a link....remember the Thieves' Litany?? Our gibbet is no more but there are a few unused blades, still greased and shiny, residing in the museum - maybe the council knows something we don't!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: GUEST,Liz Date: 10 Jul 01 - 03:06 PM Clive Sullivan. Lovely man. |
Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: Mrs.Duck Date: 10 Jul 01 - 05:43 PM I lived in Hull once - well twice really 'cos I had a year off teaching in France. Did a bit of dominating while I was there but gave up due to lack of support and moved to Greater Manchester instead. Back in Yorkshire now though - gosh haven't I lead an exciting life!!?? |
Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: Linda Kelly Date: 10 Jul 01 - 06:12 PM I think we could use you John, and you could still have your Thursday's off. Do you want to be a footsoldier or one of the commanding officers ? (We have to let Les be Sunray Major or he goes off in a huff) |
Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 10 Jul 01 - 06:22 PM Im not sure really, I dont have to wear a uniform do I? :-) |
Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: Linda Kelly Date: 10 Jul 01 - 06:31 PM Er -no,we only have one and Maggie likes Les to wear that! |
Subject: RE: BS: New member from Hull From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 10 Jul 01 - 08:12 PM Maybe we could invade Beverley, no best make it Cottingham ,its smaller. :-) |
