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.

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!

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.

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!

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'.

John, you are most welcome, however full you stuff the car. Totally leaving aside all the session psycho-analysis of late, it is only the presence of visitors that gets us off our arse to play properly, so we enjoy new blood. Despite my best efforts, there are only a couple of Cats there, as most of the surrounding area are still struggling with the concept of the bicycle, and think Bill Gates is off Emmerdale.

Bring that whistle, though, and give us a blast. And let me know which Tuesday, so I can go on a three line whip to make sure we field a reasonable side.

Captain, the coordinates for Ickle Dorrit are showing two miles to the north of her apparent genetic profile. It appears these primitive life forms have amphibious capabilities.

Either that, Spock, or............. no, it's too fantastic to concieve............... the natives have constructed a bridgehead ........... to keep themselves ....apart! They communicate by ..... vibrating crude musical instruments, interspersed by barking noises ..... advertising their availability to mate. This is ..... fascinating. See how small groups of these .......musical communicators move in each others communities..... armed only with blunt instruments, whilst the braves stay steadfastly apart, fearing their gene pool will be invaded by alien intelligence........... We are witnessing the beginnings of civilisation. What do you think, Bones?

It is well known Skipjack old bean, that I have had klingons on my starboard bow for years. I like to think of myself more as a mutation of some higher extra terrestrial lifeform, than having evolved from the primeordeal sump like the rest of humanity. Leastways, that's my excuse .Darwin? what a pillock! and less of the blunt instruments- I have sharpened my Bodhran into a fine point and can be seen using it to launch attacks on unsuspecting autoharpists. (It's a masterplan -I won't go into details)

Part of the world domination plan, Ickle? Thanks for the warning about the autoharps - I'll keep mine hidden!

Ickle Dorrit says kazoos get her goat.Not my experience at all. When I play mine (or sing for that matter), goats tend to take to the high ground!

When you hear me play the fiddle the words boot and off the humberbridge come into mind unbidden! We play here and there not realy giging at the moment will let you know when and where - we've been going for a number of years, even made a cd once - you wouldn't want to hear it though. It was pre Nik Nak and the production was poo.
