Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: GUEST,Dan McKinnon/ Nova Scotia Date: 03 Sep 01 - 01:08 PM G'Day, Although I am not a regular contributor I do occasionally check things out on the Mudcat and as I saw this thread I thought I'd say hello as I will be over in the UK on a small tour and will also be performing at Bromyard. So please feel free to introduce yourself. For more information you can find me at: http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/dan.mckinnon/main.html Cheers, Dan

Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: Puflet Date: 03 Sep 01 - 04:22 PM Hi Bromyard organisers! I haven't received my tickets or esoteric bits of paper entitling me to tickets yet. Even though I sent my request to you a while ago. Should I be worried? |
|
Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: Hawker Date: 03 Sep 01 - 06:23 PM Yes! All being well - and assuming KB isn't suddenly inundated with work, we shall be there - can't wait, see you all there!!! Lucy |

Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: Herga Kitty Date: 03 Sep 01 - 06:58 PM I'd love to go to Bromyard (haven't been for 9 years), but I've just done 4 festivals in 4 weeks and think I have to go back to the world of w**k for a while. At least I have the chance to see Dan McKinnon at Herga on the Monday after. Kitty |

Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: Charley Noble Date: 03 Sep 01 - 07:23 PM Have a wonderful time dancing and singing, and if you see Marcus of Marcus Music, tell him I am still waiting patiently for my two concertinas (3 years and counting).:-( |

Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: DG&D Dave Date: 04 Sep 01 - 06:33 AM I shall be hosting "Dove Ja Vu" sessions in the Hoppole. |

|
Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: Noreen Date: 06 Sep 01 - 10:34 AM Info please from those who know... are there fringe events to get involved in? Translation: I can't afford to pay for a weekend ticket as I've spent up my decade's festival allowance... :0)...is it still worth going? I'm getting withdrawal symptoms. |
|
Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: Snuffy Date: 06 Sep 01 - 06:38 PM Noreen, There are usually morris diplays in the town on Saturday and Sunday. Plus there's informal sessions/sings in most of the pubs all weekend. You can have quite a good weekend without ever going onto the Festival site. Wassail! V |
|
Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: alanww Date: 07 Sep 01 - 07:18 AM But, Noreen, you will need somewhere to sleep - I don't know of an off-festival site camping site. Perhaps someone else does ... But you may have a camper van of course. "Don't mind the wind nor the rolling sea ...!" Alan |
|
Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: Whippet Date: 07 Sep 01 - 07:24 AM Try asking about camping at the Rose and Lion where there is also a good session |
|
Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: Snuffy Date: 07 Sep 01 - 08:56 AM I'm surprised you go to the Rose & Lion, Whippet - it's usually full of us crap morris dancers. (But then so are all the other pubs, and the R&L has bostin' Wye Valley ales). Wassail! V |
|
Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: Noreen Date: 07 Sep 01 - 09:45 AM Thanks for the info, friends; I am considering my position. :0) Noreen The weary night never worries me... |
|
Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: GUEST,Guest - Whippet Date: 07 Sep 01 - 11:36 AM Oh bugger Snuffy you're right. Bloody bells all the time constantly interupting sing-a-rounds. Perhaps I'll take my elephant gun and cull a few teams. You are right about the excellent Wye Valley Ales though |

Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: alanww Date: 13 Sep 01 - 05:20 AM LIFT FOR ROD SHEARMAN'S SISTER Those attending Towersey FF will know that Rod Shearman's ashes were scattered along the road from the festival site to the Barn at the Three Horseshoes where he enjoyed singing. It was therefore a very emotional weekend and one I shall always remember. I know that many Mudcatters attended. His sister Greta Alexander was one of his relatives who attended and it was her first folk festival. She enjoyed it so much that she also plans to come to Bromyard FF. As she is not online, my reason for making this posting is to ask for a lift for her from Herne Hill in South East London where she lives. Alternatively, if that is not possible, she says that she can get a train to Worcester, arriving around the Friday lunchtime/early afternoon. (I would give her a lift from there myself but I will already be at Bromyard by mid morning). Please can someone help? Her telephone numbers are 020 7274 6638 (home) and 020 7277 1374 (work). Thanks! "Here's to the friends that I've yet to make ...!" |

Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: Cllr Date: 15 Sep 01 - 01:56 PM I had an important event to go to on the Saturday Night and I could not let certain people down. Now the event is canceled and I can go to Bromyard Hurrah! 1)Where is the best unaccompanied Sing Session 2)Whats the earliest we can put our tents up 3)Most importantly -Whats the beer like?. Cllr

Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: Whippet Date: 17 Sep 01 - 04:48 AM Don't know about unnacompanied but in my opinion The Rose and Lion has the best beer (Wye Valley)and has good sessions in the bar and in the barn where there is a bar. Contact Dick Dixon on 07831 890905 or from Fri 21st at the Festival Office on 01531 670593 about when you can put tents up from past year's I think from about midday. |

Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: Noreen Date: 17 Sep 01 - 07:06 AM Cllr- watch out for falling tent poles... |
|
Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: Whippet Date: 18 Sep 01 - 07:45 AM Thought i'd refresh this as the fest is at the end of this week. Whoopee |
|
Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: Cllr Date: 19 Sep 01 - 04:54 AM Norreen If I have to watch for falling tentpoles rather than the one's that you hit me with - does that mean your not coming? Cllr |
|
Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: Noreen Date: 19 Sep 01 - 08:11 AM Cllr, I'll be there... wasn't it Liz's falling tent pole I hit you with?! The poles in my tent are of the bendy variety, so they're not likely to fall on you, more likely to give a whiplash injury if you get in the way... :0) Looking forward to more singing, dancing and merriment, with friends met and unmet. Noreen My garden was planted well, |

Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: Cllr Date: 19 Sep 01 - 09:27 AM Noreen, I didn't know whose tent it was I was to Dazed to notice. Anyway the swelling has gone down now Cllr |

Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: Cllr Date: 24 Sep 01 - 05:58 AM So what did people think of the festival Cllr |
|
Subject: RE: Bromyard FF 2001 From: alanww Date: 24 Sep 01 - 09:17 AM Its always nice to meet up and sing with good friends. I enjoyed that most of all but I also enjoyed:- the morris dancing (particularly as it was the first time my son had danced with us for at least a year); the singing in the Hop Pole on Sat and Sun during the day, along with a local group "Compost Heap" (after the two tubas had been persuaded to leave!); a nice barbeque hosted by Derek and Mary Droscher (who run Banbury Folk Club); and the very late night (drunken!) singing in the food tent. "I thought I heard the old man say ...!" |

"I dreamed a dream the other night ...!" |
