Please pass MCFat's message along; word of mouth is surprisingly effective, and the first priority now that things are shaping up so well is to get the news to as many people as possible, before they make other arrangements for that W/E. I think the flyers will be ready soon.

At the moment as I understand it. Sam Pirt has agreed to do a workshop free but I'm sure others may come on board. I think workshops can be usefull for making the morning more bearable before the pub opens !!! Maybe we can organise some other morning activities like cricket !!!, naked mud wrestling, clay bodrhan shooting or perhaps Wawne Brewery will allow brewery trips !!

I can't think of any real contribution I can make -certainly not if Gary & Bron & the 'Scout-y lot' can be persuaded to man the 'Campsite'... they know the drill as well as I do, though if they can't do it, it has to be manned by someones - Campsites attract kids & other curious locals.

greg, thanks to a happy concatenation of events you can come after all... (prophesied by Nostradamus, of course!- "In the year when the long-lived Queen of the bows and the lion dies, and the five wanderers meet in line, then the red rose shall briefly outshine the white and the mountains be swallowed by the sea while great music is made by the people )

As interpreted by neo-structuralist scholars of the University of Port Sunlight this means that after the death of Elizabeth the Queen Mother (born Bowes-Lyon) and following the planetary alignment, Lancaster will dominate York while the Pennines (thanks to the efforts of a team of Dutch tunnellers) are temporarily moved east into the North Sea for the duration of the People's Voice Folk Festival. However you should be aware that a 12th century byelaw still permits the killing by longbow and arrow of any Welch, Southron, or infidel of Cheshire on the third Sunday of the month.

Following the meeting last night, we have now taken delivery of 10,000 flyers (designed by Les from Hull). Anyone who feels that they could distribute some around clubs, festivals etc should pick them up from Hodgson's pub in Beverley(if you are local) or I will mail them if you send me your address and an indication of how many you want.

We are now working in co-operation with the Barge Preservation Society to incorporate a shanty event around the Beverley Beck and the East riding Council have given us some money towards printing advertising etc.

The next meeting will be at County Hall in Beverley on Thursday 25th April at 7pm when the cheque will be presented officially so that we can get a photo and story in the local paper.

See the website for regular updates as acts are booked into the venues - so far we have Banoffi on Saturday night and Dog House Skiffle Group on Sunday together with workshops from Sam Pirt(accordion), John Harrison(fiddle) and Gifford Rolfe(songwriting)and a folkclub run by Cottingham Live on Saturday afternoon. However, this is just the beginning and another 11 pubs have yet to fix up who is playing at their venue and when.

I did suggest to Chris in an email early on that they could put a redirect on the official website but have had no response to that. Since I don't know Chris, perhaps someone that does could suggest it again.

I'm sure that Rollo would do something along those lines. At the moment I'm concentrating on getting the acts booked into the pubs and it would be great if others would run with the workshop arranging - what types, who to run them, where to run and at what times on what days.

I'm going to distribute a few posters locally in Liverpool and Wirral, but please don't blame me if a vanload of scousers turns up singing sea shanties.

I found this discussion after hearing from someone on the barge project that there was a festival happening after all this year. After reading all the information here, I e-mailed the "official" festival web site, asking if they would put a redirect on their site, as I am sure there are many other regular visitors to the Folk Festival who would like to know that there was something happening this year. I got a very terse response from someone called Helen who said "The alternative festival is nothing to do with us". I have written back saying that I appreciate that its nothing to do with them, but that a link from their home page might be nice as the PVFF people are doing them a favour by keeping the weekend warm for them. I await a response!

In the meantime, may I suggest someone does a web search for sites advertising BERFF and e-mail them with details of PVFF. I've done this with a few, but every search engine I use comes up with a different list. So far I've had a few encouraging responses, so (most) people are happy to help.

At that meeting we are hoping that quite a few licensees will come and I propose that we discuss their bookings and anything else that they need to know at the beginning so that they can get back to running their pubs and we can then talk through the more folky stuff.

Actually, I only have one year's photos, which I did for myself. The others all belong to Beverley Folk Festival and are with Chris Wade (as are Richard's). Also they are mostly official events with performers on stage and not really appropriate for the Peoples Voice. I'll print one or two dance ones up to A4 and laminate them.

Just thought I'd refresh. The word has got out on the streets in the People's Republic of South Yorkshire

Howdy everyone. Been meaning to look at this for ages. Word does indeed seem to be spreading. Do we have an official opinion from Chris Wade yet?

With regard to photographs, I have quite a good collection of photies taken in previous years of long sunny saturday afternoons at my session in Nellies beer garden....showing large audiences and numerous musicians in varying states of disrepair. Somebody let me know if you want to borrow them?

I have not, as yet, had a chance to get involved properly with PVFF, however I am available if I can contribute in any way. Perhaps the Nellies sessions? Also I'm sure Me n Dave the fiddle would be open for a gig if you have an empty slot. Let me know when the next meeting is, please? Cheers. [e-mail]

Pete - if you can lend me some photos at the next Nellies do I'll enlarge them for the Tourist Office window display.

Roger - Nikki (Niknak) has asked if we could include a 'fiddle club' on the programme list (possibly an afternoon 3-5pm. The idea is for fiddle players to get together and share tunes, techniques etc. We should be able to scape up enough fiddle players!

Also for the programme - a 'Poems and Pints' session for poets, monologists to get together.

Hi Pete,Les and everyone.

Ray Padgett has now officially agreed to run the Sun singaround on Saturday but we need someone(s) for Sunday - any suggestions or volunteers?

The meeting on Thursday will include quite a few licensees and I hope that we will make quite a bit of progress on what is happening where. I think that we need to get the programme pretty complete during the next couple of weeks so that Les can get the programme to the printers in order for it to be available by the end of May.

Roger, I don't think the running of the Sunday sing-a-round will be a problem. I can do it if you want but there should be Les, Maggie and others around too. from past year's experiences the Sunday sesh usually is the 'cracker'

For those interested in real ale - the new Landlord at the Sun is going to put on a beer festival during the folk weekend(there was one planned by the old regime)even though he hasn't done one before. He is taking advice from the local CAMRA branch is open to suggestions for beers to be included.

I've also made an approach to the guy who organises historical walks around Beverley to see if he would like to offer one on, say, Sunday morning - some people might appreciate a quiet stroll as a start to the day and T think that it would fit in with the general ethos of folk music.

Sounds a bit like 'Jogging with Jesus' Roger !! A few years ago the Luton Folk Festival sold limited editions of a bottled Festival Ale perhaps Wawne Brewery might do that too...

Well, he does offer a pub walks of Beverley if that's more to your taste Jim.

Wawne Brewery is already producing a festival ale but I don't think that Mike is up to bottling yet.

Jim -nobody reads the Yorkshire Post. I suggest that we make up some salacious gossip in order to hit the Sun and Daily Star readership -i.e Morris dancing vicar stole my wife (ate my hamster) that type of thing. Seriously though -are we able to get any radio spots on Radio Humberside or Viking FM?

Au contraire Madame, It was in fact the landlord of my local who read about the cancellation of BERFF in the said journal. It's just I know there is a folk column once per week. Perhaps we could encourage the proletariat to riot in the streets of Beverley saying 'Le Pen is not welcome at the People's Voice'
