Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: GUEST Date: 25 May 02 - 04:49 AM What do the organisers of the "proper festival" think to all this & are they including you in the "official" festival next year? |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: GUEST,Sir Roger at Work Date: 24 May 02 - 08:40 AM The latest is that Beverley Town Council are paying for the ceilidh band on the Saturday night. A real community feeling is developing here! R |

Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: bill\sables Date: 24 May 02 - 05:18 AM A mudcat gathering would be filled to capacity I would think, there seems to be quite a few of us there and I can also sell a few tee shirts and patches. Bill |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: Les from Hull Date: 23 May 02 - 02:56 PM Bill - I'm unfortunately elsewhere this weekend, but I'm sure that others will see this and bring stuff across. I've also mentioned on the Yorkshire Gathering thread to see if 'catters want an official mudgathering at Beverley - I'm sure that we can find a venue and put it in the programme. |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: Mr Happy Date: 23 May 02 - 06:06 AM bill i've still got some flyers left that sir roger de beverley sent me & i'll bring them to george 'n dragon |

Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: GUEST,MC Fat Date: 22 May 02 - 04:49 AM Les/Rog, I've got unlimited use of a photocopier which I can put to the use of the revolution and is at your disposal if you can bring any documents this weekend |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: Les from Hull Date: 21 May 02 - 02:59 PM Roger - the draft programme is in the post, you should have it for the next meeting. There's also a draft A4 day poster, and I'll be working on some'front window of pub' posters saying People's Voice friendly and what they've got on (when the programme is more or less finished). That will be after the print deadline as I can print these myself. |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: Mr Happy Date: 21 May 02 - 12:14 PM and again |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: GUEST,Sir Roger at work Date: 21 May 02 - 11:09 AM I can bring some posters. Les is sending me the draft of the programme and I hope to have it by then so I'll bring it along for you to look at. R |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: GUEST,MC Fat Date: 21 May 02 - 08:10 AM I'll see what I can do but I'm meeting my sprog (who's loafing at 'ull Uni) and seeing as he's 19 on the 28th, I suppose I'll have to spend some time with him as he'll want to get into my ribs and relieve me of large amounts of cash. Rog/Les can you bring any provisional programmes/posters etc. ? |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: GUEST,Sir Roger at work Date: 21 May 02 - 07:38 AM No, Jim It is the right week for my Sunday afternoon sesh in the Sun - we finish at 7pm ish and you start about 8.30. Rog |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: GUEST,MC Fat Date: 21 May 02 - 06:37 AM Just thought I remind any of the 'ull lot that I'm on at the Sun Inn, Beverley on Sunday 26th. Is that the right week for the Sunday afternoon Nellies sesh ? can anyone enlighten ? Jim |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: oombanjo Date: 20 May 02 - 04:57 PM Hi u all. Judith Rotcliff and a two other small pipers have now confirmed that they would like to do a session to promote the small pipes. They can do this on the Saturday, and suggested it as a workshop for players and interested people, The venue would probebly be the Friary for about one and a half hours/ there is also the possibility of the Minster's hall if required. Asuggestion has come in for a ceiligh band (Ron Angel-The Sun Inn Stockton) does anyone know him or have contact. |

Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: Les from Hull Date: 17 May 02 - 02:50 PM Sorry not A4 - A5. Dumb dumb-de dumb! That's 4 sheets of A4 folded into an A5 booklet. |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: Sir Roger de Beverley Date: 17 May 02 - 02:46 PM Apologies - I've found the number for Chrissie that you sent me before R |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: Sir Roger de Beverley Date: 17 May 02 - 02:41 PM No I haven't contacted her - do you have a number? R |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: Les from Hull Date: 17 May 02 - 02:40 PM The programme design is progressing nicely. It'll probably be 8 pages of A4, including the 'underground' style pub map suggested by MC Fat (thanks mate!). I still need details of dance teams and spots, plus we need to set a copy deadline by checking with printers about production times and prices. Also there may be other events to add (Poems and Pints and a Fiddle Club have been suggested). Bearing in mind the number of venues we've got, it might be an idea to put up a blackboard or somthing (in the Leisure Centre?) so that anyone fixing up their own session can give it some publicity. I'll make sure that there is a draft programme layout for the next meeting, and I hope that I'll be there myself. |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: brid widder Date: 17 May 02 - 12:36 PM Did you manage to contact Chrissy Cullen?... she sounded quite certain her band would be available... she said way back before the first official festival she'd busked to raise funds to help it start up so it would be quite fitting for her to be involved now. |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: GUEST,Sarah Date: 17 May 02 - 08:13 AM I regret that Kinin can no longer attend at the Woolpack on Sunday afternoon - I believe my colleague has already been in touch with them. All the best with the festival. Cheers Sarah |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: GUEST,Comrade MC Fat Date: 17 May 02 - 08:07 AM Are we able to pay ? If so how much ? There are three possible Sheffield bands Roger the Badger, Rumours of Whiskey and Eat Yer Soup who I have contacts with and they may (?) do it cheap can you e-mail me on info@sharrowcf.org.uk with an idea of fees ? |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: GUEST,Sir Roger at work Date: 17 May 02 - 07:42 AM Whilst the programme does look good, it can't tell the whole story because things are changing constantly. For example, we have listed the peformers for the shanty event near the Beverley Beck but the Beverley Barge Preservation Society are organising lots of boats, craft stalls and craft workshops around the Beck area and I have only the sketchiest idea of the details of that. We have a new workshop added to the Friary - Sunday at 11am with Ann Lonsdale who is offering one on Song - to cover harmony, rounds etc. We do still, however, need a ceilidh band(Saturday 22nd approx 9pm start) since Pigjig can no longer come. Any offers? I know that we will have the raw material for several scratch bands at the festival but it would be better to be able to book a named band and caller. Roger |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: GUEST,MC Fat Date: 17 May 02 - 05:57 AM I's great to see so much positive thingies out there.The programme of events looks 'just great' and would be a credit to any 'paid' festival. Shows just what can be done where theres a will !! pip pip James |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: GUEST Date: 17 May 02 - 03:40 AM Linda I went into the Beverley Tourist Information Centre with some posters yesterday (Thursday). They are going to do a window display about two weeks ahead of the festival so if anyone can drop off folky stuff to use in the display, around the beginning of June that would be helpful. Do check out the dolphinharps site and the cottingham-live site as they both now contain potted biographies of all the booked acts(not enough time or space to include all the well known, but unpaid, performers that will be there)and you can see what a range of musical styles we have on offer. Amanda is preparing a programme for the dance teams - so far we have five teams coming and they will be dancing in town, outside some pubs and down at the Beck(not in it!). Don't forget the next PVFF committee meeting next Thursday 23rd at 7pm in County Hall. I'll have posters there for anyone who wants to collect some. R |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: harpmaker Date: 16 May 02 - 07:01 PM Thanks to Roger for keeping us updated. You can also visit Cottingham live,- CLICK HERE for more info on PVFF, AND local events comming up! |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: Linda Kelly Date: 16 May 02 - 02:51 PM Spoke to woman at Tourist office they have had lots of enquiries for the origina festival and have been filling folks in on the PVFF -lots of interest again-this could be big. She also says can she have a poster please! |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: harpmaker Date: 16 May 02 - 02:40 PM Plenty going on now. Go and have a good click about on this site to see who's doing what, when, and where. Oh, and, we have just added a guestbook to the site, please take time to sign it and add comments. Here's looking foreward to the festival!!! John&Christine. |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: oombanjo Date: 11 May 02 - 05:17 AM Save a half doz for me Roger as I'm in Bridlington and Doncaster this week, I can put one or two up in Sewerby park and southcliff caravan park ect. |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: GUEST,Sir Roger at Work Date: 10 May 02 - 10:04 AM I'm collecting the posters tomorrow, if anyone can use a few. R |

Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: oombanjo Date: 08 May 02 - 04:40 PM I have a christning on Sunday (sob sob) but last night in the SUN will make up for that, to those who were not there you missed a good night I was talking to a group from west yorkshire, at the Moor and coast festival, this group has been coming to Beverley festival for 10 years but dropped out last year,once they heard what we were doing with the fringe they have re-commited to come.(WELCOME BACK) Dosn't fiddle and banjo go well together. |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: Sir Roger de Beverley Date: 08 May 02 - 02:53 PM Hi Les Yes, I hope you are doing the programme - I've just been slotting stuff into the proforma that you sent me because I didn't want to bother you with endless amendments. However, in the next few days we'll have to go with what we've got at that stage - even if it isn't complete.I'll send you back the amended file and you can work your magic on that. The map idea sounds good - talk to you at Nellies on Sunday Roger |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: Les from Hull Date: 08 May 02 - 08:56 AM Hi Roger, I thought that I was doing the programme, but I'm glad if you've got it organised! Jim and I were talking about having a map of the pubs and clubs, and there's often a problem over map copyright, so Jim suggested a diagrammatic map like the London Underground. If you can give me a list of the pubs/clubs involved, I'll be glad to have a look at it for you. Did we get any further on stalls? A friend of a friend was interested and I said that she could ring the Manager at Beverley Leisure Centre. We got a lot of interest in PVFF at Moor and Coast Festival last weekend. See you on Sunday! |

Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: Sir Roger de Beverley Date: 07 May 02 - 02:22 PM Sorry about the last mailing appearing as guest - I was at work and didn't have a cookie set up. Anyway it was me inviting people to join the Westwood club so that they can attend events there as part of PVFF. Roger |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: GUEST Date: 07 May 02 - 03:43 AM Our latest venue for folk festival events is the Westwood Club in Beverley. This is a private club and people have to be members to go in there. However, membership is free and can be obtained within 24hrs. What we need is a list of names(addresses not necessary) of anyone who thinks that they might be coming to the PVFF so that the list can be displayed in the club - the people on the list become members 24hrs later. Please send your names (and that of any one that you know is coming) to me at r.i.busby@open.ac.uk and I'll compile the list. We will have to catch the campers and other people as they arrive at the festival. The club is only being used on the Sunday so anyone signing up by Saturday 22nd will be eligible. All 10,000 flyers have now been distributed and the posters are due in the next few days. The programme will go to the printers in about 1 week. Roger |

Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: GUEST Date: 30 Apr 02 - 09:30 AM Carole we are not sure of how many venues we'll have for workshops yet. Certainly some of the quieter pubs will be OK during the day but we are hoping to get some space in the Friary. At the moment only the harp workshop has a home so I'll have to get back to you about where the bodhran can fit in. cheers R |
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Part 3 From: GUEST,Caz Date: 30 Apr 02 - 06:24 AM Hi Roger I have had a word with Mary and if you want, she agrees to running a Bodhran workshop during the festival. It would have to be for complete beginners as she hasn't run one before but I thought it would be an addition to the events. If you think it would go down well let me know and we'll discuss when we could run it. Carole Dalton
