Subject: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: GUEST,MC Fat Date: 17 Jun 02 - 06:50 AM Just to let everyone know that the Peoples Voice Folk Festival is open for business on Friday 21st June with an opening ceremony that will have a budget nothing like the World Cup opening ceremony. Come along and join in all the fun. |

Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: Sir Roger de Beverley Date: 17 Jun 02 - 09:15 AM The programmes are going so fast that I have had to order another 500 to be printed so that we have a few left to hand out on the weekend itself! Have just finished writing up the tasting notes for the 61 beers(including 16 CAMRA Champion Beers of Britain)that will be available in the Sun Inn. Am now going down to Beverley Beck for a photo opportunity with the Hull Daily Mail for last minute publicity. And the Sun has started shining at last!! R |

Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: GUEST,MC Fat Date: 17 Jun 02 - 09:30 AM You poor bastard having to sup 61 beers. People think it's dead easy but Roger you just have to suffer for your art. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: GUEST,Sir Roger de Beverley Date: 18 Jun 02 - 03:32 AM Well, as they say - someone has to do it. I'm now waiting for my first taste of the special festival brew from Wawne brewery - we have asked for it to be called "session bitter" because the word session has resonances for both folkies and beer enthusiasts (and I'm both) R |
|
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: John J Date: 18 Jun 02 - 05:18 AM I'm cycling from Manchester to York for the CTC Rally this weekend. I'll be coming through Beverley mid afternoon on Friday. Is there anywhere you could recommend around that time of day for a bit of a sing? John |
|
Subject: RE: BS: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: GUEST,Sir Roger de Beverley Date: 18 Jun 02 - 05:39 AM John The festival doesn't actually get going until Friday evening but you may find some early arrivals at the campsite (follow the signs for the Leisure Centre)or, perhaps, in the Sun Inn opposite the Minster - I might be there myself checking up on the quality of the beers.

Subject: RE: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: Les from Hull Date: 19 Jun 02 - 08:06 AM Well at least you got the anorexia sorted out, Jim! |

Subject: RE: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: GUEST,MC Fat Date: 19 Jun 02 - 08:20 AM Thanks for that Les but unfortunately I now have Apathetic Bulemia I eat then I can't be bothered to throw up. I have also purchased a replacement T-shirt bearing my logo Big Fat Bastard. Oh with regard to the Two Rhetts one of the potential Sheffield Rhetts wants to be a Chinese/Welsh James Bond called Riv N' Rhett Dai. |

Subject: RE: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: GUEST,Sir Roger de Beverley Date: 19 Jun 02 - 12:31 PM The beer festival in the Sun has been reduced from 61 beers to 60 - we couldn't get Big Lamp, Prince Bishop but there are still 16 CAMRA champion beers including the current one Oakham JHB. Oh, and don't believe that weather forecast - it will be a fine weekend. R |

Subject: RE: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: GUEST,Sir Roger de Beverley Date: 20 Jun 02 - 03:22 AM Just a remeinder to all those who are coming to the festival that, if you want to go to the Sunday afternoon concert in the Westwood Club (Featuring Aiken's Drum, John Conolly and KwameD) you will need to sign up for membership of the club. Membership is free and we just need your name. There will be sign up sheets around on Friday night and Saturday but you need to put your name on one before 2pm on Saturday. R |

Subject: RE: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: Linda Kelly Date: 23 Jun 02 - 03:14 PM Just got back from the Peoples Voice Festival and what can I say -it has been FANTASTIC!!!!!! Singarounds music sessions great acts, good food and company, familiar faces and lots of Mudcatters!!! The highlights for me have been the amazing quality of the singarounds -which were wonderfully hosted by Jim McDonald (MC FAT) who at one stage treated us all to his special skills in paper modelling when he produced a to scale model of the Endeavour. Also the wonderfully music of Cara, Oakley's band on Saturday night. Lovely to see Ian Stephenson and family in Bill Sables music session and of course the Ducks!! A big big thankyou to Bridwidder oombanjo Les from Hull & harpmaker but most of all to Sir Roger de Beverley for organising a fantastic FREE festival which exceeded all expectations. |
|
Subject: RE: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: nutty Date: 23 Jun 02 - 04:54 PM I agree with every word that Linda has posted ...... only made Friday and Saturday but had a great time. Also thanks to Beverley Council and it's people for being so amenable. |
|
Subject: RE: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 23 Jun 02 - 05:03 PM I agree, Thanks Roger (and everybody else who helped to organise it).john |

Subject: RE: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: Willa Date: 23 Jun 02 - 07:40 PM What a good weekend; met more mudcatters,heard some wonderful singing/playing. The tills were jingling merrily, so I think you've made a great number of people very happy, Roger and co. I met and talked to people from the US,Holland,Germany, Kent, Derby,just to name a few places. Don't forget there's a day of music at Cottingham next Saturday (10 to 4pm, followed by a Roy Bailey concert at 8pm),if you're free. |
|
Subject: RE: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: GUEST,Sir Roger de Beverley Date: 24 Jun 02 - 04:26 AM Well, what can I say? Just a huge thankyou to everyone who did so much to make it work. It certainly exceeded all my expectations and I doubt that there is a pint of beer left in Beverley today. The concert at the Westwood club was great. John Conolly, you all know and love but I think that a lot of people were surprised and delighted to see and hear KwameD and Aiken's Drum - certainly not the last time time that either will play in Beverley (KwameD are booked into the Westwood in September so put that in your diaries).

Subject: RE: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: GUEST,MC Fat Date: 24 Jun 02 - 07:01 AM Got into my flat at 9.30p.m. last night (Sun) and seriously thought about going to my normal Sunday sesh but then Mr Serious Head said go to bed you're knackered and amazingly Mr Stupid head agreed so I went to bedibobos. Had an absoluntely double fantastic time it was definitely a drink on a stick. As has been said it exceeded expectations and the feed back has been wonderfull. Thanks to all who attended. It's going to be hard to match !! I have around sixty seven great pics from the digi camera I'm not sure how I download them so folk can see them can a catter assist ? |

Subject: RE: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: GUEST,Sir Roger de Beverley Date: 24 Jun 02 - 08:07 AM The Sun Inn for the Doghouse Skiffle Group last night was so full that they had to let one person out so that one could come in. We all left at about half past midnight (there had been a bar extension to midnight)and went singing into the night. Happy days R |
|
Subject: RE: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: GUEST,MC Fat Date: 24 Jun 02 - 08:57 AM Have e-mailed some piccies to Jeoff for putting on the Photo's site so keep on looking I don't know how long it takes |
|
Subject: RE: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: GUEST,MC Fat Date: 24 Jun 02 - 09:25 AM Just another thought perhaps I could e-mail the file of pictures to the Dolphin Harps or Cottingham Live site ? |
|
Subject: RE: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: GUEST,Sir Roger de Beverley Date: 24 Jun 02 - 09:39 AM How much do we have to pay to get the negatives (or the digital equivalent) back? R |

Subject: RE: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: GUEST,MC Fat Date: 24 Jun 02 - 10:42 AM The pics are now on the Mudcat. Go to Site Map then Members Photo's and Info then Photo's then Events then People's Voice Folk Festival. I do have more but it's a good start |
|
Subject: RE: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: Sir Roger de Beverley Date: 24 Jun 02 - 11:25 AM Jim I don't think that you can help here but does anyone have any pictures of the ceilidh band? The Council rang me up, they want one to put on display for when the Queen visits Beverley in July!! Incidentally, I hope that all you Guardian readers noted that I got the festival into their arts listing in the Saturday paper - quite few lines too. R |
|
Subject: RE: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: bill\sables Date: 24 Jun 02 - 11:39 AM One of the best lines I heard all weekend was from John from Hull. He informed me that he was sending his keyboard back to the shop because it was knackered. When I asked what was wrong with it he answered, " I keep putting words in and they all come out with such bad spelling even I can't understand them when I look at them next morning". Bill |
|
Subject: RE: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: Mrs.Duck Date: 24 Jun 02 - 12:51 PM John from Hull - is he the one with the hat and glasses who didn't recognise me???;-)We only made Saturday but wish we had gone for the full weekend. We had a great time and I promise anyone who had to sit through my newly learned song that next time it will all be in the correct key with notes I can actually sing!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 24 Jun 02 - 12:59 PM I think i need sume new glasses Mrs Duck! |
|
Subject: RE: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: brid widder Date: 24 Jun 02 - 02:27 PM Jane... maybe your song has the same problem as John's keyboard ...my gob had the same problem.... especially on Friday night! ... definately an absolutely MEGGA weekend... the only bit that was less than brilliant was the state of my head on saturday morning!! huge thanks to Roger and co... not a bad do for a cancelled festival!! |
|
Subject: RE: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: selby Date: 24 Jun 02 - 02:31 PM We had a great time both in the Mariners session with Bill and Michael also the 2 sessions we attended in the Tiger. I hope that next year if the pay one takes place that the camping can be free and the spirit of this festival can happen again. Well done everone that worked upto, during & I suspect after the festival to make it the undoubted success that it was. |

Subject: RE: PVFF Beverley Starts Friday 21st From: Les from Hull Date: 24 Jun 02 - 02:42 PM What a weekend! Thanks to everyone who helped put it together (especially Sir Roger without whom...). And thanks to everyone for coming - it's amazing what people'll do when you tell 'em it's free! And certainly not least, a real big thanks to Mudcat. A lot of ideas and support came through Mudcat, it got the message through that there was something happening in Beverley this year. I think that we enjoyed this festival as much as any other we've been to (maybe 'cos we had plenty of money left for drink, and we could commute to a comfy bed!). Maggie and I reckon that Sunday's Iced Gems Session was about the best singing and playing session we've ever been to. |
