Shhhhh - it's more likely to be End of Club if you advertise that.

Mind you, beside the would-be muscleman who posted previously, you will usually find those fair maidens Rock Chick and DipsoDeb and Essex Girl and myself have been known to turn up.

I can assure mudcat people that there is no virus on our webpage. I don't know why Mr Happy is saying don't click it. The reason that the link posted by "guestelric crapton" did not work is because he was uaing the wrong URL try this one FolkMob We have Derek Brimstone appearing on 29th January. Dave Kenningham IS a regular at our club, he is probably one of the finest performers in London at the moment.

well I went to this club and I thought it was crap!

There was this cranky old age pensioner croaking "mona lisa" and some bloke with a Kinks songbook in front of him strumming bum notes. The compere was a half wit who couldn't remember who he was introducing and didn't know what a harmonica was - "one of those things you blow" Then they had the cheek to charge me £2

In reply to 'Folkmans' comments, the Tudaor Barn is advertised as an 'acoustic' club rather than a pure folk club. Did Folkman go there to sing himself? On some nights they have some very good singers/musicians. This club does need more support and will accept aalmost any sort of music. So turn up folks and show us what you can do. On 29th January they have Derek Brimstone (see separate thread) An evening not to be missed. So TURN UP . without support clubs will close so use it or lose it.

Well Folkman, so you didn't like the pub or the people, well maybe they) didn't like you! And the pensioner who you said croaked is a fine singer, elderly maybe but a dedicated supporter who supports all singers, whether they are excellent, shy, beginners or what ever, if they have the nerve to sing in front of people, then they deserve support, not criticism. Maybe you have forgotten what it was like when you started.

You know what they say those who have been criticised all their life grow up to be critical!!! That says it all.

The Folk Mob are a friendly bunch of nutters,who meet on a Wednesday night at the Tudor Barn Pub, Well Hall Rd, Eltham. If you go to the Blue Clicky on the first Thread of this page you can get all the info. Come along and try it for yourself.. sometimes it's great and sometimes (rarely) it's crap as can be said for alot of small clubs, as Charles pointed out any night is what you make it.
Sorry Folkman, I don't recall you, so you could not have had much of an impact on the evening or it's quality. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it that night. Poor old Bill, he would be devastated if we passed on your comments, and would probably never get up to sing again. One great thing i can say about the Folk Mob is they are tolerant and encouraging to everyone. GET A LIFE!

To all FOLKMOB members - have you contacted your MP yet about EDM 331 which is suggesting changes to the PEL proposals. I've contacted Clive Efford, Eltham's MP, and at last receieved an answer from him saying that he'll have a look at the motion - he still doesn't seem to have signed up though. If you live in Eltham, send Mr Efford a FAX (you can find out how to do it on the above-mentioned thread) he sounds as though he might be swayed. If you don't live in the Eltham constituency, FAX your own MP.

It's a pity that DK's birthday thread has been deleted - perhaps we should send the pictures up for entry in the Mudcat Calendar - The entries from Essex Girl and myself both reveal more bare flesh than DK is showing. OK - Rhona is displaying quite a lot, but it was a paid gig for her - if she was a regular booking we'd pack the place !

DB why I'm not surprised to hear that response from you. Personally I'm glad it been deleted, not the sort of thing (excuse the pun) to put on Mudcat, anyway Dave wasn't even aware it had been plastered on the site, which is a bit OOT to say the least.

Wasn't talking about what DK had on but what the Lady didn't have on! there is not problem about this for his Birthday surprise, but plastered on the site, bit degrading in my opinion. It's the sort of thing that most men wouldn't have a problem with, note I say most, not all, but as I said it's my personal opinion.

Oh god, I hope no-one plans anything like that for my 60th birthday in about 18 months time (hint, hint).

I'm trying to remember if Ian Petrie sings Mona Lisa - It's pretty popular now - I think we have Bill G to thank for that - He seems to be singing it as much as I used ( note the used ) to sing Ride On.

Can anyone give some more background to Ian Petrie - A good 10mins introduction always goes over well - It shows something that the Tudor Barn club has survived this cold winter - Singers, performers and those who just like to listen etc made the effort to come out on some real bad weather nights. Thanks to everyone who did. The majority of people leave after having a good/very good/excellent night - Sometime it does not work more often than not it does. - And the fact that it has been working for over ten years proves that.

Come down to this Wednesday's PA night - I have heard a rumour that Vicky will be appearing and will have available her 1st CD for sale.

Subject: RE: FOLKMOB
From: Dave Bryant
Date: 12 Mar 03 - 12:05 PM

The question is not so much why does a folk club have a sound man as why does a folk club have a sound system. An unmanaged PA is the worst option of all !

During the 60s and for most of the 70s, Folk Clubs did not need to use sound systems. Occasionally a guest act would bring one with them, but that tended to be the exception rather than the rule. In some large venues (eg Dartford Folk Club amplification is neccessary, but in many others a bit of sensible arrangement makes it perfectly possible to manage without. One of the problems with amplification is that it tends to create a barrier between performer and audience and inhibits audience participation - Linda and I got some strange looks from people, when we joined in with choruses at Dartford recently - even though the guest, Vin Garbutt, had asked everyone to join in.

I recently organised a comemorative concert in The Tudor Barn and we decided to do it without the PA. We had a wonderful evening with great chorus singing and none of the performers had any problem getting their songs over, because there was a lot less background noise.

Sorry about that - I really cannot understand some of the comments on this thread. Tonight some great acts had the opportunity to play at the Tudor Barn -including Vicky who has just released her CD, Bill who has given me the chance to listen to and take in some great new and old songs - Pipper and Matthew who are young and gifted singer/songwriters - Keith who has supported the club for longer than I can remember and who is another gifted songwriter- Brian - another talented artist who plays at numerous local clubs - Kevin - a good singer who somehow gets everyone to join in the chorus - and Mike a newcomer who stayed to the end and asked for details as he wants to revisit. Not to forget Paul on the sax - a superb instrumentalist.
There were also those there who could not play since the list was full.
Please come along one Wednesday and make your own mind up. You will be very welcome.

Pat (Dipsodeb's SO) has commisioned 5gals of my beer for FOLKMOB's midsummer bash at Knockholt (Kent), Thur 19th - Sun 22nd June. I made the wort last night and threw the yeast this morning. It will be a dark porter-style beer, with original gravity of 1.050 for which I shall propose the name of "Knockholt Knockout".

Linda and I are planning to hold one of our folk barbecues two weeks earlier on Sun 8th June. Any beer left over will be re-freshed and donated to Knockholt.

Hmmmm! If you are going to re-start an old thread at least say something interesting like.....Tudor Barn still going strong.

In fact it is growing very nicely and has had some fantastic performers on recently like Don Mescall for instance now there's a man to watch out for. Excellent guitarist and a prolific and astounding song writer.

Walking the Witch will be performing they're 300th gig there on the 5th of Jan 2005, should be a great night.

Happy New Year to all you catters and lets hope for a peaceful and prosperous one and keep in our thoughts and hearts all those less fortunate than ourselves.

Blessings

Great stuff. Jeff phoned us last night so will be there Weds. There may well be some good blues that night as big Pat on harmonica and lightning Jeff play fantastic together.

Hi,

Have just moved into the South London area & thought about paying this club a visit. I like the website (& venue!), and they've booked some good acts recently. Been around for a while, too, which is always good.

Only thing that worries me is they seem to rely on PA a lot. I'm no purist, but have got fed up with being deafened by distorted noise. I see from earlier in this thread that their resident sound engineer (presumably) upset "Guest Folkman".

So, anyone been there & can give some unbiased comments?

Thanks,

Ted

Hi Ted, welcome to South East London. They only have a p.a. setup on alternate weeks. Next Wednesday is p.a. night. They have the occasional guest on a p.a. night, but the other week they have a singaround. It's a big and well attended club, so don't expect to get more than two songs in. They are quite eclectic in the range of stuff they play/sing, so, give it a try,nothing ventured eh...

Please go along and see for yourself Ted. If you're not into PA then the singaround nights are just the ticket. You never know what's going to turn up. Last night a new duo turned up who played some fantastic traditional Bretton/Irish tunes, one of the guys miked up a Kalimba it might sound strange but it was very beautiful accompanied by some very fine pipes.
They apparently also have a accordion player who was absent last night, but they have been booked for next year March/April?

Hope to see you there sometime.

Thanks also to John & Debs. With John's sort of write-up, I'll have to look in next year sometime.

Thanks, and all of you have a good time over Xmas
