Is there more information available about the weekend, what's going on etc? We're a handful of musical types living in York, just starting to find our feet in the folk world...

Thanks

Kit

And if you click on the little (tiny) d to the right of the number, you get straight to the last page, with the latest message first.

Kit, just come along and say hello! It'll be very informal: camping space, food and drink available, and lots of friendly musicians and listeners of all varieties.

If weather is fine, outdoor space may be utilised for sessions/ chatting etc... There'll definitely be informal tune sessions and singarounds, possibly separate or overlapping, as the fancy takes people. A fair bit of tune and song-swapping usually happens too.

The Yorkshire Gathering will be a Good Thing, and you'll not be sorry you decided to meet these strange people...

If you become a member here (it's free) you can send me a personal message if there's other things you'd like to know.

Mrs Duck may well be along with a timetable of events, but possibly not until the end of term :0)

Good News!!

I've been trying to establish if i can get time off work so as to attend Mrs D's Tyke's Extravvanganda in May.

Finally when I asked my boss about it this week, she said its ok with her if i have it off!- Yippee!

See you all in May.

Yes but will that leave you enough energy to get to the gathering Mr Happy ;¬)))
Hope you get down for some or all of the weekend, Kit. As Noreen says it is very informal and any timetables will be very loose and basically we will all just be having a great time singing and playing music with the odd pint or two thrown down for good measure (personally I think the gallon is an excellent measure!)

Clearly there will be some among those gathered there who can give me proper guidance as to what liquids to consume. I will place my fate in the hands of the experts on the subject. I do prefer drinking things that are brown for some reason (I know not what or why.)

Stranger in a strange land...and all that sort of thing.

A word to the wise Allen....never listen to Micca's advice on what to drink.It has led to grief,hangovers and the occasional spell in gaol.

There will be a new game available at the Yorkshire Gathering ( all being well!) called Prevent Badger Doing Too Much. Since it is local to us we are still intending coming - even though the rest of the May Festivals have had to go by the board.

Suggestions welcome!

I don't know Badger at all but I can think of a few other people who could be kept quite well occupied here.

Are there enough dancers to form a scratch side?
Are there any Kazoo players coming as this is the genral locality of the world famous Windy Bottom Kazoo Ensable.

I'll be bringing kazoos. But I prefer a comb and cigarette paper - if the comb hasn't been cleaned you can save time by flossing as you play.

Good timing - I've just joined, and look what I find; you're all meeting just down the road from me in Leeds.

I'd very much like to come along - I've justa few things to be shifted around.

Only that long? And I STILL don't know where I'm going! I will just go to Selby and listen hard for the noise!

Still space in the East Wing if anyone needs tent space and car space for 2 or 3 from London - who asked me for a lift?

Fair bit of space Alan but I could do to know how many caravans, tents, vans etc so we can plan the space. Thought if we put all the caravans down one side and the cars in the car park the tents could go together on the other side leaving a space for towing in and out. Will be going down to the pub very soon for a final check and sort out.
