Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: bill\sables Date: 26 Mar 03 - 04:06 AM It was a bloddy good session last night. It sort of looked like the days of prohibition in the USA. When we arrived there were musicians in various guises all carring instruments disguised in machene gun cases. The door was closed with a notice of a private party posted, but you could get in if you said to the doorman "John from Hull sent me" The first half hour seemed to be dedicated to the "Athol Highlanders" which was played over and over again for the benifit of the BBC. It was good to see so many Mudcat members in one place. Cheers Bill |

Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: KJ Date: 26 Mar 03 - 04:11 AM Ooooooooh my aching head,this solacing stuff is not so good the day after!! Still a mild hangover is a reasonable price to pay for the wonderful session last night. I must admit to feeling slightly queasy whenever I think about that reporter's tie, the stuff of nightmares!! 'twas really good, can we have some more protest sessions please |

Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: The DeanMeister Date: 26 Mar 03 - 04:28 AM You weren't drinking that orrible halcoholic stuff were you, KJ? Shame on you. What a wonderful night, wasn't it? I may have to venture across the water into deepest lincs more often, if only to hear you sing...x Did you get the lowdown on monday session in Newport? Raggy, I'll pm the chords across when I wake up and remember what they are! Cheers, Pete. |

Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: The DeanMeister Date: 26 Mar 03 - 04:45 AM May I draw everybody's attention to the Session that Bill Sables has organised at the Crown and Anchor at Newport next Monday, 31st March, 8.30 pm. It has been organised with the intention of uniting the musicians from the Goole/Selby area with the Hull/Lincs people, and promises to be a wonderful night. If it's anything like the fantastic evening at the Sloop last night, it'll be ace. Hope to see you all there! Keep Music Live. |

Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: KJ Date: 26 Mar 03 - 05:14 AM Ooooooh my aching head, I'm only looking for sympathy - yes I know it's in the dictionary between shit & syphilis!! However I think I will have recovered enough to drag my long-suffering husband to the Newport session. |

Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: GUEST,The Bloke in the Corner Date: 26 Mar 03 - 06:26 AM Yes, yes, to all the above. We really must find something else to protest about really soon! Gill the landlady deserved - and got - our thanks last night, all those who came are SOOOO welcome every Tuesday night, not all sessions are as full at that one, but we have some real good ones, if a little smaller. Newport looks good, I'll be able to take three people from the Barton area. Let's do it ALL AGAIN! |

Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: ET Date: 26 Mar 03 - 01:06 PM Is this Newport Near Howden off the M62. Or Monmouth? It was a bloody good session last night but I hoped that if it had been a club I could raise a point of order and limit music to 120 bpm or fine anyone for exceeding this since I can't keep up. Just a reminder that Gill promises this every Tuesday, close down to public and members only. Cheers Eric PS have a hard copy (200 pages of Hansard report on the debate in Parliament on this bill. more interesting than it sounds, except Howells bit which was miserable and made no reference to all the protests about acoustic music. Anyone wanting a copy, free, send me a message and a snail mail address - too big to e-mail and would bust your printer printing it. |

Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: KJ Date: 26 Mar 03 - 02:10 PM Maybe we could have a protest session about the axing of Henry Ayrton's show. Laurie, if you don't get any more exciting offers we wouldn't mind a ride to Newport, share the bridge fees. |

Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: GUEST,Raggytash Date: 27 Mar 03 - 03:40 AM Well, did BBC Humberside give any coveage to the debacle over live music at the Sloop last night? |

Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: GUEST,KJ Date: 27 Mar 03 - 03:47 AM Yes |
|
Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: smallpiper Date: 27 Mar 03 - 04:27 AM Yes and you were on it Raggytash. with Sound bites from Karen, ET and chap from Manchester, plus all of us playing, it was quite good really apart from the tit of a presenter (not the bloke who came to the session) making some comment about saying nothing about folk music or he'll be in trouble. |

Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: The DeanMeister Date: 27 Mar 03 - 04:57 AM http://www.bbc.co.uk/england/looknorthhull/ Click on 1830 North East edition to view last night's programme. Not a bad article I thought. |

Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: The DeanMeister Date: 27 Mar 03 - 05:17 AM U have to look before the next show apparently, as that will automatically erase the last one. |

Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: The Shambles Date: 27 Mar 03 - 05:32 AM Can some kind soul make and post a transcription here before it gets replaced? |

Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: Noreen Date: 27 Mar 03 - 01:29 PM Just watched it- pretty good! Nice to see familiar faces on TV, and well-expressed opinions, even if it wasn't very seriously dealt with. If anyone else gets the chance to see it before it gets taken off, the relevant piece is about 2/3 way through the prog- save you wading through the rest of the local news. |

Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: Oaklet Date: 27 Mar 03 - 02:46 PM The article about the traffic in Hull was very enlightening though, Sireen. And beautfully lit. |

Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: Skipjack K8 Date: 27 Mar 03 - 06:27 PM I thought my left foot was syncopating wonderfully, plus the sexy button work at the start of the piece. Toe curling, from a personal viewpoint, we looked like the Wurzels. |

Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: KJ Date: 28 Mar 03 - 08:02 AM Just spoken to Gill of 'The Sloop' who thought the LookNorth bit was ace. There should be a piece in the Scunthorpe Telegraph tomorrow night. She's heard absolutely nothing from the council/fire brigade/health-safety inspectors/communicable diseases control centre,so as far as she's concerned it's still every Tuesday night. It'll run in the same format, pub closed to anyone who isn't a member but as we can all sign in two guests for the evening all folkies will be most welcome. I shan't be there next week as on dreaded nights in the lovely HRI but I hope it will be as good as this weeks. |

Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: Raggytash Date: 31 Mar 03 - 01:32 PM I sent Jeremy Taylor an email asking if I could have his chords for Jobsworth as I intended to regale our friend from the council with it. He kindly relpied and gave us the message of Good Luck Give 'em hell!! What a good chap eh? Chords for those who want to know I've posted on the Jobsworth thread, like Harvey Andrews said on one thread, a song not sung is a dead song and this one is a cracker |

Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: smallpiper Date: 01 Apr 03 - 02:56 AM Judging by past form there could well be a raid tonight - won't they be supprised to find the doors closed against them. Remember to come along members and guests! |
|
Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: KJ Date: 01 Apr 03 - 03:29 AM Don't forget you membership cards!!! Sorry I won't be there as at the workhouse. Have a good time everyone. |

Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: daithi Date: 01 Apr 03 - 04:41 AM Apologies from me too - can't make tonight (still recovering from last week's TV appearance)but will be along next week I hope. (Got my fix this week though at the Newport session)best wishes - Dáithí |

Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: GUEST,Raggytash Date: 01 Apr 03 - 04:50 AM The wombat will be incapcitated due to tooth extraction this afternoon and I'm still in dock with bad back. My apologies to all. In addition it is quite a way from Huddersfield for a session!! Good Luck tonight if you have a visitation |

Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: The DeanMeister Date: 01 Apr 03 - 07:51 AM Did we meet last night, Daithi? |
|
Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: daithi Date: 01 Apr 03 - 09:11 AM Yes Deanmeister - It was I playing a bit of whistle at the Crown & Anchor.And you were in fine voice yourself, if I may venture my opinion... Dáithí |

Subject: RE: Music Police raid Sloop, Barton Lincs From: GUEST,Bloke in the Corner Date: 01 Apr 03 - 01:08 PM Bloke will certainly be there, in the corner probably. God, how predictable he is becoming. Apart from that, the Crown & Anchor was a very good session last night, lovely singing and music, I'll be happy to put it on my monthly schedule. Hope to see plenty of you all tonight |
