Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: treewind Date: 27 Apr 04 - 04:38 PM I don't usually post about gigs with our ceilidh band Fendragon here, because they're mostly private parties like weddings etc.... but this Friday we're doing a public Unicorn ceilidh in Hitchin, Herts so if you're in the area and feel like a bit of lively dancing come along. Other news: we got our first online CD purchase customer today. Hooray! Break out the champagne... Coming up: Bacca Pipes, Keighley on May 7 Holmfirth Festival on May 8 Anahata |

Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: treewind Date: 11 Jul 04 - 11:46 AM As posted elsewhere we will be putting in a brief appearance at Market Rasen Folk Club this Friday. Just a preview for our gig there next year, as we'll be on an expenses-paid trip in the area anyway. If you're around Cambridge at lunchtime on Tuesday 27th July we are playing at a thing called Cambridge Folk Week on Christ's pieces - the bit of green land next to Midsummer Common. That's with Dave and Gina Holland, the other members of our ceilidh band Fendragon and we'll be playing a mixture of English and French music. Fendragon are also doing another public ceilidh next year - the monthly Meltdown series, on 12 Feb at: Clair Hall, Perrymount Road (B2028), Haywards Heath, W Sussex, RH16 3DN And way ahead, The White Hart, Mickleby, N. Yorkshire, on April 23. Next big thing: Song Links 2, August 2 at Sidmouth Anahata |

Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: Rasener Date: 11 Jul 04 - 12:08 PM Looking forward to seing you this coming Friday Mary and Anahata at the rural Market Rasen town where you will get a very warm welcome. Got the red carpet and bunting waiting :-) The Chickens, Cows, Sheep and any other animal that outnumbers the population here are also very excited :-) |
|
Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: treewind Date: 11 Jul 04 - 01:46 PM Les - Mary's going to be visiting a few of the aforementioned animals (or really their owners) during the day before we see you. I tremble with anticipation at the prospect of meeting an audience of excited sheep. Mary says she's used to them - she comes from Wales, you see. Anahata |
|
Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: Rasener Date: 11 Jul 04 - 01:53 PM I daren't go into my welsh sheep jokes incase I get accused of racism :-) I am getting a bit worried about you Anahata if you are trembling at the thought of excited sheep. he he :-) Is Mary going to sing in the Welsh Language ? |
|
Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: treewind Date: 11 Jul 04 - 02:29 PM Songs in Welsh are a distinct possibility. Especially if requested. I refuse to reply to your comments about sheep. Anahata |
|
Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: Rasener Date: 11 Jul 04 - 03:01 PM I listened to your demo CD and was fascinated with Mary singing in Welsh, however that is me and I don't know if roast beef 2 veg and potatoes audience think the same way :-) LOL I hope nobody takes me too serious. |

Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: a gud ole bwoy Date: 12 Jul 04 - 05:13 AM Have put the 27 July Cambridge lunchtime event in the diary. There is a Cambridge gov site with a map that shows Christ's Pieces. Look at: www.cambridge.gov.uk/leisure/mapblack.htm Yes it really is mapblack, not mapblock, even though the map has some colour on it, must be the logic of a govenment department. All totally irrelevant, the main point is GO ALONG IT WILL BE GREAT |

Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: George Papavgeris Date: 12 Jul 04 - 05:31 AM Les, If you don't fall in love with Mary's and Anahata's sound straight off, and don't buy at least 10 copies of "Sharp Practice" for yourself and friends, I will be disappointed, dismayed, disenfranchised and distraught. Never mind Moray, THIS is the album of the year in my book. Have chequebook ready; unless it bounces like a spring lamb. (Sheepishly - George) |
|
Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: Rasener Date: 12 Jul 04 - 06:14 AM Sheepishly George I have already heard their sound and like what they do very much. That is why they are booked for next year. Wool have to baaaa ter a bit with them :-) Mutton grumble tho |

Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: treewind Date: 08 Aug 04 - 11:29 AM I might as well make use of this thread to announce that we now have a song book for sale. Lyrics and tunes for 21 of Mary's songs as recorded on "Through The Groves" and "Sharp Practice", in an easy-to-use comb bound A4 book (guaranteed to open flat on a music stand) with laminated totally beer-proof and coffee-proof outer covers. There's lots of pretty colour illustrations too, some of which are Mary's own hand drawn or painted artwork. More on the Web site, of course. If you get there before I do to change it, the price is £8, not £10 as it currently says. These are traditional English songs but many are not available in this form from other books as they have mostly been pieced together from words and music from different collected versions. Catch us at Whitby and buy a copy! Here's the contents list Barb'ry Ellen Bonny Light Horseman Brigg Fair The Broomfield Wager Carrion Crow The Faithful Sailor Boy False Bride Lady Maisry Lovely on the Water The Mermaid No My Love, Not I (When Fishes Fly) Pride of the Season Rosebud in June Sheath and Knife Spotted Cow Through the Groves The Turtle Dove Unquiet Grave Young Banker Young Redin Willie o' Winsbury Anahata |

Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: treewind Date: 28 Aug 04 - 05:51 PM Next up: Frodsham folk club. After that we're appearing in a couple of events at Fylde on the Saturday (the programme has only my name in it but it's Mary and me really). Whitby was great! Hard work but we had some good times too. A special highlight was the Sussex ceilidh where we provided the bottom end of the band (cello & piano) to complement Dan Quinn, Will Duke, Vic and Tina Smith on tinkly treble instruments... so much fun we all want to do it again. Anyone want a proper old fashioned English thump band for a ceilidh in Cambridge, Sussex or all points between? Anahata |

Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: treewind Date: 06 Sep 04 - 11:58 AM Beginning of 2005 is lining up nicely now with new gigs at The Friday 13th club in Harrogate and The Song Loft in Milton Keynes. This Friday we're at the Waveney club in Lowestoft for the second time. Not that their site has any info, though there's a review of last time we played there. Anahata |

Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: Sooz Date: 06 Sep 04 - 12:44 PM Where were you yesterday? We were at the Fleetwood Gym to see you as billed on the Fylde Festival Programme having missed you on Saturday |
|
Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: treewind Date: 06 Sep 04 - 01:25 PM Sorry - Fylde was a last minute opportunity which we grabbed because we'd be in the area after Frodsham, and we were only expecting to do one day - as soon as we received a working program (only two weeks ago) I phoned Alan to say we couldn't do Sunday but the amendment didn't make it into the programme nor apparently any last minute announcements. We were definitely there on Saturday as advertised, in fact we had a great day! Really sorry we missed each other. Anahata |

Should be a good evening. This weekend - Otley Folk Festival Festival website what we're doing there Anahata |

Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: treewind Date: 20 Sep 04 - 10:43 AM Well that's strange - my previous attempt at posting didn't come through at all but the test worked. I thought it might be a new cookie thing because I'm using a different browser (Firefox)... Now I'll have to type it all again. Fresh (?) back from Otley, where we had a great time and enjoyed staying with the wonderful Harry Scurfield (there seems to be nothing he can't play on an Anglo concertina), we're looking forward to our guest night this Friday at the Everyman in Saxmundham, Suffolk.

Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: The Unicorn Man Date: 06 Oct 04 - 11:33 AM Martin from Barton is in fact from Luton. But that does'nt scan so good. We will be glad to see you on Monday and Tuesday, Anahata and Mary. |

On Dec 4 we're topping the bill at a folk concert at the village Hall in Mellis, Suffolk. December 16 sees us at The Royal Oak, Lewes, Sussex.

Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: treewind Date: 04 Jan 05 - 01:50 PM 2005 - here we go (Happy new year to all our readers!) Jan 9: Old Rose and Crown Folk Club, Walthamstow, N London. Our second return to a club full of old friends, not counting the number of times we've dropped in for a floor spot. Jan 13: Bideford Folk Club, Devon Another a re-booking, a terrific little club in North Devon, followed by a weekend in Cornwall with friends and the expectation of sessions and clubs every night... Jan 18: St Neots Folk Club, Bedfordshire. This is the third time too... Jan 20: Redbourn Folk Club, Herts Hooray! Been waiting a long time for this one! Other news: Our CD is all recorded, blurb written, graphics being put together, expected in a couple of months. Anahata |

Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: Rasener Date: 04 Jan 05 - 01:56 PM Just in time for your gig at Market Rasen then Anahata? |
|
Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: treewind Date: 04 Jan 05 - 03:15 PM I jolly well hope so! That's nearly four months away! At least we hadn't released Sharp Practice when we did Bideford before, so I hope we'll sell a few copies of that there. But I'm just hoping the new CD arrrives before we run out of copies of the old one. Anahata |

Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: GUEST, Hamish Date: 05 Jan 05 - 07:21 AM Good gig in Lewes in December: thanks. Particularly loved the relish Mary put into the "No: I've not brought you gold... I've to watch you... swing on the gallows tree" in Prickle Eye Bush. Marvellous! |
|
Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: GUEST Date: 05 Jan 05 - 08:43 AM Thanks Hamish - it was truly a shock to see you there. A pleasant one, of course... Prickle Eye Bush is on the new CD, with an instrumental arrangement that sounds like we've unearthed a previously undiscovered Bach Brandenburg concerto. To my Anglo concertina is added fiddle and recorder played by the truly excellent Dave and Gina Holland. Very different from the Bellowhead version! Anahata |
|
Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: GUEST, Hamish Date: 05 Jan 05 - 12:14 PM Er, I think the word you're looking for is "surprise". ;-) I look forward to the full Bradenburg Concerto series. On the perfectly tempered melodeon and banjo. Ouch! |
|
Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: treewind Date: 27 Jan 05 - 06:54 PM Updates, reminder, etc... We're at the SONG LOFT, Stony Straford, with perfectly tempered melodeon and bad-tempered banjo on Friday Feb 4. The new CD will be with us in mid February. You can see a sneak preview of what it will look like and a track listing HERE. Anahata |
|
Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: treewind Date: 27 Jan 05 - 06:58 PM That should be Stony Stratford. Oh well, Matt didn't spell Mary's name right on the web site either... Anahata |
|
Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: treewind Date: 28 Feb 05 - 07:44 AM Here we go... As announced in another Thread the new CD Floating Verses is with us and selling fast, with a good few going last night at Hitchin where we were supporting Artisan (who were terrific BTW - if you haven't heard them catch them soon - they're on a final tour) Anyway, coming up for March is: March 3 - The Anchor folk club, Byfleet March 4 - Seaford (run by Mudcatter "Vectis") Then Mary's taking advantage of a bit of a gap in the gigs to get her sinuses drained, which is a day and a night in hospital, general anaesthetic job, and which means she won't be able to sing for two weeks, but in the long term should cut down on sore throats and other singer-unfriendly symptoms. March 19 I'm running a melodeon workshop as part of melodeons and more in Mendlesham, Suffolk. Baldock and Letchworth at the "Caffeine" bar on April 1 - but that's another and very busy month... Anahata |
|
Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: My guru always said Date: 28 Feb 05 - 02:01 PM Looking forward to your gig at Byfleet, will be a brill evening! Glad to see you'll be at Seaford on the Friday, that's a lovely club! See you Thursday... |
|
Subject: RE: Mary Humphreys and Anahata - gig info From: treewind Date: 30 Mar 05 - 06:23 AM Coming soon to Herts, Wiltshire, Hampshire, Norh Yorkshire and London... April 1: Baldock and Letchworth, Herts April 17: Song Links 2 CD Launch, Cecil Sharp House, London. With Martyn Wyndham-Read, Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all April 18: Wiltshire Traditions Folk Club, Devizes. April 19: Ringwood Folk Club, Hampshire April 23: White Hart folk club Mickleby, N Yorkshire Anahata |
