Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Tig Date: 23 Feb 04 - 11:48 AM We abandoned them at Newcastle Airport at about 10.45 this morning and a short while later got a text message that just said "Yes" so we can only assume they had booked in and the flight was going. They have not returned to the Globe to be under our feet!!!! Good photos thank you Ducks. |

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Leadfingers Date: 19 Feb 04 - 01:19 PM I only got home today as I broke the journey with friends and family on the long trek South. I had a very enjoyable weekend and must apologise for blowing up,but if I am doing a song in Eminor and someone joins in in some other key at full volume I tend to NOT be very synpathetic. The Whole weekend was well worth the three hundred and something mile each way trip though. |

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: harpmaker Date: 18 Feb 04 - 06:51 PM Stumbled across the Globe,Guisbrough. I must say its great to get away, when you;ve worked all week .They servrd some grog and we had agreat snog , and went off to our van for,another fine verse,it can only get worse , there was a great "Craic" in the van after hours. Leadfigers is a spunky little dood, though he must learn to control his temper when people are trying to get close to him .Dear fellow you must not be bullied by Scots men with no Knickers on, or librarians.Despite the appauling wheather,Iwas undone,so was the bride.Its a jolly holliday with Mary.

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Mrs.Duck Date: 17 Feb 04 - 01:53 PM I have just sent some photos the pene so hopefully they will be there soon. Shame not everyone is on them. Good to meet new faces (and other parts Dave!) and sorry to Nick for not getting the chance to talk more with you - maybe next time. |

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Davetnova Date: 17 Feb 04 - 03:43 AM I couldn't face work or computers yesterday but I'm almost functioning today. Thank you to everyone for a wonderful weekend. I very much hope we will see all of you again. Dave and Nancy |

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: magician Date: 16 Feb 04 - 05:19 PM A truly great weekend thank to all who came to help us to celebrate our handfasting. A special thankyou to Badger, Tig and Col K for jsut making eveything happen. Mrs Duck, you did a wonderfull job with knocking knees, you were more nervous than Clare and I were, and thankyou for the beautifull tipsy cake. The wizzbangs that Paul and Karen brought along realy made the evening go with a bang. Pub still in one piece. See you again next year for our first anniversary. magician & Gillie |

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Geoff the Duck Date: 16 Feb 04 - 03:51 PM By the way, we returned home via a visit to see the sea, so found ourselves at Saltburn before turning round and driving home via Guisborough. When we found ourselves passing the Globe, about four hours after leaving it, we almost called in to ask "By the way...Did you say Turn Righ or Turn Left at the end of the road..." A very enjoyable weekend. Many thanks. Quack!! Geoff. |

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Buddug Date: 16 Feb 04 - 03:29 PM Great Weekend. Thanks to Magician, Gillie, Tig, Badger, Col, Firecat and everyone who made it really good fun, including Mr. and Mrs. Duck and ducklings, especially my darts partner! Thanks to Fretwell for the pyrotechnics. The whizzbangs were impressive. I have never seen a rocket fly that high when not attached to a Saturn V. Great sessions throughout. Great to put names to faces. Hope to see you all soon Buddug |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Mrs.Duck Date: 16 Feb 04 - 03:16 PM Back home safe and sound and after finding the kitchen under a pile of muck (teenagers!!!!)have opened a bottle - well we need it after all the fun of the weekend. It was great as was being given the honour of officially handfasting the happy couple as well as baking the cake. They are now well and truly duckfasted but I did use ribbon not duck tape! |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Tig Date: 16 Feb 04 - 01:07 PM Back home to sleep and recover! A great weekend all round finishing late last night with a session which included Blues Man Roger Sutcliffe turning up. Nice to be able to put even more names to faces. We think we ended up with about 30 catters and induced a couple to get on their computers and join when they get a second. The 'Buy a Square' on Saturday night raised £44 which I will get to Bill\Sables as soon as possible. (We couldn't find the raffle tickets so names were put in the big tankard for drawing!). Thanks to Magician and Gillie for letting us loose in the Watering Hole for the weekend. I'm back there for a week and a bit next Saturday as they escape to Madeira for a 'honeymoon'. If you are around pop in but don't forget to sign the Mudbook. |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Gillie Date: 16 Feb 04 - 04:20 AM What a wonderful weekend. My first Mudcat gathering and Magician and I hosted it. Many, many thanks to all who came and took part. Here's to next year!! Well and truly handfasted, fed, watered and at times well drunk - hic. Again a wonderful weekend. Gillie |

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: GUEST,Waffleboard Date: 15 Feb 04 - 05:43 PM WHo was the lady in the pollo-neck who sang summertime? Loverly rich warm voice. |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Tig Date: 15 Feb 04 - 02:48 PM Hic says Mrs Duck having spent all weekend imbibing of the excellent alcohol here - as we all have! We got the pair of them handfasted and the broom jumped. They got 5 for artistic impression and about 9 for athletic style, however BOTH of them got 10 out of 10 for alcoholic content over the evening. Pictures to follow shortly. Unfortunately anyone turning up late missed out on the handfasting ale as we drank all 18 gallons on Friday evening. There were plenty of fireworks over the weekend but no one was seriously hurt. Thanks to the large rockets Whitby lifeboat was called out. Several of us are still here trying to empty another barrel of beer. |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: GUEST,MMario Date: 13 Feb 04 - 03:30 PM y'all enjoy yourselves seriously well now! |

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Zany Mouse Date: 13 Feb 04 - 03:01 PM Sadly we are going to missing this evening but aim to be there tomorrow. Rhiannon |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: magician Date: 13 Feb 04 - 01:28 PM Well catters have started to arrive, and it looks like the start to a brilliant weekend Gillie |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Tyke Date: 12 Feb 04 - 03:43 PM I'm very, very, sorry, Raggytash I have got it wrong again my Dyslexia rules again. To make matters worse I left you a couple of pints behind the bar in Runswick Bay just for you. So that makes it you round in Guisborough when we see you this weekend. I think I got it right this time. |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Tig Date: 12 Feb 04 - 02:31 PM Yes it was Gisburn Mrs D - and I can't think of any of the locals who have the given name Guy. However this doesn't mean that there may not be some dastardly business afoot. Fretwell may be bringing some Wizzbangs!!!!!! See you tomorrow. |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Mrs.Duck Date: 12 Feb 04 - 01:19 PM Or was that Gisburn? |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Mrs.Duck Date: 12 Feb 04 - 01:19 PM Tomorrow, tomorrow!! Still trying to work out how to transport a 3ft cake!! Forgot about a raffle prize but will see what we have or get something locally. Still hoping to be there before 7 and get to the chip shop. Popping out later to get some bacon. Hope Guy isn't about this weekend -nasty bit of work that one! |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Bassic Date: 12 Feb 04 - 08:58 AM Davetnova, Try saying Gizburra (The G is hard as in Gold), I think that should be identifiable to the locals as Guisborough! Tig/Badger, If you get chance before you set off (if you are not there already that is!), I would love a Mudcat badge and so would Rock Chick. We will be ariving Friday night about 9.30 ish after dropping our stuff off at the 3 Fiddles B&B. |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Davetnova Date: 12 Feb 04 - 04:56 AM How does a foriegner pronounce Guisborough/Guisbough if asking for directions and not wishing to offend locals? |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Linda Kelly Date: 12 Feb 04 - 04:14 AM sorry can't be there- Hazel and I have posted something for the raffle if there is one |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Bobjack Date: 12 Feb 04 - 03:31 AM leadfingers, We are coming as a gang of eight, and we insist on breakfast in bed please. smoked salmon and poached eggs at 9am sharp. |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: magician Date: 11 Feb 04 - 07:29 PM Well done Buddug hope that this is the start of a great new freindship for you. Love to see you there Gillie |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Leadfingers Date: 11 Feb 04 - 07:23 PM Just did a count of postings and there would seem to be twenty five catters who have said they are coming. Save me some bacon !!! |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Buddug Date: 11 Feb 04 - 05:04 PM Hi Tig, Badger, Firecat, Magician, Gilly, Snuffy and all other mudcats, 'cause I don;t know who other catters names are yet. This is my very first reply to a thread and I might be brave enough to try Mudchat later! What's more me and he-who-hasn't-got-a-mudcat-name-yet(I thought 'The Moth' might be appropriate?) will be there this weekend and I am sooooo looking forward to it! |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Mrs.Duck Date: 11 Feb 04 - 02:43 PM Thanks Clare - sounds like a great weekend. |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Gillie Date: 11 Feb 04 - 02:07 PM Food - Fri get your own fish & chips etc. Barbie on Sat night Breakfast cook bacon etc. please feel free to bring stuff to cook, if you want. Sunday survivors from about 12 noon Gillie |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Raggytash Date: 11 Feb 04 - 12:07 PM Tyke, Once again you fail to amaze me with your unerring ability to get things wrong, I shall not be in Runswick Bay on the event of the February Yorkshire Gathering, thus going to Guisborough does not mean you will manage to avoid me. For those who get confused by George's ramblings, Wombat and I are holding a gathering in Milnsbridge, Huddersfield on the 13th of March, one spin off of which, is to raise funds for the Runswick Bay Rescue Boat. Now I don't believe in thread hi-jacking so please see the relevant thread and George .............don't do that George |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: MoorleyMan Date: 11 Feb 04 - 11:33 AM Late change of plans here too, may not be able to make it across till Sunday after all. what time does the survivors' sess kick off - anyone know? |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Mrs.Duck Date: 11 Feb 04 - 11:18 AM Anybody worked out who is actually coming? Boilers packed up today so I had the day off and finished the cake! Geoff is working in Doncaster all week so we may be a bit later than planned on Friday as we will hit rush hour but still intend to be there early evening. What is the food situation locally? Not long now! |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Tig Date: 10 Feb 04 - 06:15 PM Two firkins of Sue Simpsons brand new recipe safely delivered today. Understand that as well as his excellent Cameron's Ruby Red there will be Norton Old Hookey as beer - as well as all the usual stuff. However I was given the sad news that the bars will be CLOSED for about half an hour from just before 2.30pm so Daff and Clare can get on jumping the broom!!! It should be a good weekend. |

Traditional when a spinster can propose to the men of there choice! Readwulf should you ever get to Whitby or Huddersfield you will find me easly recognisable by the badgers bottom protruding from my top lip :-} |

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Sweetfia Date: 09 Feb 04 - 10:44 AM This will be my first folkie weekend since Bev folk fes last year...and i'm so EXCITED!! yes, only four days to go now... |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Mrs.Duck Date: 09 Feb 04 - 07:32 AM Handfasting is also one of the rituals adopted by the early church from pre christian ceremonies and in many churches the priest or vicar will still wrap his stole around the hands of the couple and say 'those whom god has joined' etc. This has also given rise to the term tying the knot as a euphimism for marriage. In the days when not every village had a church travelling priests would call round every few months. Couples wishing to get married in the meantime would 'tie the knot' and then jump over a broom - hence the expression 'living over the brush' referring to couples living together but not married. It all sounds like a jolly good excuse for a great weekend - Valentine's day too you old romantics! Can't wait - see you around six hopefully on friday. Jane |

|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Catherine Jayne Date: 09 Feb 04 - 03:17 AM GUEST a Handfasting is a Pagan Wedding Ceremony where the hands are of the couple are tied symbolicaly before the God and the Goddess. The God and the Goddess are invited to give their blessing on the union which is either for a life time or because we believe in reincarnation for eturnity. The ceremony is normally conducted by a High Priest and a High Priestess where a circle is cast and the quaters (elements) are called. It is a very beautiful ceremony and the energy raised is amazing! |

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Raedwulf Date: 08 Feb 04 - 05:12 PM Tiggy, dear, you are not making yourself popular in this part of E.London! Tyke - if anyone should ever introduce us remind me to thump you one! ;) Excuses indeed, some of us simply can't make it, y'know. It may be an abomination, but it's not a crime. I, for one, shall be stuck in work & not at all happy about it, for more than two reasons. Have fun, I shall be moderately miserable wishing I was in furry parts... R P.S. I meant Yaaaarkshure, what the hell were the rest of you thinking about, eh? Filthy minded beggars... |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Tig Date: 08 Feb 04 - 04:34 PM Rumour has it that the guest ale for the weekend is called Handfasting Ale and is one from the Brown Cow Brewery (Sue Simpsons) Guess who are intending getting handfasted that weekend! |

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: GUEST,Mad in Hull Date: 07 Feb 04 - 02:20 PM where's the nearest train station? Is it ok to just come for the day (ie sat)? What time do things start on the saturday? would like to put in an appearance but depends on trains from end of earth! |

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: GUEST,ian@whitby Date: 06 Feb 04 - 06:36 PM Tyke, who all are the Whitby crew? Main reason I won't be there is my band is gigging at a Valentine's Ceilidh in Hawsker Village Hall. Free admission, so if you can't make it up as far as Guisborough you've another option. Faith Supper (bring summat to eat & drink). For fun not profit! Looks like we're all in for a good weekend - have fun all! |

Carol & Minn, your bedroom has been totally (T's & L's in the wrong place?) refurbished. Friday:- The Folk Club starts at 20:00 until we decide we have had enough. Saturday:- We still haven't finalized (spelling for our colonial freinds) but you can be assured that sessions and loonacy will prevail with a Barbie in the evening. Sunday:- Survivours sessions with our usual music quiz in the evening. Lokking forward to seeing you all Daff |

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Tyke Date: 05 Feb 04 - 03:19 PM Fliss help with training your dog is on tap at the Guisborough gathering Magician & Gillie have a cat that will ensure your dog sits quietly in a corner. There are no excuses for not being in North Yorkshire on the 14th of Feburary. Just because you think your boat is about to sink in soggy Shropshire is not a reson for you not to be in Sunny Guisborough. It is a good reason for you to be in Guisbough!If you want to drown! best do it in some good beer or send money and we will dive further into the barel for you singing your favorite song as we do so. Get a Train, Car, Bus or a plane the Airport is not that far away! |

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Tyke Date: 03 Feb 04 - 07:51 PM Come on what's with the excuses? Get you over to the Mudcat mini Gathering! Great Beer, Great Music, Wonderful Pub, Mudcater's are the Licences. Lend them your support you won't need it just prop yourselves up near the Bar. What is it with these information threads! Why the need to be negative! Look we are sympathetic! Honest! We understand! Your boat sank in the Pacific Ocean! Your Dog Died on the remote desert island and you had to eat it. If you are not rescued soon you will have to eat your socks as well. Save the lame excuses! Get a taxi! We do understand we will help! All you have to do is send money for beer a request for your song or tune and we will sing and or play it and drink the beer for you. It's not a problem. Let's us try and cheer you up! However bad you are feeling now about not being able to go. It's not a patch on how you will be feeling when we all tell you what a great weekend we all had. Cancel what ever it is and get there Feb the 14th is the date for a mini Mudcat gathering at the Watering Hole, in Guisborough. All are welcome, indoor camping spaces will be made available. Come sing, drink and be merry!! |

Having just pressed the wrong button I now know how it is done. Anyway the other love of my life..........Sheffield United F.C have been drawn at home in the F.A.Cup - good news - and will play Sunday - even better news. I'll shall therfore be at the gathering with the opportunity to make wise investments in carefully preserved pre-owned books relating to folk and folklore. I have just purchased a selection of material on Yorkshire so that will be the particular focus this weekend. Regards, Dave www.collectorsfolk.co.uk |

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: magician Date: 23 Jan 04 - 04:25 PM Update As Requested:- I had a double bypass 7 weeks ago. On Tuesday I saw the Consulant Surgeon who said that he dosen't want to see me again professionally. I opend the Pub last Friday and did three hours on the bar, on thursday I did the 6 till 8 evening shift and tonight the 5 till 7 shift. I've sent Clare to bed because she seems to be coming down with the 'flue that I am almost recovered from so am in charge tonight myself. I went out for a couple of hours by myself last night to the Abbey for a drink with Brian the landlord there. As long as I don't overdo things (which I have a tendancy to do) I am managing quite well. I get tired quite easily so am having to take things gently (no sniggering Tig). I will reply to all who have PMed or E-mailed over the weekend with confirmations. Looking forward to seeing you all at Valentines, Daffydd |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Nick Date: 23 Jan 04 - 02:47 PM I'll send you a PM if that's ok. Not to be coy but until it's definite that the pub can do it - and that depends on what is involved and expected - I'd hate to cause any embarrassment on any fronts. I'll send you a PM and if it's ok to talk on the phone I'll give you a number as it's easier than typing! |

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Mrs.Duck Date: 23 Jan 04 - 11:28 AM Nick, a mudcat gathering is limited only by the space available to accomodate everyone. You wouldn't be stepping on anyones toes by organising a weekend, the more the merrier and the gatherings don't always attract the same crowds as festivals. They are a way to get to know people so noone should feel that they will be left out. A lot of us do know eachother now but many met for the first time at a mudcat gathering. As to the format, that depends on the venue. There are usually music and singing sessions, lots of drinking and if there is room we have had ceilidhs - we even had some belly dancing at the first Yorkshire gathering! Where in N.Yorks are you? Let us know what you are planning so we can keep a space in the diaries. |
|
Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Nick Date: 23 Jan 04 - 10:22 AM Excuse a few naive questions but - 1)What is involved in a mudcat gathering? 2)Is it open to anyone? Do a lot of people tend to come? Are there sessions or performances or what? 3)Is it a 'closed' thing with everyone knowing everyone else or are new people made welcome and able to get involved? 4) For some time the landlord of our local pub where we play has been thinking of organising a music weekend sometime in the summer. Is it possible to start up a Mudcat gathering or is that treading on people's toes as we are in North Yorkshire too? Thanks |

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Tyke Date: 12 Jan 04 - 07:20 PM I went along with Aaardvark on Friday Night to the regular Folk Club at the Globe. What a great pint of Beer I though I did not like Cameron's!! All the very best to Daffydd and Gillie for a well-kept pub and a well-kept pint of beer if you are in the area call in. They deserve all the support and customers that they will get, of that I have no doubt. Good Folk Club that was well attended it was well worth the drive out from Whitby. The Folk Club was well attended with a resident group and plenty of floor singers. Aaardvark (Mick Haywood) informed me that there used to be a Club there many years ago and that Vin Garbut used to be a regular at the club. I can recommend Guisborough and the Globe for a visit and a great night. I shall definitely be there in February even if it is Friday the 13th!!!! There was also talk of St Patrick Night with the Blether men my advice get there early! Book a B & B and don't Drink and Drive! Cos. you will want to drink the Beer. Happy New Year from Tyke |

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering Yorkshire From: Tig Date: 12 Jan 04 - 05:22 PM The Mudcat Watering Hole is The Globe, Northgate, Guisborough, North Yorkshire (or Cleveland if you like!). Guisborough is about 5 miles from Saltburn or 23 from Whitby for those who have festivaled at either place. It's the pub Magician (Daffydd) and Gillie (Clare) run in that town. Real ale, no jukebox, friendly locals, good acoustics. As far as I know things will kick off Friday evening and run all weekend. The pub number is 01287 201157 if you want to give them a ring. |

Sorcha says she sometimes has difficulty in understanding me when we are on the phone..... |

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering From: manitas_at_work Date: 08 Jan 04 - 11:57 AM The Yorkshire accent isn't different from all else. An accent in Yorkshire is part of a continuum of accents within Yorkshire and within the English language. Much of the south-east of England has had the local accents flattened out by the presence of London and it's this variety of English you'll usually hear in the media and which is regarded as 'standard'. Yorkshire's just far enough away from London that the difference in accent is hard to understand if you are unused to it. The same goes for the West Country, Black Country, Lancashire etc. You just need to learn to appreciate the variety of English in the UK. |

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering From: Fortunato Date: 08 Jan 04 - 10:51 AM I can't come from 'Merrika for the event, wish I could, but out of sheer curiosity, why is the Yorkshire accent so different from all else? |

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering From: Midchuck Date: 08 Jan 04 - 09:32 AM Snuffy, I'm glad someone said that. I was in England in '01 and when we got to Yorkshire, I thought I was still in England - but what they were speaking didn't appear to be English. At least, the English in the rest of England, and even in Scotland, for that matter, sounded different from 'Murican, but I could understand it... Peter. |

Subject: RE: Feb Mudcat gathering From: alanww Date: 08 Jan 04 - 06:21 AM Mmmmmm! Sounds very interesting, Gillie! Will there be music sessions, as well as singing? (My partner plays mandolin but does not sing) Also, how about a map, a postcode or an address for all of us from down in the Midlands? "Come fill up your glasses and let us be merry ...!" Alan PS: If we can make it, we will be bringing our own campervan. Would there be off-road space for it? |
