I think there is a strong possibility that MCP and I will be there. Can I book a camper space in case?

We have a dog now, Gillie. Is it OK to bring him? He's well behaved and small - well, he's small anyway! lol

bobjack, Even if I can'nt make it, you still have to keep your date & meet the one and only geogous Bev (Bev'Barton) & el ted. Not to mention to see your Sweetfia. Incidentley "Big T" wiffee was asking after you, she wanted to know if you had come across her favourite pink knickers, as she wants to go mountain climing again. Roll on spring & summer, the Raleigh shopper gangs gona be about.

Will all those who are definately wanting to come please PM us or E-mail us [e-mail]

Kick off Friday night with the Folk Club, "Songs Of Romance and Unrequited Love", followed by lunacy on Saturday with a Bar-B-Q in the evening, with a chillout session on the Sunday afternoon.

There will be room in the yard for only half a dozen campers (not palaces on wheels) because we need to put up a gazeebo for Saturday afternoon and evening.

Looking forward to seeing you all.

Good point Liz the Squeak. I would have turned up looking for a Pub called The Mudcat Watering Hole. And I would not have found it.Ps is there going to be enough room for everyone to camp,or do we have to book a B and B?

Hope you all have a finetime! I like the mild winter weather in England...
Wish I could come. I had hoped to come aross the pond in January but alas, not this year.

I will definitely be in England again this coming August, for as long as I can, maybe even doing my long-awaited Ridgeway walk...

"Songs Of Romance and Unrequited Love" magician well it is Friday the 13th. But things should be looking up on the Saturday, St Valantines Day, so Lunacy seems about right. Is it a Full Moon or is that just "Big T" wiffee looking for her Pink knickers? :-)

Hiya Magician & Gillie
I am sorry that I cannot now make this - an inescapable birthday party has popped up its head!
Have fun everyone!
And I am really into songs of unrequited love too ... boo hoo!
"She flung out her arms and she gave a great leap ...!"

PS However, I will certainly look up the Globe if I am in your area - and I will bring my voice and concertina!

Looks like we can only make it if small people can come. If we could fit our caravan round the back they could go to bed early! We really want to be there but at present couldn't guarentee anyone to take care of them what with poorly legs and work shifts. What do you reckon?

Guest Guest, by all acounts op went well and Daff is well on the mend.

Just to confirm, Rock Chick and I are definates now. Could someone pm me with the name of that B&B that was given to me in the Chatroom a couple of weeks ago and I have now lost? Think it was in a near by pub? Also willing to lend a hand behind the Bar for a while to give breaks and let others join in the music etc.

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

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.

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!

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

The last time I was up your way was back in the bad old days when an old friend had The Blackwell Ox in Carlton in Cleveland . So far no body seems to be offering work that week end so I hope I will be there Friday afternoon.

I always wondered why there were sometimes messages without anything in them. 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.

I was in Guisborough last wednesday afternoon, so I thought I would track down The Globe and have a quick pint or six, but it was shut. Bugger! Mind you, I did have a nosy through the window and saw a huge karaoke machine in one corner of the smoke room so we should be sorted.

I assure you that the large carrotlowkey is only used for the music quiz held in there on a Sunday night!!!!!

The questions asked are so obscure they drive me to drink.

Fret not attendees - you will NOT be made to use it!

Many regrets, but we will not be able to make it either. Due to this little operation I've just had, we can't do something this weekend and the Mudcat weekend is the only time we can rearrange it for.

Have a lovely time and sing one for me.

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!!
