Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: Richard Bridge Date: 27 Jun 04 - 08:21 PM We want the pix! There are those who deserve to be embarrassed (me included)! Although, to be sure, I did not take my top off and dance around the campfire showing off my pierced nipple (of which I have neither one nor two). I also recollect seeing minidisk recorders on the friday night, a cruel thing with which to entrap amateur singers!! |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: Richard Bridge Date: 26 Jun 04 - 02:47 AM Where are the blackmail pix? |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: GUEST,Captain Careless Date: 25 Jun 04 - 05:48 PM Hmm, clashes with Walton |

Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: GUEST,Posh Bloke Date: 23 Jun 04 - 05:07 AM The hotel was excellent -lovely steak 'n ale pie. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: GUEST,DK Date: 23 Jun 04 - 05:05 AM Another in September -I will give the exact date soon. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: Richard Bridge Date: 21 Jun 04 - 02:56 PM I think they are first Fridays. I'll go and find the thread and refresh it. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: The Barden of England Date: 21 Jun 04 - 02:41 PM When is the next session ath the Good Intent Richard? - missed the last one as I was booked to do the Pigs Ear weekend at Markbeech. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: Richard Bridge Date: 21 Jun 04 - 02:07 PM I arrived about one-ish, no sign of anyone, so I went home... Mind you I was more than a bit overhung. Sarah the Flute wants to know if you're going to the next Rochester session at the GOod Intent. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: Dave Bryant Date: 21 Jun 04 - 10:49 AM The Saturday night session was rather good this year, but it was bloody cold for the middle of June - at least it kept the beer cool ! It was a pity that more performers didn't make it to "The Tally Ho" at Sunday lunchtime - I ended up doing almost a solo spot. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: GUEST,Captain Careless lost his cookie Date: 20 Jun 04 - 01:46 PM What a splendid event it was! My only regrets are that I could not make it earlier than I did, and the state of my head! The bitter was nice Dave, and perhaps I should have stuck to it. The fruit punch was excellent Dipsodeb, and lethal. Just the right number of people, so you could hear everyone sing, but more than enough to provide critical mass. Hardly anyone who would not observe the etiquette of "the stick". But there are people like that in every walk of life. Is there an autumn one and when? Tell me when the June one is next year and I'll diarise it right now - and diarise to bring the chainsaw for timber too. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: Dave Bryant Date: 18 Jun 04 - 09:14 AM Might not make it tonight - I've promised Sue Tuckey (Friday Girl) that I'd go to her Music Hall night at the Opington Liberal Club. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: Richard Bridge Date: 18 Jun 04 - 06:37 AM The expression you are looking for is "99-change hands". See you in about 4 hours time... |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: Dave Bryant Date: 18 Jun 04 - 04:39 AM Ignore my previous posting, Tom's Dad left it too late to confirm his flight and therefore isn't going off this weekend after all - it would have been nice if he could have let us know on Wednesday night, before we started changing our plans ! Beer and caravan are both down at Knockholt. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: Richard Bridge Date: 17 Jun 04 - 06:11 PM Kennels, like my dogs? Actually my dogsitter arrives tomorrow so I will be there about 4 or 5. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: Dave Bryant Date: 17 Jun 04 - 11:36 AM Linda and I have a problem with getting to Knockholt together this year. Linda's son Tom was supposed to be staying with his Dad on Saturday, but his Dad has just booked a last-minute holiday in the Canaries. Yes - we did ask Tom if he'd like to come with us, but if I quoted his answer verbatim, the Joeclones would probably delete this posting - suffice it that the answer was very definitely in the negative. I will be bringing the beer down tonight, and possibly the caravan as well, but Linda & I will probably have to take turns to be there - I think it will be Linda's turn to be around on Saturday Night. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: GUEST,Kenneth Ingham Date: 15 Jun 04 - 07:05 PM I've been packing my stuff since last october! - nearly ready ... Just a few more vintage sausages to squeeze into Phellpsie's cab. See you all down the Tally Ho Friday - drinks are on me (only until 10.30pm) Ride On!!! |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: Dave Bryant Date: 15 Jun 04 - 10:35 AM I'll bring the flymo ! |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: woodsie Date: 15 Jun 04 - 10:15 AM I have not been scalped-yet! |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: GUEST,jupiter Date: 15 Jun 04 - 10:12 AM Well,DK & Colin may be there and of course Pat Mooney also I hear Woodsie has been scalped, so we can shine a torch on their bald bonces as they dance around the campfire at night and imagine extraplanetary sattelites in orbit! |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: Dave Bryant Date: 15 Jun 04 - 10:00 AM Are you bringing all your moons with you as well ? |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: GUEST,jupiter Date: 15 Jun 04 - 09:32 AM Can't wait! |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: Dipsodeb Date: 15 Jun 04 - 07:32 AM I should think that it's the one thing we can guarantee. Just brought the ingredients for the knockholt Knockout punch and Hubble Bubble lots of trouble what a brew I'll mix for you. Actually I thought we might mix countries of origin too, we have Mohitas from Cuba and Tequila Slammers from Mexico the punch of course is traditonally South East London. I hope we find just the right tunes to compliment the Bar. Yep it's going to be another Saturday Night that might just dim into the ether..... LOL ~Debs~ |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: Dave Bryant Date: 15 Jun 04 - 04:59 AM Dave K - the way that you traditionally end up on the Saturday night / Sunday Morning - it's not just the stars that are turning round - it's the field, the tents, the caravans, the camp fire . . . . . |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: GUEST,Dave K Date: 14 Jun 04 - 07:28 PM Not worth staying in a hotel - It is more exciting watching the stars turn around the sky - Take up Dave and Linda's offer and stay in the field. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: Dave Bryant Date: 14 Jun 04 - 12:23 PM The whole idea of Knockholt is that it's in the country. You could probably find a hotel at Sevenoaks, or a Pub with accommodation, but why not come and camp with the rest of us - Linda & I have a couple of spare tents which we could lend, and I thought that every "folkie" owned a sleeping bag. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: GUEST,Rod Stone Date: 14 Jun 04 - 10:15 AM Sounds great is there a hotel nearby? |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: Dave Bryant Date: 14 Jun 04 - 04:39 AM Richard, I don't think it was your upper lip that was stiff at last year's do - from what Dilligaf had to say ! |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: Richard Bridge Date: 14 Jun 04 - 03:06 AM Now you know it's hard to sing with a stiff upper lip! |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: GUEST,Dave K Date: 13 Jun 04 - 06:48 PM Please bring along a tuner - just in case! |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: GUEST,Posh Bloke Date: 13 Jun 04 - 06:24 PM I've heard about you... I think, are yoe the same Dave K. that's world famous in Eltham? |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: GUEST,Dave K Date: 13 Jun 04 - 11:47 AM Please come along and find out. Posh Bloke we look forward to meeting you. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: GUEST,Posh Bloke Date: 13 Jun 04 - 08:51 AM Do you lot sing in tune? |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: woodsie Date: 12 Jun 04 - 01:49 PM refresh |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: woodsie Date: 12 Jun 04 - 01:48 AM Get your stuff ready only 4 days to go! Guest band on the Saturday will be "Walking The Witch" |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: GUEST,Dave K Date: 08 Jun 04 - 05:55 PM Excellent Dave. We shall have the Saturday free shared bar as usual for as long as it lasts - so any contributions from elsewhere (ie, that wine we won in the raffle and will never drink will be appreciated). The good thing about Knockholt is that it never changes - peaceful surroundings - a real decent pub five minutes walk away (or 3 if you rush)- a real chance to get away from it all. I said it would be great weather etc last year and the photo of Saturday night shows what a great time we had.I am sure that it will be repeated in a couple of weeks. How about a singing workshop this year - or a short talk on the history of folk music in the area. PS thanks for a great day on Sunday.I have just put some photo's on my pages - does bring back memories!!. |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: Dave Bryant Date: 08 Jun 04 - 07:17 AM I should be bringing three and a half gallons of homebrew - named "Knockers" from the remains of the beer from Sunday's barbecue - I did think of calling it "Fuzz". |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: GUEST,mexican Date: 07 Jun 04 - 10:23 AM @Ello Gringoes! - Ihopetosee you all at knockholt this year. Ihope the weather is as good as it was last year. Bring out the Tech - E lar. |

Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: GUEST Date: 30 May 04 - 04:43 PM Dave does what? |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: Dipsodeb Date: 25 May 04 - 06:52 PM There is no seperate committee for Knockholt Dave we organise it between the members of the Folk Mob Committee. I usually organise the entertainment stuff/Bar and wood, Mick and Sue organise the loos and the field and Richard organises the money and Dave oversees in general. ~Debs~ |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: Dave Bryant Date: 25 May 04 - 05:10 AM Incidently, is there a committee for Knockholt these days - and if so, who's on it ? BTW - Linda and I are hoping to bring Vikki (Yorkshire Yankee) to the Tudor Barn tomorrow night - who's planning to be there ? |
Subject: RE: Knockholt 2004 From: Dave Bryant Date: 24 May 04 - 05:08 AM Paul and Pam Button have had a word with the farmer about the use of PA. He has no objections at all, provided we don't use such a great amount of power that we upset the people in the house over the road. The rig that I was suggesting is only 30w per channel (most car sound systems produce more power), so I don't think that there would be the slightest danger of that. What I am suggesting is not so much PA, as sound reinforcement for anyone who wants to use it. I'd only use a couple of radio mics which could either be hand held or on a stand. At the autumn event last, it made it possible to hear performers who otherwise would have been inaudible in spite of the fact that the background noise level was considerably lower than the better attended June event. |
