Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Liam's Brother Date: 02 Jul 04 - 06:57 AM The Johnson Girls and Dan Milner & Bob Conroy will be arriving from NYC on July 23. Please stop by one of our spots and say hello. All the best, Dan |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: GUEST,MC Fat Date: 02 Jul 04 - 07:21 AM Be good to hear the Johnson Girl's and yourself again Dan. I have very fond memories of The Johnson Girls singing in the back garden of the Bowling Green pub on the last night a couple of years back. |

Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: nutty Date: 02 Jul 04 - 09:12 AM I'm very tempted to come to Warwick this year ... It's a great line up. But I could do what I usually do .....go to the Durham Folk Party .. It's closer (no long journeys) cheaper and lots of fun (very informal). I guess I'll have to wait for the weather forecast then make my decision. |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Linda Kelly Date: 02 Jul 04 - 09:35 AM But Nutty-we need you at Warwick!!!!!!!!!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Tig Date: 02 Jul 04 - 10:05 AM We'll have the stall in the bar as per usual - open during opening hours. There will be a Mudcat sheet there for anyone wishing to sign in. We got a rare crop of signatures last year. I agree it's a good line up this year, but you would expect that for a 25th anniversary, theyv'e had some practise! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 02 Jul 04 - 10:23 AM I'll be there with White Tiger - in fact arriving on Thursday night by special permission, as we will be seeing Macbeth at Stratford earlier that evening. So if you had the whole field to choose from, where would you pitch your tent? |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: nutty Date: 02 Jul 04 - 10:56 AM Pitch where you can get some shade .... unless you like sleeping in an oven. If its hot at Warwick the middle of the field can be unbearable. |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Mrs.Duck Date: 02 Jul 04 - 12:38 PM Please would someone inform Barnsley and Wakefield MBC that school holidays are supposed to start BEFORE Warwick so we don't have to pack up kids and return on Sunday night!! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 02 Jul 04 - 05:54 PM I don't think you'd go to jail if that was the only day you kept them out of school this term. |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Folkiedave Date: 02 Jul 04 - 07:11 PM I shall be going with Sheffield City Morris. Catch us on the streets somewhere. Anyone looking to save money can take a look at the website, order the books by email and get them delivered. Best regards, Dave www.collectorsfolk.co.uk |

Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Red and White Rabbit Date: 03 Jul 04 - 03:35 AM hope to be there with at least one sproglett possibly three! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Tig Date: 03 Jul 04 - 11:26 AM It's MRS DUCK who has to go to school - not the ducklings! I think they would notice if she was missing. |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Nigel Parsons Date: 03 Jul 04 - 06:06 PM Linda Kelly: Was the reference in your first post to "The Bear tent" a deliberate pun on the badge of Warwickshire? Badge Nigel |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Nigel Parsons Date: 03 Jul 04 - 06:08 PM For those needing more info Warwick Folk Festival Nigel |

Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Mr Red Date: 04 Jul 04 - 04:20 AM I may well be there very early - my current contract closes in a week and I am due a rest. |

|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Linda Kelly Date: 04 Jul 04 - 04:55 PM Nigel -I am not that intelligent to make the link although since I am from Coventry I should have remmebered the bear and ragged staff. Actually it was more Kingston upon Hulleese. (See John from Hull and endless threads) Sems a really good line up this year and I beleive Loose Chippings are back - hoorah! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Nigel Parsons Date: 04 Jul 04 - 08:11 PM Linda: S'Okay, I wasn't getting at you. Those who've met me at Miskin may tell you I'm inoffensive. But... maybe with a big version of the badge it should be "The Bear Tent" CHEERS Nigel |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Nigel Parsons Date: 04 Jul 04 - 08:32 PM E-mail sent suggesting the possible name for the beer tent! Nigel |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: White tiger Date: 10 Jul 04 - 05:48 PM Hi everyone. Me and my dad (Peter K, Fionn) are going to be at Warwick this year as usual and I already recognise some of the Mudcat names of the people that I saw last year. |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Herga Kitty Date: 11 Jul 04 - 11:26 AM I hope I can manage a day trip on Saturday 24 July.... Kitty |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Noreen Date: 11 Jul 04 - 01:55 PM Hi Kitty- hope to actually speak to you at Warwick rather than just see you watching us perform! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: MikeofNorthumbria Date: 12 Jul 04 - 07:40 AM Barring unforseen disasters I'll be there, dancing with Hexham Morris Men. Beware of elderly hooligans in grey top hats, white trousers and shirts, blue waistcoats and baldricks - probably dancing Cotswold, though if the moon is full we might do a spot of Border as well( in which case, watch out for blue tatter-coats and black bowlers). Wassail! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: brid widder Date: 12 Jul 04 - 04:55 PM I REALLY hope so!! |

Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Linda Kelly Date: 20 Jul 04 - 04:35 AM Have just found out that I need to be back in Hull for Monday morning, so I have to leave on Sunday -don't suppose anyone is travelling back to Hull or East Yorkshire on Sunday at all? I won't have any gear as this is coming back with the others on Monday -pretty please!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: GUEST,Hannah S Date: 20 Jul 04 - 04:59 AM Hi Linda, I'll be travelling back to Beverley on Sunday evening from Warwick Festival - you're welcome to a lift if you'd like one Cheers, Hannah S |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Linda Kelly Date: 20 Jul 04 - 07:03 AM Hannah I love you!!!!!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Singing Referee Date: 20 Jul 04 - 08:41 AM Guru, so glad you'll be there! I'm a "Festival virgin" so I'll be relying on the likes of yourself and Moses to show me the ropes. I'll look out for you. No hiding please! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Mrs.Duck Date: 20 Jul 04 - 12:40 PM Are you doing a bondage workshop then Hilary? |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: My guru always said Date: 20 Jul 04 - 01:25 PM LOL!! Chance would be a fine thing Jane, mind you, it's a thought.... Ref: PM me with mobile number for party invites etc. I remember being a Festival Virgin too, these Folks are good at hand-holding the late developers! You'll have a whale of a time!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: GUEST,skipy Date: 20 Jul 04 - 04:18 PM We have not missed one in 19 years & the kids kown how old they are by how many "Warwicks" they have been to! Warwick shares top place for us with Chippenham. Need I say more? Regards Skipy - But you won't see a Mudcat badge with "Skipy" on it, there is a reason that? |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Mr Red Date: 20 Jul 04 - 05:24 PM SinginfReferee I won't be hiding and could give you a red card............ |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: My guru always said Date: 20 Jul 04 - 05:39 PM Perhaps a Mudcat Badge with 'GUEST,skipy' on it? |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Linda Kelly Date: 20 Jul 04 - 05:39 PM hate to say this guys-but I've got bendy balloons...... |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: GUEST,skipy Date: 20 Jul 04 - 05:39 PM you know why my badge will say "guest" Mr Red! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Tig Date: 20 Jul 04 - 05:53 PM I'm not bothered who has Mudbadges or who doesn't - but anyone being hopeful had better PM me by Thursday morning or they won't have a printed one brought for them. I might have some "blanks" for hand written names though. |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Moses Date: 21 Jul 04 - 10:37 AM I think this will be my 11th - so I'm a relative "newbie". Got my new voice at Warwick a couple of years ago courtesy of a workshop run by Dave & Annie. "Pale pink" no longer! Never too old to learn! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Mrs.Duck Date: 21 Jul 04 - 11:52 AM Its your age Linda!! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Herga Kitty Date: 21 Jul 04 - 02:16 PM Well, I don't have to make time at the weekend to visit my mum any more, so (if I'm safe to drive) I'm definitely planning a day trip to Warwick on Saturday. Every cloud has.... Kitty |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: nutty Date: 21 Jul 04 - 03:52 PM Definitely won't make Warwick. Have fun all of you. I'll have to console myself with the Durham Folk Party... much closer and a lot cheaper. |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Fliss Date: 21 Jul 04 - 04:29 PM Thats a thought Tig, you can give me my badge rather than posting it! Good point about roasting in the middle of the field.... I did 2 years ago. Must remember the sun block and swimming cossi. Looking forward to listening to John Tamms see ya fliss xx |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Folkiedave Date: 21 Jul 04 - 06:09 PM I forgot to mention - that is me on the "HOME" page. The little guy. Dave www.collectorsfolk.co.uk |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Mr Red Date: 21 Jul 04 - 06:10 PM GUEST,skipy Should it say "guessed"? - here, have you bin banned? |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Mr Red Date: 21 Jul 04 - 06:16 PM Peter K pitch? they have marked a special area just for newbies they even have the tapes up on sticks. Step over the tape and stick yer pole where the stumps would be. The grounsman will welcome you in the morning. Er maybe you won;t get this post till you've come home. Oh well, I tried. |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 21 Jul 04 - 06:49 PM Fliss, right now the weather seems to be shaping up for a repeat of last year, rather than the year before.... All the same, I might take Nutty's advice and head for some shade, just in case the sun comes out. |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: GUEST,skipy Date: 21 Jul 04 - 08:01 PM tig, if you read this please print me one with:- "Guest - Skipy" will collect fri night or sat morn. Regards Skipy |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: GUEST,gillie Date: 21 Jul 04 - 11:56 PM I should be heading that way on Friday. Countdown starting - One more day to go!! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: My guru always said Date: 22 Jul 04 - 06:20 AM Oh Skipy - if you'd have hung on I'd have organised it behind your back & pinned it on you over the weekend!!! You'd have saved the massive sum of 50p :-) |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Schantieman Date: 22 Jul 04 - 12:39 PM Looking forward to seeing you all there. Ms Lemon & I will be trying out a new tent. Buy lots of lemonade! Steve |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: brid widder Date: 22 Jul 04 - 02:06 PM sadly not this year:-( |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: the lemonade lady Date: 22 Jul 04 - 04:29 PM I do hope Schantie arrives by lunch time tomorrow cos I don't think I can put up this master piece on my own and sell lemonade to the thirsty stewards in the heat! I do hope we get some heat. This year I won't be camping near the generators, and if they sneak up when I'm not looking I have a sledge hammer and I'm not affraid to use it!!! Actually, I have been told personally by Dick that silent generators only are allowed and there is a plug-in facility for those who need it. The (spell check please?) cockophany, cockofanny (no I don't think so!) noise should be kept to a minimum this year. 8-) Sal |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Cllr Date: 23 Jul 04 - 05:01 AM Just packing and about to leave Yippee Def:cockofanny Is that the noise made on a campsite when peolple think their tent is more soundproof than is feasibly possible.? |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: brid widder Date: 26 Jul 04 - 04:46 PM well? |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Mrs.Duck Date: 26 Jul 04 - 05:14 PM Left Warwick at 5.45 this morning and got homeat 5pm but did do a day at school on route! Absolutely brilliant festival - highlights were many but won't forget John Morris leading the singing of Sammys Bar in the ladies toilet!! And of course our Rowan did get the prize for best toe sucking in the last night concert!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Linda Kelly Date: 26 Jul 04 - 05:14 PM absolutely wonderful despite the 11 hour journey down!! Some of the best singing I've heard in a long time-late night Saturday was incredible. Loved performances by Mrs Lemon, Cllr and many others -can't wait to get back. |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Menolly Date: 26 Jul 04 - 05:54 PM John in the ladies toilets! Well, can't say I am surprised! but I wish I had been there. Great festival, had a festival virgin with me - daughter's boyfriend. He was surprised to find folk music soo political! How many are there out there who have the wrong assumptions abotu folk music and where it comes from! Not just wenching, lusting, plowing and sowing! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Geoff the Duck Date: 26 Jul 04 - 06:32 PM Hey - what about the BEER -you can't leave that out of a list of folk singing... Quack! GtD. |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Folkiedave Date: 26 Jul 04 - 07:31 PM I know I speak on behalf of Sheffield City Morris - great weekend. Wipes brow at weather and traffic coming down M1 5 hours from Sheffield was the record!! Best regards, folkiedave www.collectorsfolk.co.uk |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Latecomer Date: 26 Jul 04 - 08:00 PM Good evening one and all. As a late and maybe transient interloper into the world of folk I have to express admiration for a festival that combines Peter Ustinov and MC Fat in one night. Never mind the side shows, get them in the marquee Dick. I am also haunted by the vocal talent of two young ladies and their emotive rendering of Caledonian. Thank you for a memorable and pleasant weekend. |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: MC Fat Date: 27 Jul 04 - 04:20 AM Was Peter Ustinov there ? Great time nice sesh when I was off duty at Punchbowl and its was Linda kelly and Pistachio doing Caledonia methinks !! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: GUEST,Noreen at work Date: 27 Jul 04 - 06:22 AM Wonderful as ever! Warwick is such a friendly festival, I'd recommend it to anybody. Great ceilis, singing, dancing, workshops, swimming, paper planes and bendy balloons. Oh, and the BEER, Geoff! Wish I was still there... |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: GUEST,kab Date: 27 Jul 04 - 06:47 AM once again Warwick was wonderful and for me too the highest point of many were the marvellous harmonies of Linda and is it Rachel from Hull. well sung get out there and marketyour very talented selves please. |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: MC Fat Date: 27 Jul 04 - 07:04 AM It's hazel from Hull (via Scotland and t'other places) and you're right they should market their talents cos they are both bloody wonderfull |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Gillie Date: 27 Jul 04 - 07:37 AM Great weekend. I had a really lazy weekend, going as a punter instead of a steward (strange feeling of wanting to steward!!) Batteries have been recharged and am now back at The Watering Hole after a journey starting at10.50 a.m. arriving home at 6.00 p.m. High lights for me were Heckety (ceildh band) Back of the Moon (celtic band), Keith Donnelly (a real giggle), The Doonan Family (wwoh) topped off by the brilliant finale with Loose Chippings. The atmosphere was electric. Many thanks to all my friends, some of whom I had not seen for about 2 years. I enjoyed their comardory and companionship. Special thanks to Beeswax, who supplied me with a tent, kip mat and also kept me topped up with food. Brill. :-) Gillie |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Les from Hull Date: 27 Jul 04 - 03:11 PM Perhaps new fans of Linda and Hazel should click 'ere |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Pistachio Date: 27 Jul 04 - 04:53 PM Warwick was wonderful - even with the visit to the M1 car park and the visit from the RAC on the way there!! I had a hugely huggable time and met more 'friends I didn't yet know'. Thanks to John Wright and Johnathan in the Warwick arms ( and Zetland) for letting me sing along...to Moses for kind words and the man who sang the Bee Gees 'New York mining disaster'. To the 'School' itself for ALL the accoustic venues , particularly the ladies loo and John Morris! Too much to say, Wow it was simply a very happy weekend. Thanks for your comments Guest kab!. See you next year? Hazel. |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Latecomer Date: 27 Jul 04 - 08:21 PM Hi Linda and Pistachio. Had I realised the extent of your talents I would gladly have paid more towards the asking price for the CD. As it is I fear my copy may soon be worn out. How can I get replacements and updates? Do we have to wait til next year or is there another venue to hear your talents. In other news,of course Ustinov was there. Did no one else see or hear him????????? |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Les from Hull Date: 28 Jul 04 - 08:57 AM here's their website |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Tig Date: 28 Jul 04 - 01:27 PM Dug the signing sheet out from under the rest of the badge stuff today. There were 38 who admitted to being there plus a handful I knew about who never signed up. Not bad for a festival! Now where next????? |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Fliss Date: 28 Jul 04 - 05:48 PM Warwick was great. Enjoyed meeting lots of friends and putting faces to names. Could sit and listen to Last Nights Fun forever... provided someone else gets Dennys guitar in tune for him... thought I was bad enough at tuning. Missed John Tamms... chatting to friends and not checking from time to time.... aaaggghh. My Irish friend survived her first taste of a folk festival. She thought we were so reserved... until Loose Chippings came on! Loved the carribean food as usual I gravitated back each mealtime. Got to sing in the sat night singalong. Agree some great singers and songs. Loved Mrs Lemons duet. And Ive got my mudcat badge.. when I can remember which t shirt its on. Didnt want to go home... my next big event is the All Ireland Fleadh in Clonmel at the end of August, great craic. Then its Jackfield Festival 1st weekend in Sept. cheers me dears fliss |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: Linda Kelly Date: 29 Jul 04 - 04:57 PM Latecomer, glad you liked the CD. We don't do gigs due to family commitments, which is the diplomatic way of saying no-one asks us. However, we can nearly always be found at Hull Shanty Festival the weekend of 21st August, and I will try to persuade Hazel to fit in some others if we can. Talking of CD's get Pete Morton's new one Swarthmoor its a classic. By the way, Hazel and I are bemused at your identity, but apologise now if we waylaid you in our drunken state on Saturday! |
|
Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: GUEST,Latecomer Date: 30 Jul 04 - 07:22 AM I am sure Fiona will remind you. Unfortunately will be in York that weekend. R |

Subject: RE: Warwick Festival anyone? From: running.hare Date: 30 Jul 04 - 02:38 PM ", I have been told personally by Dick that silent generators only are allowed " The 1 outside the beertent wasn't so silent when I turned in at 2am, but strangely enough after a long day & a longer term I slept like a log, despite being only 100 yards away. Possibly had something to do with Cllr's Port! "Well It looks like Lizabee" & now I have a badge to prove it! A great feastival Cheers all. P.S. Never argue with a steel guitar - it wll always come off better! |
