", 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!

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!

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

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?????

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?????????

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.

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. :-)

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...

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.

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!

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!!!!

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.
