At the moment teh fragrant one is trying to swap her fragrant duties so that she can be free on the Saturday. Watch this space (well not this space, obviously, but hopefully a space a bit lower than this one).

Great to hear, Richard. Hope to have another local violinist (as well as Donald) coming who is very good as well. There is a (small) chance that we might have some extra transport coming from your direction but I can confirm that nearer the time. May take a little strain off the fullest van in the world.

Hello Nick,

I am definitely planning on comming. I wouldn't miss it as the last one was extremely enjoyable! I'll do my best to persuade my friday night gang to come. The call themselves "Shifty Pig" so Heather and Hannah are " the Shifty Piglets".

Couple more coming from this end on the 3rd too so our numbers are building. Great to see that Nahro is coming back - if Richard comes we should have an excellent quartet of violins (unless there are more coming). Any chance that Richard can persuade his friends from Hessle who got such a good review from the other night to come?

All seems to be building up nicely. Look forward to seeing you when we see you next.

This is what you do for the future, Ted. One way to do it anyway -

1 Open Windows Media Player and choose 'Copy from CD'.

2 Save it somewhere you can find it (probably My Documents/My Music/Unknown Artist).

3 Open the folder up, highlight everything and copy to playlist.

4 Windows Media Player Copy to CD.

Make him a copy of the cd Ted if you are going to see him and he will get an idea of what it's like. By the way, on cd2 there is a lovely intro to one of Maggie's songs where people are being a little rowdy and Mick's booming voice comes in with a 'shut up you buggers' - and everyone shuts up pretty swift.

Shows what reasonable people we all are even when pissed.

Be nice to meet you if you come GS

It will be a rollocking weekend and no mistake GS! The layout of the pub and it's grounds are ideal for two days of song based mayhem.
                  You will also find that the locals up there are as quaint and weird as you south bank, marsh dwelling herberts

Ted, you actually played tracks from "Les Voix de Toillet" which was received very positively at Farlington and also in the international music press. Nikolaj Uranisamus's repertoire includes masterworks such as Telemann's Suite in A minor and concerto in E minor for recorder and transverse flute. My personal favourites from your good self was Bach's Second and Fourth Brandenburg Concerto, and Vivlaid's "La Nuttes". I feel sure Nick will have captured these master pieces for ever.

Wrong, Ted! You are playing solo on one. (And you contribute to a few others with varying degrees of sobriety depending on the hour...) If I remember you didn't actually play solo that much during the evening.

I did forget to turn it over every now and again (and couldn't get near it for a chunk of the evening when we got shifted out of the way) so I'm sure missed countless gems. Anyway you have your own cd from a previous visit!

It's just something to remember the evening by.

Certainly el Mick. I can sort that for tomorrow night. I had a quick wizz through the two CD's at dinnertime, and you will all be pleased to note that out of the 44 tracks, none of them are of me playing! Nick has expunged me from the records!
It sounds like we had a bloody good night though!

Yo dudes,
                              Nick recorded the FarTington session that took place on the 16th last, and yesterday at Monk's he kindly gave me a copy (not had chance to hear it yet) of it all on CD. So I will circulate it amongst you all, for a small fee!

To give a taste of what our recent gathering was like I have posted a couple of pictures to give you a flavour of things. A few people you may recognise.

As you'll see we were quite busy. Over the course of the evening there were something in the region of 30 people who performed either singly or together so there were few breaks between when we started at about 7.30 and when we finished at half past whatever. About 13 or 14 sang, the balance were instrumentalists.

About a third of those there from where I was sitting...

... and a few more of them ...

And there is still very minimal information as to where the pub is at Blacksmiths Arms, Farlington, North Yorkshire

Hope that is some use. About a dozen have confirmed that they are coming so far so we have quite a lot of room left. Hope to hear from a few others soon. Let us know if it is of interest or if you need more information.

There is plenty of space to park, room for campers to park and sleep overnight and limited space for tents (there were four last time). Let us know early if you do want to say.

The intention is to start Friday night c.8pm and go through till c.1am so that we survive the rest rather than stay up till 5am and paralyse livers.

Saturday lunch and BarBQ (if weather is half reasonable) and a more relaxed bit of playing and singing.

Saturday evening much as Friday.

There is food Friday and Saturday evenings which people who had it last time enjoyed I think (special spaghetti is my favourite). It's not mass catering so an idea of demand in advance would be helpful or the wait will be l-o-o-o-n-g. Still the beer is VERY cheap. And of the 700 pints gone through in the evening I would guess one or two were drank by the singers!

All those who came before and all who didn't are welcome to come to:

Blacksmiths Arms
Farlington
North Yorkshire
England

for the weekend of September 3 for a singaround - playing music - session - getting involved sort of thing. Nice pub in the middle of nowhere about 10 miles north of York.

For those of you who came before it will be much like the last one APART FROM if we are going to survive the whole weekend 5am is out for the first night!

We'll post a few pics of the last one to give you an idea soon.

There is limited camping but a big carpark.

More details soon - PM me if you want to know more but I'm sure we will post more here.

Suffice it to say that the last one was fun. Hopefully the next will be even better
