Subject: From Iceland to Portaferry ...... From: skarpi Date: 12 Jan 05 - 03:55 PM Well all it´s only three weeks until we go to Portaferry from Iceland. We are getting ready playing Icelandic songs and get some food to bring along with the wine. It takes lot of time to go over all we need to take with us. We are gonna bring some Instruments with us such as Bodhrán,fiddle, guitar, does anyone who are coming have a pianoaccordian? that we coult get to use ? We are hoping that we can play somewhere along the portaferry ,does anyone know a plays that would take Icelandic folk band to play one night? I hope to tell the travel story on Mudcat all the way from Iceland to N-Ireland and back home . More later .All the best Skarpi Iceland. |

Subject: RE: From Iceland to Portaferry ...... From: mooman Date: 12 Jan 05 - 07:07 PM Dear Skarpi, I'm absolutely sure Greg (Skipjack K8) will be bringing his piano accordion with him. Why not PM him to see if you can have a lend of it? Regarding possible gig places nearby, Kate (Fibula Mattock) would probably be the best one to ask. As we Mudcatters will be filling Portaferry itself, perhaps one of the nearby towns or villages might be possible? I will be bringing a mandolin and guitar myself. Looking forward to meeting you! Peace moo |

Subject: RE: From Iceland to Portaferry ...... From: Fibula Mattock Date: 12 Jan 05 - 07:32 PM Hello skarpi - I'm really looking forward to this. Belfast might be a good place to get a gig. Don't worry - we have somewhere for you to play on the Saturday night in Portaferry! I'll see you, and moo, in 3 weeks! |

Subject: RE: From Iceland to Portaferry ...... From: GUEST Date: 13 Jan 05 - 04:41 PM We expect a full-length saga telling of many heroic deeds on the way. Any plans to bring home a couple of Irish slave girls as souvenirs for your mates? |

Subject: RE: From Iceland to Portaferry ...... From: Skipjack K8 Date: 13 Jan 05 - 05:12 PM Oh Skarpi, you are the limit! I wanted to bring the Steinway, but the last time they sawed all three legs off to fit it into First Class on the DC10. I suppose I'll just have to bring the 72 bass Guerrini instead. Looking forward to meeting you, mate! |

Subject: RE: From Iceland to Portaferry ...... From: skarpi Date: 13 Jan 05 - 05:36 PM Hmmmmmm a Irish Girl..... thats a good idea for me but not for my wife. I might ask about the Accordian. The saga about the stainway? the never ending story...hahahahaha wasent´s there an organ ? churchorgan ? Saga telling about what? Me getting an Irish girl hmmmmmmm a matter for a big book , me and women..........danger ahead. just a grin . I just hope that I can do my best to be an Icelander In a friendly foreign country, with a lot of good friends have a good time with doing the thing they almost love to do the most. All the best Skarpi Iceland. |

Subject: RE: From Iceland to Portaferry ...... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 13 Jan 05 - 06:00 PM We are getting ready playing Icelandic songs and get some food to bring along with the wine. Is that going to be the pickled rams testicles from the 'and I thought cheese and pickle were bad' thread? If so, I think you could probably leave them behind..... Really looking forward to meeting you at last. LTS |

Subject: RE: From Iceland to Portaferry ...... From: John MacKenzie Date: 14 Jan 05 - 03:46 PM Bi sexual doesn't mean you pay for it, although one usually ends up paying for it in another sense of the phrase. Giok Old cynic :~) |

Subject: RE: From Iceland to Portaferry ...... From: Fibula Mattock Date: 21 Jan 05 - 04:51 AM Skarpi - on Friday we will meet in the pub, probably Fiddlers Green (it's on the Square in Portaferry and is a very handy spot and a lovely place). 3pm or so is probably a good time to meet people, but I'lll check again to see what time everyone is arriving. I will wear my mudcat t-shirt or my mudcat badge so you know me. My real name is Kate (sometimes Katie) just in case you're trying to find me! On Friday evening we can find somewhere to play. Perhaps we can play in Fiddlers Green at the back of the pub in the Quarterdeck - I don't know yet, but I will ask. Fiddlers Green have their own music every night, and Frank, the owner sings and plays guitar, and people come to listen to him, so we should maybe find another spot, but we'll see! On Saturday we might have an afternoon session (there was a very nice one in McNamaras back room last year), and in the evening we will go to Dumigans and play there and you can feed us! |

Subject: RE: From Iceland to Portaferry ...... From: Kate Date: 24 Jan 05 - 03:48 PM Flights are booked and my dad and I are arriving on Friday after spending a night in Dublin. Now I've just got to book accomodation in Portaferry. Hoping I haven't left it too long. Any recommendations? Can't wait to see you all and hear some fantastic music as only Mudcatters can play! |

Subject: RE: From Iceland to Portaferry ...... From: GUEST,MudGuest ;-) Date: 25 Jan 05 - 06:28 AM Kate, good luck for your accommodation hunt. I don't know how much space is left in the cottage PeterK shares with me and his daughter - I don't know whether someone else is sharing already. Ask Peter ... cu soon, Andy/MudGuard |

Subject: RE: From Iceland to Portaferry ...... From: mooman Date: 25 Jan 05 - 10:35 AM Kate! Great to see you and your dad are coming along. You will not be disappointed! Barrow-on Humber video? (runs away hiding...!) Richard |

Subject: RE: From Iceland to Portaferry ...... From: Kate Date: 26 Jan 05 - 10:10 AM The lovely people at the tourist board sent me a list of places and I've managed to book a room at the Fiddlers Green. Staggering distance is always a bonus! I've still got the list if anyone is stuck for a place to stay. Really looking forward to Portaferry. I'm slaving away at an editing terminal at the mo. Hopefuly I'll have it done in time. That's the aim. x |
|
Subject: RE: From Iceland to Portaferry ...... From: mooman Date: 26 Jan 05 - 12:08 PM Dear Kate-that-is-Kate, Not to worry if you can't! Glad you got into the Fiddlers, you'll only have to stagger upstairs most of the time and 200 yards at most if we're sessioning elsewhere! Richard |
