thanks to everyone who supported and/or performed at the folk club sessions in the Endeavour....the craic as always was great....let's hope that whoever takes over from John and Rose will be able to maintain this.....as always Dan McKinnon did a great set.....Flossie showed that as well as a great voice she also has an expansive personality.......and CrossCurrent showed they are a force to be reckoned with...who says folk music is dying?!
thanks again
Geoff

Did anyone go in The Plough this weekend... when we passed it was empty... What a shame!!! We used the Friendship Rowing Club as a venue during the festival. They have a great back bar and a brill beer garden over looking the river... A folk week must for sessions...

"Give us an idea of who you would like to see there"

Is this for the main headliners or acts on the fringe within sessions etc?

Thanks old git I'v always wanted to write that, as thats my nickname at work, but they won't let me sign my letters with it,   If you are interested in new acts try "shifty pig" we are showcasing them on the fringe at Beverley this year They play Irish Scottish and border tunes, and remind me of "The Famous Five" In the way they put their music together. Cheers Oombanjo.

It was great to see everyone again - thanks Glen and Co for a great festival - hope you'll get to Sheffield Festival again this year! ( sorry thread creep is a terrible disease!)
Sorry the shower block became the latest venue for celebrity wrestling but hopefully the person concerned has apologised to Glen and his team as well as on Mudcat.

Old Git - next time dont put Flossie on before I get there you rat - I was there well before 2.50!
Lady A - stirling job in the kitchen and in the Tap and probably everywhere else. Glad to see you found time for your groupie work!
Raggy can you PM me the list of names to go with the lifeboat song I hear it went down really well when you sang it at Runswick Bay. Les can you send me the Wilberforce motto for my song challenge - dont think it will be in 5/7 time though!

Once again it was great to see everyone - especially Big D. in daddy mode with buckets, spades and plastic grabbing hands in the Endeavour on Sunday - can you play the wild rover on them too?

Once again it was a great festival

Just got back from Whitby.
Enjoyed the festival very much. Thanks Glen and co for putting on a lovely weekend.
My favourite acts and in no particular order were :-

Antony John Clarke & (Forgotten the ladies name - sorry)- A sharp/witty/cool/great song dude. Look forward to seeing them at Gainsborough later in the year.

Real Time - saw them twice - they were great - beautiful fiddle player.

Flossie - what an act - witty and lovely singing - my wife and childrens favourite.

Duncan Mcfarlane Band - well what can I say - Having seen Duncan on his own at my folkclub - (a very pleasant and nice artist) I was in for a big shock. The energy enthused by Duncan and his band was just amazing. Not sure if I would classify them as Folk Rock or Rock Folk. Whatever, I thoroughly enjoyed their act. They are well worth seeing if they are in your area. Where does Duncan get his energy from?

The Ceilidh was a great success and the Appalachian Dancers were very good and Pig Dyke Molly were brilliant and a great success from my family's point of view.

Barring unforseen circumstances, I hope to be there next year.

Wish I was up there tonight (Friday) to see Jez Lowe and the bad pennies at one of the hotels in whitby.

I've yet to see Duncan and his band, but they're coming to Sidmouth so won't have to wait too long now!

I've got their 'Woodshed Boys' CD. Brilliant!!
Love their version of Nic Jones' 'Canadee-i-o' Then there's 'Bring 'em down', 'Woodshed Boys' and 'Can't Go There' as well....I'm on a roll now....just put the CD on and fast forwarded it to 'The Twohey Step' another of my favourites and my feet are off!

I'd describe them as 'Fantastic Folk Electric.'

How about that then Les?

Can't stop a minute longer....have to go and dance wildly now! ;0)

You will certainly enjoy seeing them live Lizzie.

How about Fantastic Electric Rock folk

in short

FERK

There you go a new type of music.

Come and do the FERK with Duncan and the band :-)

Hmmmmm....Les..The FERF. I like the sound of that! ;0) This could be bigger than The Macarina.....do you remember that one?

I think this could catch on as the 'new dance thing' at Sidmouth this year. We'll get all those Morris Boysies and Girlies dancing 'The Twohey Step' down on The Esplanade....they'll be able to hear it from The Ham marquee as it's right next to the sea. I reckon Duncan and his band will get all those beautiful bells jingling as they've never jingled before! ;0)

Had better stop there before I get into trouble over dancing with Morris Boysies again!.....'Can't go there'..... ;0)

And don't even get me started on Duncan's 'Bed of Straw'!! Why is that song not all over the Mike Harding Show? I think I need to organise a Radio Coup and take over Radio 2....get some of this fantastic music OUT...all over the BBC!

Now I'm getting agitated!....I mean I'm listening to all these incredibly talented people out here in the Folk/Acoustic world and Mike's started playing Ramblin' Jack! I mean is it me?? (No-one answer that! ;0)..)

Well, I'm off to start lunch and do The FERF round the kitchen to 'The Famous Floating B' now Les, so that will cheer me up again! :0)

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday everyone.
