Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: Nick Date: 26 Jul 06 - 06:54 AM Do you know who is doing the Guitar Workshop? I've never been to one and would be interested in having a go |

Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: GUEST,HipflaskAndy - no cookie today! Date: 26 Jul 06 - 05:48 AM Hi Unicorn Man... bit startled by the 'WELL Hipflask Andy. Where is it then????' ....seeing as the thread starts right up there on post #one with the Gathering's web address. Thought everyone would take that as 'read'. See you there and I'll lend you my reading glasses as I ask you what pint you want pulled (me buying) - OK? Come say hello. I'll try to remember my badge! Cheers! ...and Dave the Gnome.... Not that we aren't 'folk', but I'm told my DMcF Band (electric) is quite palatable to non-folkies. Some of 'em come from a rock background (and it shows!!!) We're on the bandstand in the Green Gragon grounds - by the path to Hardraw Force (Falls) made famous in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves by Kev-Costner-bathing-nude-scene - we'll be clothed! We'll be doing a two hour set (or so) of our brand of folk-rock - and our set is FREE! Mebbe your friend would try us and some ale - and hopefully some good weather! Cheers! - Duncan |

Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: Dave the Gnome Date: 26 Jul 06 - 03:49 AM I have a friend who is staying in Dent that weekend. He is not a folkie but likes all sorts of music. Anything going for him that he can pop in and if he doesn't like it pop out again? Cheers DtG |

Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: Tig Date: 25 Jul 06 - 01:37 PM Put Green Dragon Hardraw into your search engine Unicorn - or www.greendragonhardraw.com and it will take you there. We are going up Friday. It was brilliant last year. Look forward to meeting you again Andy. |

Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: The Unicorn Man Date: 25 Jul 06 - 12:46 PM WELL Hipflask Andy. Where is it then???? It is this weekend is'nt it? |

Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: BusyBee Paul Date: 29 Mar 06 - 04:20 PM It's in my diary! |

Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: HipflaskAndy Date: 29 Mar 06 - 07:40 AM Yep, it's definitely on in 2006 - and I'll probably get a thread of 'its own' going for 'em so as folk aren't confused ('cause if they open up this one, the first umpteen threads concern 05). But for now, the dates are 28th-30th July, centred round the Green Dragon of course and I believe some of the guests to be Last Night's Fun, Grace Notes, Wiches of Elswick, Dave Vermond and the Duncan McFarlane Band (ahem, that's me, which is why I'm party to this info at present). There'll be more... but the main thrust of this fest is that it's participant rather than guest based - so it's dance, singing and playing sessions (for free). So (to use the Leeds City Varieties Good Old Days phrase) it's chiefly yourselves!! And was a grand affair, for being so, last year! Cheers - Duncan |

Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: GUEST,GDM Date: 01 Aug 05 - 11:58 AM There were sessions in five different rooms of the Green Dragon all at once. Some rooms made it till 3am Fri and Sat night. Missed Sunday, had to go home but caught the dancing out on the street at the front before going. Spectacular!!!! Loads of free goings-on evrywhere. The folk rock outdoor concert on Sat took place indoors not out on the bandstand in the camping area cos it looked like rain would come, but didn't. two hours of top class stuff for free. The weather perked up for Sunday no end and the folk rock concert for Sunday afternoon went ahead as planned I'm told. Jez Lowe and the Bad Pennies rounded off the Friday night concert which was excellent. Julie Felix topped off the Sat evening concert with style. Same 'team' already been asked to, and said 'yes' to running it again next year. Should be even better, specially if the weather isn't so gloomy. get it in yer diaries now. Same weekend. |

Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: muppett Date: 01 Aug 05 - 08:51 AM Sounds like it was another good gathering, was planning to come over Sat. Eve. was going to get train upto Garsdale Head then cycle down, but missed the train, so spent night at HOME, oh well there's always next year. |

Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: GUEST,HipflaskAndy Date: 01 Aug 05 - 05:10 AM Hats off to tireless landlady Yvonne and our host Mark! Big raps to 'new' organiser Steve! The place was heaving all w/e. This first ever partnership tween those three was a resounding success! Long may you now run. Cheers Tig - your drink? A pleasure, my new friend. Thanks for sorting out my hand! Glad you liked the leccie band Martin. On Sunday I was shown a videophone clip of you doing my 'Robin Hood's Bay' in a singaround. Went off to lie in a darkened room! You rogue! Good on ya for coming up all the way up from Barton See you at Walton mebbe? Thanks for the 'Policy' doc Badger. Cheers! Rain? Flooding? Hardly any of the first on Fri and Sat, gloriously sunny on the Sunday (appropriately!) No sign of flooding at all, who came up with that idea? As I slowly come to after a grand w/e I'll keep posting up odd snippets as I gradually recall them. More later..... HFA |

Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: Gin Crewe Date: 31 Jul 05 - 05:34 PM Super company, so many sessions, ...and it hardly rained at all! Well, nothing like what the forecast said it would! Wonderful pub, and we loved the Friday night concert! For those who wondered- we didn't camp after all! |
|
Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: The Unicorn Man Date: 31 Jul 05 - 04:42 PM Wow. What a great weekend. God bless this army, god bless this war, god bless the landlord we had a bed of straw. Cheers Dunc, your band sounds great, and I love the hair. |
|
Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: Tig Date: 31 Jul 05 - 03:08 PM It was a brilliant weekend and is going in my diary for next year! Lots of music, lots of real ale, lots of good company (Thanks for the drink Hipflask). There was more water coming over the force today than yesterday but even so it wasn't 'in spate'. The weather was nowhere near as bad as it could have been and today was even sunny so the concert at the bandstand could go ahead outdoors as planned. Thanks to all who planned, worked so hard etc, especially Mark who's establishment it is. |
|
Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: nutty Date: 31 Jul 05 - 01:52 PM Well ... how did it go?? Was Green Dragon Man telling the truth??? Was the waterfall more than a drip??? Given the rain we've had over the weekend ... I'm full of curiosity |
|
Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: Firecat Date: 29 Jul 05 - 02:29 PM Well, parents are there now and they've left me to trash the house! :-) Hope you all have a great time if you've got chance to see this before you go. |
|
Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: IanC Date: 29 Jul 05 - 08:35 AM Site behind the pub's fine. It's well above the level of the (fairly small) beck. Hardraw Force itself seldom looks like the illustration. We renamed it "Hardraw Drip" when our children were small. It wasn't bad when we stayed there in May, though. :-) |
|
Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: fiddler Date: 29 Jul 05 - 08:24 AM Envious - I should be there with you all - have a damnably good weekend chaps and chapesses! |
|
Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: GUEST,GDM Date: 29 Jul 05 - 07:29 AM the campsite has never flooded before! Don't be put off! - Green Dragon Man |
|
Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: GUEST,Mr Happy Date: 28 Jul 05 - 08:31 PM Digging out inflatable dinghy to pack- just in case! [it's not a dingy dinghy!] |
|
Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: GUEST,Mollycat Date: 28 Jul 05 - 11:11 AM The site behind the pub is next to the beck so I'd be suprised if it doesn't flood. I don't know about the other site, that's further down the road. Take a dingy & you'll be fine. |
|
Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: GUEST,Mr Happy Date: 28 Jul 05 - 10:57 AM T'weather forecasts not good for w/end- looks like rain & cold. Anyone know if campsite's prone to flooding? |
|
Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: GUEST,Mollycat Date: 27 Jul 05 - 08:22 AM We'll be there all weekend. Let's hope the weather stays fine, it would be such a shame to have the outdoor concerts moved indoors! |
|
Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: Tig Date: 27 Jul 05 - 08:20 AM Hee, hee, hee. Not if you don't need another yet Andy. (I still am blushing with embarrassment) |
|
Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: GUEST,HipflaskAndy Date: 27 Jul 05 - 06:01 AM It's in the gig bag, packed to go, already! You're not going to ask for me to pay for it yet again are you? ;0) I'll buy you a drink though. Cheers! HFA |
|
Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: Tig Date: 26 Jul 05 - 10:28 AM You buying Hip? I'll bet you forget to take your Mudcat badge! |

Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: GUEST,HipflaskAndy Date: 26 Jul 05 - 08:24 AM Bit of promotion (self-promo if you will - but there's no one else to do it for us, so why not?) The Duncan McFarlane Band are at Hardraw all week end - the acoustic version of the band, and the full electric version who'll play outside on the bandstand at 2pm ish (if wet, in the Green Dragon concert room) I'm doing a guitar workshop too (Drop D, C Modal, aw, whatever folk ask about) in tandem with local blues and ragtime specialist Gerry Cooper. As luck would have it, the 'Music Room' offered me a place working their stand as 'strings person' at Cambridge Fest the same w/e - a free ticket! Dammit. Missed out again. Pity about the clash. Prob'ly just as well, we (the leccie band) need a good run out afore playing the Ham Marquee on Friday 5th Aug with the Battlefield Band as part of the climax to Sidmouth Festival. 8pm we're on there. Please do come and say hello and share some beer after we're off (at 9). Would love to meet some of you Catters at either venue. Do say hello! Cheers - HFA |

Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: fiddler Date: 25 Jul 05 - 05:56 AM contrary to my previous posting - Now not going - double (actually triple) booked - earning money form Music - Sacrilidge Enjoy it you lucky g*ts! |
|
Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: GUEST,Excited Date: 25 Jul 05 - 05:53 AM Jez Lowe is on wi' the' Bad Pennies. There's workshops too I believe. Me and the good lady will be there. SM |
|
Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: Tig Date: 24 Jul 05 - 09:05 AM PM me with names Mr H and we'll see what we can do - I assume you mean Mudbadges. |
|
Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: Mr Happy Date: 24 Jul 05 - 06:21 AM Tig, Asking nicey, some of fiends would like badges, can you fix it for them, please? |
|
Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: GUEST,Hardraw Force Date: 23 Jul 05 - 09:35 AM Gin, The Green Dragon has rooms - if camping doesn't suit ya. see the website via link above. |
|
Subject: RE: Hardraw Gathering:Who's going? From: Tig Date: 23 Jul 05 - 09:03 AM We weren't planning on it Mr H. However that doesn't mean he may not have a large bag of badges secreted somewhere about his personage;-0 Anybody wanting a Mudcat badge taken there needs to ask nicely by about Wednesday. |
