I really enjoyed it. Highlight for me was that mad bloke called "Ginger John Jordan"

Now that's much better. Doesn't interfere with my birthday or other such things. I'll mark my diary.

What happened to that old geezer with the cap & ponytail who sings shanties?

I missed him this time.

He was headlining at a crucially important Shanty Festival at Pirates Swoop.

I do not know where you hardy folk were pitched . I was very disapointed by the lack of wet weather facilities at this Knockholt festival.After investing four pounds a night to attend I EXSPECT MORE THAN A RODENT GNAWED 1930S ARMY TENT FOR SHELTER IN TERENTIAL RAIN.As for the entertainment the reunited brothers grimm GINGER AND WOODEN regailed us with a bombardment of toilet humour[last regurgitated in their nursery days] and some buffoon from the westcountry shouted whilst effeminately prancing round the fire.Enfusiastically recieved on the strength him not being seen for a while .One wonders if these people are serious enough to be allowed space at as prestigious event as Knockholt heralds itself

The British Army tents are the best in the world.

Trenchfoot - You pay £4 per night (to the farmer) to pitch your tent/caravan/camper (irespective of the number of occupant). The rest is up to you.

The Folkmob provide the portaloos & firewood (2 tons of top quality logs)

There is also a MASH type Korean War type tent which is erected in the field, unfortunately although it has served us well for a few years, it is now a bit worse for wear and we are looking to replace it.

Toilet humour? well I suggest that you have a toilet mind and need to flush it out.

The songs that myself and ginger performed were:

I Saw A Bottle Of Tizer
Bike
Every Time I See Your Face
Signed DC
Hey Thwere Horsefly
House Of The Rising Sun

Could you point out which one was toilet humour please? They may have been out of tune and we both can't sing - but so what, we do know how to spell "torrential" and "expect"

I sugguest you find somewhere else to park your seedy little arse next June.

Woodsie! you can't spell either - I "sugguest" that it's spelt suggest irrespective of how many "occupant" "twhere" were.

But I agree this trechfoot should look elsewhere for toilet humour. The folkmob do not provide it!

I missed all this, but I must attend next year, if only to underline the fact that there is no humour in my toilet, as anyone who has experienced it can attest

It angers me to read bellyachers like Trenchfoot complaining that knockholt organisers cannot control the weather.In my day it was regarded as a manly right of passage to survive a wet knockholt.The survivors would be proudly honoured that monday at the Crown and Cushion and those who didnt survive quickly forgotten. Itwas a mans life in the folkmob then and not a bloody marquee in sight. God I need a cold shower

Who says the September Knockholt was wet. Considering local climatic conditions that weekend it was almost miraculously dry. As for the standard of the entertainment most of us are there for a laugh(westcountry buffoons included).I felt I must have a say having read some of the mistruths placed here .Thankyou for recomending I look in woodsie so I can put the record straight
