Hi guys,
Thought it about time that I let you know that FILO Folk are branching out. The "First In Last Out - FILO" has been so well frequented that people are clambering for more. In addition to the weekly Tuesday night, I have been asked by public demand to carry on with the Saturday nights. Instead of every Saturday night I am organising a first Saturday on the month session starting Saturday 1st October, from 8 til late. Let's Folk for pleasure; no matter how good or bad, sing or play, be there and lets do it.

Check it out Raggy, Nomad, Captain Crabbe, Mandoman, the Bolton Six, calling the Hull chapter and all points North, South, East and West

Hi
Bev, Macca (fiddle) and myself (Chris) popped into "First in last Out" on Thursday night during Whitby Folk Week and what a brilliant night we had!!! It were stonkingly good!! Bev has been in touch with you I believe and we'll be there on Sat 1st Oct with a few other friends from Huddersfield. We're sorting out B&B overnight so we can have a proper night out. A very memorable gentleman that evening in August was Tony Morris. Will Tony be there on 1st Oct? What was also very special to us that night was how the local people joined in with the playing/singing. It reminded me of very happily and accidently "happening" upon the craik/crack (or however they spell it!) in Ireland. Long may it reign; you can't beat a good community pub. But do people know how to find the "First in last Out" pub? It's off the beaten track in Whitby so it might be worth you giving a few directions/ guidance notes! See you on Sat 1st Oct.

Sounds great, Charliestu.
Sandy & I certainly enjoyed the two sessions we attended before & during the festival this year.
So, whenever I am passing on the first Saturday of the month, I will bear it in mind!
But it is 205 miles from Stratford-upon-Avon, where I live!

LJ - York Terrace, Fishburn Park, Whitby.

If you are unfamiliar with the town I suggest you get to the station, which is quite close by, then ask a local. The pub is a bit tucked away and you would be unlikely to find it just by walking about.

It was certainly a new folk experience to me!!
Gnomad, are you sure the address is York Terrace? I thought it was on Park Terrace. The way we got to FILO was to go up the steps on the left of the railway station towards the Hospital, then turn left passed the main Hospital entrance, then turn right up North Road and then second left onto Park Terrace and the FILO was further down Park Terrace on the right after a small convenience store.
Sorry to be pedantic but it is a confusing warren of streets of terraced housing in that part of Whitby!

First In Last Out is a little back street pub tucked away from the tourist area of Whitby in an area known as fishburn Park. Stu started a folk session on a Tuesday some time ago and tried to start a saturday night session as well with mixed results. He has now decided to give it another shot which happily coincides with group of people from Huddersfield who decided independently to have a weekend in Whitby and have a session (with the landlords OK)on the 1st of October.
Primarily a singing session with a few tunes thrown in for good measure, the pub itself is a tad scruffy but very welcoming and Chuck, the landlord, is very supportive of the music

"First In, Last Out" pub hence FILO Folk. Two ways to get to it
1. From the college camp site head for traffic lights and cross straight over road down Waterstead Lane. Go past the Ambulence Station then as road bends to right take the left fork. Carry on down to junction where there is the Railway Chippy on R/H corner and Pub directly opposite.

2. From Bus Station. With the Railway Stn on your left head up past the library and keep following the main road which bends up a rather steep hill. Take the second left which is Park Ter one side and Cleveland Ter t'other (primitive economy drive!)Take next first right and follow your nose/ears etc.

What have we got? Genuine people, quality people, friendly people and no rubber-neck tourists wif knotted hanky round bonce!!!

Lastly Tony, our resident bard will be visiting with his usueal "Asshole Hassle". Don't worry it's a song!

O'ra' best until the first!

Hi Michael, I will not be at Ribblehead, thought of calling in on the Sunday but it's one hell of a detour from my way home. I did ask if anyone wanted to share a house for the Ribblehead weekend but no-one came forward, my days of camping in October have been curtailed by my more sensible significant other. The idea of meeting some folk from Huddersfield in Whitby on the first was muted, so that's where we'll be heading

Soldier Boy: Re York Terrace/Park Terrace, phone book says York Terr, my instinct is with yours in thinking Park Terr.

Local Map on the largest scale available in shops shows York Terr as tiny but in the right place if the front door has been moved at some time, but YP does not even show up on mapping sites I have tried. Certainly going to Park Terr will get you there.

Hence my suggestion of get close, then ask.

Hey folks; tune into the thread "Tap & Spile Whitby No Shit this year!!" - there's a barny brewing!!
What are your views on the very private proceedings of a very pampered and insular clique that gathers in "the singing room" in the Tap & Spile every Whitby Folk Week. The private party precious ones!??
Add your voice to this debate.
MC Fat started this one ( and is probably starting to regret it!) - He says he's looking forward to a good "Stushie" (apparently Scottish for a fight or argument) So let's not let him down.

Not a bad night at all, thanks Stu for that and thanks for removing the Bodhran from a certain person whilst I was playing, very astute !
I didn't want to spoil the night (as so many people had travelled from Huddersfield)so said nothing to the culprit when he joined in out of time/rythym with other people. However I would be very grateful if someone could have a quiet word with him about the etiquette of joining in. I do not want to appear a Prima Donna but if he should join in with me on another occasion I will say something to him and if I have to repeat myself it may not be very polite. I do hope this won't be required.

For those who were not there (before I get critised)it is very difficult to maintain a song if someone if hitting a bodhran in a totally different time to the one you're playing in. It is positively distracting

This man must be in his fifties, seems intellegent so I can see no resason why he should not be able to apply the common decencies that we (nearly) all subscibe to. Is it really necessary to have to spell something out to certain people in words of one syllable for them to grasp the basic rule of thumb. That is, you do not interfer with someone else's song or tune if you are distracting them, or as in this case creating a bloody awful din. I would be very grateful if someone could explain the niceties of folk club etiquette to this chap.
I have raised this issue before when I was drowned out by another bodhran player (in a different club) who when asked to desist not only continued loudly but was joined by his female friend on one of those bloody rattle with beads round, both of them out of time with what I was singing and with each other ...... cacophony springs to mind

It may be a free world and long may it remain so, however that does not preclude the use of manners, it fact it relies on it. What right does one individual have to interject rank drumming into someone elses song, no question of my being asked if I minded, no question of other people present being asked when he interfered with their playing. Does this one individual have greater rights than the rest of us. As for learning, this is Whitby, we've just had a folk festival at which workshops were available for anyone at various levels.

Sorry Chris but I get really pi**ed off with people why insist upon "playing" a Bodhran when it is patently obvious to all that they cannot even master the basic's of the instrument. To then join in with someone else and proceed to make a bollocks of their attemps to entertain is, to me, totally unacceptable. I shall ask Stuart to have a quiet word with the person is question and if that doesn't work I shall have a word myself, politely at first but far more assertively if that fails, I do not see why we should have to tolerate such rubbish.

Subject: RE: Whitby F.I.L.O Folk
From: Soldier boy
Date: 06 Oct 05 - 12:02 PM

Hi Raggytash. I know what you mean but you don't half rabbit on about it. Personally I think the gentleman in question is a unique,brilliant, totally off-the-wall entertainer who is highly intelligent and has unquestionable expertise in an astonishing array of instruments. Unfortunately, the Bodhran is not one of them (Or perhaps his extrovert and very individual style means that he actually refuses to play it in the traditional and accepted manner!) It was much funnier during Whitby Folk Week in a session in the FILO when a chap turned up who had just bought his first bodhran from the Pavillion (it was massive!)and started to watch and then copy the bodhran style of playing by the "gentleman in question".It was horrendous! comically horrendous! Good job you weren't there then or you would have gone ballistic!
It is unsettling when someone accompanies you who is completely out of rhythm ( we must all know loads of bloody awful bodhran players!)
but in this case I think his unique entertainment value easily outweighs the unusual bodhran playing. It works with his own material but very obviously not when joining in with others. So actually, yes you're right, perhaps someone should have a word with him - very politely and very respectfully please.

Subject: RE: Whitby F.I.L.O Folk
From: GUEST,Raggytash
Date: 06 Oct 05 - 12:43 PM

Unfortunately Chris I don't share your views on his merits, I found him boring in the extreme, 27 verse songs of no particular merit do not entertain me, his Bodhran playing was an insult to the assembled company (you know yourself how important rythym is to a percussion instrument being a fine drummer yourself)and I couldn't even escape his volume by going to the bog (I tried it twice and could hear every word)
My rant is not just aimed at this individual, I've experienced the same thing numerous times and although I acknowledge and accept there are varying degrees of ability in any one company I do not consider we should have to tolerate such c**p just because it is in a folk club, in any other genre of music they would be laughed out of court.
As for his expertise with other instruments and his intelligence I will defer to your greater knowledge as you obviously have greater experience than I, however I will have to consider whether I attend the session again on a Saturday night

Hi GUEST. I couldn't agree more. I admire this guy so much I bought his CD "Changing Tracks" when I was at the FILO at the night in question! Tony is a free spirit who is not shackled to the traditional and rigid conventions of what many expect from the folk experience. Having seen Tonys web site I understand what you mean by his philosophy on music and I respect it to the hilt.
BUT I must also concur with Raggytash and say that when playing "in company" you must at least try to fit in with the beat/ rythm, otherwise you either come across as inept or anti-social or ignorant. It's a close call because I have the utmost respect for Raggytash and Tony, and as far as I'm concerned long may the differences and pure clash of raw creativity continue.
Surely this is what "folk music" (in all its guises) is all about!

Guest, Bev ,I know you are besotted with me but please do not use this thread to to arrange secret assignations.

Hello Andy,
I didn't mean you banjoandy you know that your needed down the Endeavour and the Tap. Derek is missing you must remember he is now clocking on and needs your support. Someone was telling me that Derek is still practising safe sex at 70.

Apparently he's had a handrail fitted round the bed.

Hi all,
I have read with some amusement, the comments about an "out of rhythm" drummer, so far anonymouse and then named and shamed, it was a hoot 'cos I had his name in the frame almost immediately. My sympathies go out to you musos it is tough, singing is my only vice and it's hard when someone is singing off key and out of tune in your ear, worse though, is when musos join in when your singing in "Free time" and with a slightly different melody to the one they are playing, some one once said to me " you sang that all wrong"- "this is how it goes"..... Who's song was it anyway!
Maybe I could round the "boys" up for a trip to tuesday FILO, it sounds like our sort of thing!

Been reading this with interest and some sympathy. I remember when I first mooted taking my melodeon out and playing it in a local folk club a friend offered the advice "don't get up and do anything you wouldn't be prepared to sit through yourself". which I've always thought was good advice. Mind you, he now lives in Whitby - I hope it's not him with the drum. Over in Preston one of the folk clubs describes it's singer's night arrangements as "anyone can join in but don't mess it up". Having now had 30ish years of playing, sometimes with others, sometimes in spite of them, I can go with that.

took the resurrection of this thread to mean there was a night on Saturday, it being the first saturday of the month, is there a session on the 4th

Re Sat 4Mar2006, yes, it's on according to Charliestu.

If Ruston Hornsby is who I think it is then I don't remember saying that, but it fits what I would advise and sounds like me. Welcome to the world of lunacy, I never set fire to Stan's cap and it wasn't me snoring that night, I was in bed miles away.

Either way no, the drummer ain't me, though I did witness the matter.

Bit wet underfoot, I must be in de Nile.

Oh yes - 'tis me. I'm glad it's not you with the drum. And I will admit to acidentally setting fire to the late Stan Compton's corduroy cap during a song from the similarly departed Ken Loveless. We could have made him put it on and perform Arthur Brown's "Fire".....wasn't he from Whitby....?
