Right let's get back to a bit of sanity.

No one has thought to mention that the programme is currently in the very capable hands of a very capable programme compiler. It will be at the printers in a bit and should be available to buy for a very modest fee, hot of the press, by Easter Weekend!

Aren't we a clever bunch?

Having a programme before the festival will be hard to cope with. No doubt there will be more letters in the express about it from the old brigade. Well done all of you.

if there are any traders out there you couild do with booking as market hall is filling up

so any old hippy stuff, food, trammel and tish would be good as well as useful hardware, medical gizmos or bondage gear suppliers - strangley ( and creatively) to save hassle we are making booking via our chums in Tourist Info Shop -check Kirklees Council Website for contact details

Morris sides coming thick and fast and my right hand woman even turned one away this week but think we can find space on sunday for anyone who wants to strut thier stuff

STOP PRESS we have a samba band ! so this is now a world music festival too now i guess !

bring yer maraccas !!

You'd be amazed what folkies are into - not speaking personally of course, I just have my wonderwoman outfit.
I can remember though in the distant past that a local carpet company wouldn't advertise in the programme as folkies didn't buy carpets and a children's clothes shop wouldn't because folkies didn't buy designer clothers for their kids.
As if!
How things have changed!!

HELLO GUEST CALLING HIM OR HER SELF, Tyke!! DO NOT USE SOMONE ELSE NONDEPLUME WHEN LOGING ON AS A GUEST. YOUR COMPUTER CAN BE TRACED!! Fun is fun but pretending to be a Mudcat member is not funny. I'm sure other Mudcatter's will agree with my annoyance.

Help please, would anyone who has any antidotes about Brian Lawton, Please help me to do a little research about his life. PM's are fine but better still it may be better to add them to the Holmfirth Festival of Folk thread. Brian Lawton's Memorial Concert details featuring Various Artists can be found at Holmfirth Festival Of Folk

Tyke, excuse my ignorance is Brian Lawton one of the two chaps who ran folk clubs in Huddersfield for years ?

Glad to see you described as an artist at long last, however the description was one word short, surely there should have been a reference to p**s

Smile and the world smiles with you :-)

I'm not that angry! Raggytash if that was you as a Guest? I just wanted to point out (this is an on going problem with Guest postings) that if someone post as a Guest he or she may or not be the person he or she purports to be. If you are someone who is posting to the Mudcat on another computer as a guest, on a regular basis, then your credibility whilst doing so has been reduced. Talk about Foot n Mouth. err sorry Foot in Mouth!

Yes guest Rattytash thats the Brian.

George my old sheepshagger, t'was I that posted as Guest Tyke earlier, you may buy me a pint in recompense next we meet. I am aware of the hinderance of someone posting under my name which occured frequently last year, and I agree it can be annoying especially when done out of malice as it seemed to be at the time.

Anyway I'll look forward to that pint, which I may even enjoy at the Holmfirth Festival of Folk

Cheers

The tickets should be arriving at Picturedrome on Friday..The tickets are £ 7.50..However as I am feeling genrous..Users of this mudcat forum can av em cheap at a fiver....This equates to a free pint of Taylors..

Oh No (as they say in the Archers). Holmfirther, you will have flocks of sheep coming along if you are selling the tickets cheep!
Actually it conjures up quite a spectacle - The Doonans and sheep.
No I must stop it and get back to the timetable.

Please note, Holmfirther, that Wombat is not the name of one of Raggytushes sheep.

Raggytush just trying to get in the front stalls.

This ploy obviously to lessen the possibility of buying anyone a drink by seating himself as far away from the bar as possible. He spent most of Last Whitby Folk Week in the Plough.

I'm not saying that he is as tight as a …………… on second thoughts I don't think we should mention any more small creatures. The fact is that I only said that I would buy him a drink to stop him spitting feathers.

To complicated..........................A guy is lost in the desert he comes across this old jewish trader...dying of thirst he asks for water..at which the jewish trader replies dwanna buy a tie ?..the guy who is dreaming of a drink says no and walks off in dissgust..the trader shouts out to him there's a diner owned by my brother just over the hill with loads of water........several hours later the guy desperately in need of a drink returns to the jewish trader...the trader asks what happend'?.. thirsty man replies with..'He would'nt let me in without a tie'.................PC       So no tie traders please.

Which aspect of questionable PC are you referring too..Using the word 'jewish' or incorrect attire..? Or is ones' sence of humour being tested ? or is it the diner's problem for having a dress code ?..If the jewish man did'nt have a tie and needed water from the same diner and was refused for not wearing one what would be the difference ?....No more gags from PC

Some of the food from the pacific rim [life types' unknown]had lots of points but penguin was the main bit..so there is some point in them to cullinary freaks from the far east...and if my memory serves me right theres' some in the freezer up at longley farm..[they are having a habitat issue]..Which brings me back to Johnie Spitfire..He works at Longley farm..I wonder if its him impersonating a penguin ?...I'll have to check that out..PC

I hope Jonny Spitfires not in the freezer at longley farm.He'll be using frozen peas for bullets and chicken drumsticks for bombs!And I personally prefer to see him in th nook.Bomber pilot, penguin, or yoghurt maker.Any will do.
