Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Grab Date: 10 Apr 07 - 03:48 PM (In case you don't check your PMs) Yes it's mine. There's always something I've left behind - glad it was a relatively inexpensive item this time! I'll try for Chester - see how we're set. WLD, there's your mistake then. Saturday afternoon we were all sat outside the tents in the field next door to enjoy the lovely weather, variously talking, eating, drinking and playing as the mood took us. Graham. |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 10 Apr 07 - 10:07 AM Absolutely incredible, astounding, astonishing experience!! & A huge thanks to all who attended bringing their diverse & wonderful talents to share with us all. Extra big thanks to Tom [ Superb food in 3 Sags including: Relope, relope, retiring hare, straight into my drooling mouth! Apologies to Weelittle drummer, the Saturday afternoon sesh was on the camp field, as the weather was so scorchio! On arriving home & unpacking, discovered we쳌fd stolen Stan Zervas쳌fs tea towel and his stripy chair. Also gained another chair with green cloth material & aluminium legs, think might be Graham쳌fs [Grab]. If not, can the owner let me know or form an orderly queue outside Mr Happy쳌fs Music Therapy Marquee at Chester Folk Festival, which will be our next big do! http://www.chesterfolk.org.uk/festnews.htm |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Big Al Whittle Date: 10 Apr 07 - 09:09 AM I popped in on Saturday afternoon, but there was nobody in the pub apart from some bikers. Never mid perhaps third time lucky with that place! |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Grab Date: 10 Apr 07 - 06:18 AM Cheers all - good to see everyone and put faces to names (and real-names to Mudcat-names). And thanks to Mr Happy for setting the ball rolling. Shame I had to leave on Saturday, but duty called. And turns out two of my brother-in-law's kids are musicians (one guitar/bass, one drums), so all was not lost. :-) Time to lead the little darlings into temptation - muhuhuhahaaa! Anyway, roll on next year. Or maybe another sesh later this year? See how it goes. And if I get my arse moving and get out to some festivals this year, hopefully might meet up with some of you out there. Graham. |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: BanjoRay Date: 08 Apr 07 - 05:52 AM What a great weekend - beautiful weather, great walking up Peter's Stone and down Cressbrookdale, and some storming sessions in an exquisite pub with some fine musicians, Tom, Tim, Jim, Anna, John, Barbara, Graham, Stan, Marilyn, Carol, Lynn, Dennis etc (Mudcat names are up to you!). The food, beer and company really hit the spot. Sorry I had to leave early Sunday to go to SoreFingers and my fingers are sore before I get there. Thanks guys -it was wonderful. Ray |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: terrier Date: 05 Apr 07 - 01:00 PM SIBERIA!!! Now I know why Ray said not those sort of mines. Are we talkin' SALT mines here? Sub Zero temps? An' you're talkin' of singin' outside,MrH? The Night of the Frozen Folkies. I'll have to wear my woolie socks with my sandles now! |

|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 05 Apr 07 - 12:43 PM ...........any Easter Gatherins in Siberia? |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: GUEST,Ray Date: 05 Apr 07 - 12:38 PM Sorry I mentioned the smallpox - not many people know about this. Weather is currently sunny but it was this morning and I had to scrape the ice of the car before I could drive off. The thing to remember is that the Peak District is the same latitude as Siberia so my advice, as a local, would be to come prepared for anything. As for me, I'm staying at home (too many tourists at this time of year) and we're running the Sunday evening singaround at the Woodford festival anyway. |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 05 Apr 07 - 12:34 PM ...............& unfortunately the pub's not open 'til Gd Friday! |

|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 05 Apr 07 - 12:11 PM Tom! That's splendid news! Look 4ward c u with gusto!! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: terrier Date: 05 Apr 07 - 12:01 PM I'm on my way, but I think I'll give the accordeon a miss, those things take up the space of three drunken folkies in a small space (so I'm told). Hope to be there for Friday night. Arf,Arf! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 05 Apr 07 - 10:20 AM yes - hopefully it'll be 'Phew! wot a scorcher! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: BanjoRay Date: 05 Apr 07 - 08:40 AM It looks as if I'm going to be there, complete with banjo (boo, hiss) and possibly fiddle to add some more to the noise level over the weekend. I'll be shooting off fairly early on Sunday, as I'll have to get back to Doncaster for a shower then get to the Cotswolds for the start of Sore Fingers week. Phew! The forecast looks good. Ray |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 05 Apr 07 - 08:22 AM only 1 more day, can't weight! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 04 Apr 07 - 08:38 PM ...........mebbe the flute as well? |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 04 Apr 07 - 07:40 PM terrier, Haven't u heard the traditional foke song: 'Little Poxes on the Hillside'? u seem to have quite meticulous requirements, d'ye think perhaps this event may not be for you? But there again if ye do condescend to cum y'd be welcome. BTW, will u be bringing the accordeon, vile inn, gittara, etc? |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: terrier Date: 04 Apr 07 - 04:39 PM SMALLPOX!!!!!! Would that be upwind or downwind of the campsite. Not to put a finer point on it, but some of those small poxes of yesteryear could be still hanging around and by now they would have grown into bloody big poxes. ;D |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Grab Date: 04 Apr 07 - 04:14 PM The main bylaw it meets is the "bygumIneededthat" law. Which is the important one after a night partaking of Abbeydale's finest ales. |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: GUEST,Ray Date: 04 Apr 07 - 01:31 PM I've never noticed the shed and I pass there regularly so it can't be that big. Don't worry about subsidence its not that sort of mining - you're more likely to fall down a pothole or a mineshaft. In fact, a friend of mine from Litton (just over the hill) - we don't talk about him much 'cos he plays the banjo - found a new one last year; only 700+ feet deep though. You could always pitch your tent a couple of hundred yards up the road - nice flat field - used to be the site of a smallpox hospital. |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: terrier Date: 04 Apr 07 - 12:59 PM I'm still a little worried about this 'Loo shed'. What colour is it? Does it conform to local bylaws i.e. size and distance from dwellings, adjacency to underground water courses. As this is a mining area, do we know for certain that there is no subsidence in the immediate area? I would hate to think of the shed and several tents/caravans/vardas/teepees disappearing down a large hole and ending up being carried down a comunal water....No, it's too horrible to contemplate. Will there be a supply of gas masks? |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 04 Apr 07 - 12:10 PM well it's only Wednesday! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: GUEST,Ray Date: 04 Apr 07 - 12:09 PM Passed the site about an hour ago - no tents yet, just the sheep! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 04 Apr 07 - 11:29 AM Better pack me shorts then! 8-) |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Black Diamond Date: 04 Apr 07 - 08:08 AM and the weatherman says .........SUNNY yippee |

Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 04 Apr 07 - 07:56 AM .....................only 2 more days to go..........wheeeeeeeeeee! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Grab Date: 04 Apr 07 - 05:42 AM When I said "shed", I meant exactly that... |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: Mr Happy Date: 03 Apr 07 - 07:04 PM central heating: no does it go off at night? no it doesn't go off, it stays right where it is!! |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: mandotim Date: 03 Apr 07 - 06:04 PM Terrier; er...'no' and 'no'. Tim |
|
Subject: RE: Easter MudFolk Peak District:Come on! From: terrier Date: 03 Apr 07 - 01:42 PM Does the 'Loo shed' have central heating and does it go off at night? |
|
