Subject: Otley folk club and Myspace From: early Date: 04 Jul 06 - 06:23 AM as a regular of Otley folk club IMHO one of the best clubs in england with a regular attendance on singers nights that would be the rival of any club it's not suprising to find many of the regulars featuring on myspace pages (10 at the last count) feel free to correct me if I am wrong there. Is any other folk club in england blessed with so much local talent? |
Subject: RE: Otley folk club and Myspace From: GUEST,Tom Bliss Date: 04 Jul 06 - 11:50 AM Lots of clubs in the uk with excellent local talent - as indeed has Otley. And this wednesday's singers night is a prime example - The Pipers Sons (three of whom are very talented, anyway, he said quickly) are doing an extended spot! |
Subject: RE: Otley folk club and Myspace From: Lizzie Cornish Date: 04 Jul 06 - 11:58 AM Is any other folk club in England blessed with Steve Fairholme??!! Now *that's* the *really* important question! ;0) Oh....and I have an Otley Regular on my front page! http://www.myspace.com/theduncanmcfarlaneband :0) |
Subject: RE: Otley folk club and Myspace From: early Date: 04 Jul 06 - 01:35 PM Not to take anything away from Steve who is doing a marvelous job of running the club and the tree festivals he is involved in, it was like that before Steve took over running the club. On my first visit to the clubaround fifteen years ago one singers night, as well as all the local singers and players there were Allan Taylor, Ewen Carruthers and John Birkby a daunting group to follow as a seasoned performer let alone for a novice singer guitarist. |
Subject: RE: Otley folk club and Myspace From: captainbirdseye Date: 04 Jul 06 - 01:52 PM Iremember I had a great gig at Otley folk club 15 YEARS AGO , it was well attended,the audience was responsive,if i remember correctly it was run by a man who owned a bicycle shop, it was certainly a comfortable and easy ride as a gig.

Subject: RE: Otley folk club and Myspace From: GUEST,Tom Bliss Date: 04 Jul 06 - 02:48 PM Steve runs some great folk festivals too - (he doesn't invite me into the forest very often so I don't know about his tree fests), but do I have him to thank for getting me back into folk music - as does Duncan. I'd be a regular at Otley too if I wasn't so often away on the road. |

' There sure are 'early' - many a time I gig somewhere else other than my 'home' club (Otley) and I'm allus intrigued by the wealth of talent wher'er I go. There are some grand residents and floor-spotters in most places - that's folk for ya! Sometimes it seems some clubs' residents (et al) read like a who's who of the folk-scene. Hoorah then, Otley is not alone! - cheers - Duncan |

Is any other folk club in england blessed with so much local talent?" I *love* Yorkshire folk! Champion! So who are the other 9 Otley guests on Myspace? I can go and find them then. I've tried the OFC site, but it's not working at present. Here's that lovely Tom Bliss above anyways up! ;0) http://www.myspace.com/tomblissuk Oh and WHY hasn't Otley Folk Club got a Myspace Page?????? Twickenham has and Acoustic Sussex and others.....I think Myspace is just crying out for Otley as well.... Someone get Steve to stop hugging trees and get on to it! ;0) Lizzie :0) |
