Hey boys, thanks for the song adverts!

Yes I'll be there. Hopefully near the bar and the main marquee.

So Trevor, you'll be there? It'll be good to see you.

Traffic'll be a bugger on Monday night onto the bypass with competition from the Onlsow Park steam rally. Takes hours to get off that site so be prepared to jam! Sesh in the road? Pete Grassby entertained on the M5 last week when there was a serious jam.

How far is the county ground site from the railway station? Is it walkable?

There is a footbridge marked on the website map, does it give acess to the campsite or would people still have to follow the roads marked by blue arrows.

thank you in anticipation

GUEST (at least I am not afraid to put a name to my messages)
Yes I was having a laugh, in the other thread that you so kindly highlighted regarding 'self publicity'.
We all do it, we all need it.
You, however, clearly don't need the publicity and aren't prepared to put your name to a message.

Mr Red's song is good too, and The Lemonade Lady also deserves all the publicity she gets.

I'm looking forward to seeing her at the Burntwood Festival on August 18th - 20th.

I would love to be there, but will be in Holland.

Maybe next year.

OOOOOOOOOoooooooooer

Mr Red (apparently) wrote a song about the lemonade and sang it on the Thursday of Bridgnorth. See pdf or text

All Fri, people were saying "heard the song, nudge nudge". Mr Red - coy as ever, denied all knowledge, & prompted strangers to comment to her about the song as they walked past. Sally, kept asking him about this song wot he knew nothing about! Best fun he had with his clothes on.

Not that I have met this Mr Red - you understand. d8^)}

Is this the same 'webfolk' who was criticising Bernard for blatant self-publicity a while back? Pots? Kettles? See thread . You're having a laugh, surely?

Danensis, a text to Sally who is currently at Sidmouth, and a reply to me who is currently at home, tells me that Ms Lemon, the Leomonade Lady, immortalised in my song 'I'm in love with the lemonade lady' which can be found at my website under 'songs' at www.webfolk.net WILL indeed be at the Shrewsuby Folk Festival.

Does anyone know if the lemonade lady who used to be at Bridgnorth is going to be at Shrewsbury?

How does one recognise a fellow 'catter? I've been going to Bridgnorth since it started and only ever found a couple of 'catters - one running the lemonade stall and the other dressed in Red.

Hi Noreen,

The Tommy Saxondale thing confused me too...not difficult!

BTW Tim (No1 son) starts his Masters at Manchester 'cos he STILL wants to bea librarian.

See you at Sidmouth / South Zeal / Shrewsbury or whatever.

Hi JJ, and everyone else going to Shrewsbury! We'll be stewarding, and looking forward to a good sing or two.


(Can someone explain the 'Tommy Saxondale' reference please? Means nothing to me.)

Looks like it should be every bit as good if not better than Bridgnorth.

Good to hear Moor & Coast are on the campsite so we won't have to trek for breakfast.

Are Eddie and Maureen going to be there with their great Carribean food? If so don't miss a chance to sample the jerk chicken or chicken curry. Can't wait.

I'm going and so is The Ref.

Mudcat gathering? Anyone know?

Not a correction as such, more information, but Moor & Coast are going to be on the campsite rather than being on the main ground with all the other traders.
I'll be there all weekend flipping burgers and stuff with the boys!

I picked up a (very professional) flyer recently. Shrewsbury looks like being everything a good festival should be.

Just a minor correction, the campsite is on the County SHOW Ground, also known as the West Midlands Showground. I think the county cricket team play on the outskirts of town so don't go there! (The map is pretty good anyway).

The Quarry will be a great venue, alongside the river, and for those who don't know it, Shrewsbury iks a lovely place. Anybody wants gen on pubs, restaurants etc let me know.

Can't wait!

The camping is on two sites about a quarter mile apart.
The Quarry site is where the marquees will be sitedand offers some camping which is all allocated and there are no vacancies here.
The main camping is on the County Cricket Ground and it is very flat,quite extensive and extendable.
There will be catering(Moor and Coast and others) on site and showers will be available in addition to the usual loos.
The Shrewsbury Festival website has a good map and an aerial picture or two showing the locations and their proximity to each other and to shops etc.

I'll be there for the w/e. Since it'll the first time at Shewsbury, no idea what the camping will be like.

Is anyone going to the new Shrewsbury Folk Festival?
It looks like a fantastic line up.

What is the campsite like and will there be any pub sessions?
