Think Moses and the Ref might be going. Les Sullivan had a gig at Maidenhead last Thursday and saw Moses. Said they may be going.

More to the point what venues are open I believe the civic hall has gone and the bowling green looking at the map the school looks miles out

From: Mrs.Duck
Date: 13 Sep 06 - 04:52 AM

The Rugby Club is being used but I'm not sure where that is - could be out near the school as aerial photo shows sports field. School does appear to be a long way out but maybe the shuttle bus will be in action to transport folk.

Subject: RE: Otley Folk Festival 2006 - who's going?
From: GUEST
Date: 13 Sep 06 - 06:12 AM

Yep, there's to be 'another' shuttle bus I understand.
The admin cock-up by the Civic Hall (not the fest) regarding not re-newing appropriate licenses has meant all concerts for that venue have 'transferred' to the school - but the Civic are supposed to be sorting a bus as some sort of recompense.
It's a blessing in some ways, the Civic was shortly due for complete gutting, re-build, re-furb and would be lost to the fest shortly anyway (for one, two years???).
As Prince Henry's had been alienated to the fest by a 'previous school regime', it's allowed the present regime and the fest organisers to re-establish the school site as an integral part of the fest...and if all works smoothly this year, will surely pave the way to saving the situation when the Civic has to bow out till re-built?

For the 'healthy' types, it's a 10 minute or so hike to get to from town centre - much easier 'return' when both excited (post-concert) and drunk (post-alcohol).

Whilst the Bowling Green 'inside' is now 'gone' (owners sold up), the area outside for dancing is still a 'go-er' - no worries there, I'm told.... and it's not as if Otley is short of pubs! Plenty left to go at!
Have fun!

Where do people recommend for a good singaround Saturday afternoon/evening?

Moses and I are running two on Saturday, 12:00 noon and 6:30 pm. at the Black Horse and The Fleece respectively. The second one is billed as a session, but as Moses and I are both singers, so.....

(Better talk to Steve about that I suppose!)

Hiya Mick,
          I'll see what the Manor House is like this year under new management, does anyone know if it's folk friendly this year.

Subject: RE: Otley Folk Festival 2006 - who's going?
From: Mrs.Duck
Date: 13 Sep 06 - 05:06 PM

So is the civic still being used for non concert stuff like stalls etc? Are we likely to see the school used for camping next year? Shellbacks are hosting a singaround in The Red Lion from 2pm.

The Manor is run by a young guy who used to work at the Junction, and he was making noises about starting a monday night singaround to make up for the one we lost at the junction when they changed managment, (it hasnt happened as yet ) ,, but he is very folk friendly as far as i know.
