Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: Leadfingers Date: 31 Oct 06 - 12:56 PM If it looked like a small banjo , it was probably Richards short scale tenor ! They are a fun instrument - Mine is a Mid twenties Vega Copy ! |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: Shiamsa Date: 31 Oct 06 - 03:13 PM Yes, it's probably the short scale tenor banjo. I tried to find one in Dublin, without success. Any idea where I might pick one up (to buy, I mean!)? Cheers, Don |

Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 01 Nov 06 - 07:35 PM We (I) had rashly assumed it would be the first weekend in Feb, which ties in with the local session. Maybe we will be able to manage the second weekend instead, but can't be sure about that yet. Will Eric and Lettie be candidates this time, and has anyone heard from Brendy in recent months? |

Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: MudGuard Date: 13 Nov 06 - 01:54 PM Hello Folks, sorry for not having answered your mail yet, Liz - and Mary (ok, yours just arrived minutes ago ...). At the moment, we have high season in my business (car insurance), and with loads of extra time (last week, I had finished the official 40 hours/week on Wednesday around 11am ..., I ended last week after roughly 110 hours of work). So there was not much time left for mudcatting ... I intend Fibs: an Oyster card? I thought you got a Whelks diploma in B.u.H. ;-) Giok: you do not qualify as innocent (only for limping and old ;-)) Skarpi: if your band does not include Rosa - can you bring her anyway? ... (sorry, no time to answer to everybody ...) Liz: might there be a chance of visiting Hotel Draper on the Thursday night? I'll try to get this organized despite not having time for organizing it ... Andy/MudGuard in a hurry ... |

Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: Leadfingers Date: 13 Nov 06 - 03:15 PM Thats graet Andy - Portaferry without you would NOT be the same ! All we need now are The Moohs !!! |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: Gulliver Date: 13 Nov 06 - 06:20 PM It looks like I will be coming along, will look into booking later this week. I just wanted to let you know that I changed my Mudcat name: from Shiamsa to Gulliver. Don |

Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: John MacKenzie Date: 13 Nov 06 - 06:28 PM With a name like that you should go far! Giok |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 14 Nov 06 - 02:58 AM Andy MudGuard - OF COURSE!!! We've got a couple of other guests that night too, but if all else fails, you can share with Manitas and I'll bunk up with Skarpi. LTS |

Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: MudGuard Date: 16 Nov 06 - 02:37 AM Got my boss's signature on the "application for leave" for February 8th till February 13th. Flights are booked. Still waiting for an answer from Linda, master of Barholm ... If someone will organize Sunday dinner cooking, I am ready to help. Looking forward to meet y'all again! |

Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: Maryrrf Date: 16 Nov 06 - 02:17 PM I'll help with Sunday dinner too - but I'm not that good at organizing! Shall we form a committee? |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: Emma B Date: 16 Nov 06 - 02:23 PM How about a nut roast Mary? :) |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: Maryrrf Date: 16 Nov 06 - 02:43 PM There IS a way to make a cashew roast that substitutes for meat. But I don't know if the rest of the group would approve! |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: John MacKenzie Date: 16 Nov 06 - 07:11 PM Just bring a trailer load with you Mary, we'll find something to do with them I'm sure Giok |

Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: MudGuard Date: 17 Nov 06 - 01:42 AM Substitute meat? Hm. I prefer the true stuff ... Speaking about the true stuff: To get into the right mood for Portaferry, tonight I will get me a good helping of something I brought back from there after Loughstock Fourscore: some Feckin Irish Whiskey ... SussexCarole: I wish you come to Portaferry Only for nights in Fiddler's Green You could swim over the deepest ocean, For our love to find Though the sea is wide you still could cross over Or borrow easyjet's wings to fly I wish you could meet a handsome MudGuard at Portaferry, to love and die ;-) |

Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: Herge Date: 18 Nov 06 - 10:01 AM Hi all - hope to get down on the Sat with Jim the fiddle player from Larne and Gerry Rees - banjo player - who came along in 2005. Herge |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: Leadfingers Date: 18 Nov 06 - 10:42 AM Thats good news Herge - Especially as Gerry is an od mate from WAY back ! |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: Herge Date: 20 Nov 06 - 12:30 PM He certainly is od! |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: John MacKenzie Date: 20 Nov 06 - 12:36 PM And to rise in the world, sure he carried an od? |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: MudGuard Date: 20 Nov 06 - 01:59 PM As long as he isn't Odin ... ;-) |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: GUEST,mooman Date: 21 Nov 06 - 06:04 AM Sorry all... rarely come in these days... We won't make it this year. Hope you all have a great time in Portaferry. All the best, Richard |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: MudGuard Date: 21 Nov 06 - 06:27 AM Richard, that's bad news! Greetings and all the best to Pat and you! |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: Maryrrf Date: 21 Nov 06 - 07:24 AM We'll muss you, Richard! |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: John MacKenzie Date: 21 Nov 06 - 09:14 AM Your presence along with that of the lovely Lady McMoo will be sorely missed Richard. I can only hope that your circs change and you find you can join us after all, the door is always open. Giok |

Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: Brendy Date: 21 Nov 06 - 08:57 PM Not this year, I'm afraid, neither, Peter. I'm flying into Dub on the 11th Feb, but I'm making a B-Line for Clare the minute I collect the car. So you can tell Big Nigel (or whatever his name is), that the coast is clear... ;-) How's Richard... I'll be in touch soon. Have a goodun, Ladies & Gentlemen, and ask Jim to play that wee Paddy Canny jig (think it was in Gm) one more time for me.... All the best. B. |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: Brendy Date: 21 Nov 06 - 08:58 PM Will be in touch soon, too, Den ;-) B. |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 23 Nov 06 - 10:33 AM Glad you're alive and kicking Brendy. I've not seen much of Mudcat for a few months. We can't make it either. White Tiger is turning into a pretty good fiddler, but Feb 11th is her birthday, and she's committed to celebrating it in England, for reasons to do with her social life. (Can't remember if that means Keith or Philip or Dion or Nick or Stuart or Tom....) |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 23 Nov 06 - 10:39 AM Andy - are you doing pancakes again? I've managed to miss them every single time and I'm sorely jealous! Looks like dinner is being organised so bring your eatin' irons! How many will there be for Sunday Lunch at Barholme?? I need to calculate chocolate quantities. LTS |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: GUEST,from Skarpi at work Date: 23 Nov 06 - 10:55 AM Brendy .good to hear from you , peter sad you cant come . all the best Skarpi Iceland. |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: Leadfingers Date: 23 Nov 06 - 01:47 PM I think its about time for a head count at Barholme and Adairs ! I am at Barholme Friday night to Monday morning and will have a car from and back to the airport ! |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: MudGuard Date: 23 Nov 06 - 03:00 PM Liz, I never did pancakes - I only helped "My Guru always says" once, the other two times I was at Loughstock there were no pancakes (or they were hidden from me). I'll be there for Sunday Lunch. That means: double the quantity ;-) Liz, are you and Paul hiring a car? If so, I'll share ;-) Terry: I will be at Barholm Friday night to Monday morning as well. Btw, all people staying at Barholm: please order breakfast - Linda said she will only give ME breakfast if there are enough orders ... |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: Brendy Date: 23 Nov 06 - 03:29 PM Nice one, Skarpi; are you heading back home on the Monday morning? You should stick around for a few weeks, you know... the famous hat/cap should soak in a bit more of that good Co. Down air... ;-) Say hello to Rosa for me as well... Send me a PM with your normal e-mail addy, Peter, if you will; I'm not much around here, neither, and although there are many here who will testify to my tardiness in the fine art of the sent e-mail, having your addy makes the odds of an oul' bit of correspondence, drastically slighter on my account. Anybody thinking of hanging around for a week or so, should try and hit for the Donegal Gaeltacht. The sessions will be mighty, and the pubs will be warm - the perfect antedote to the shorter evenings, and the Atlantic gales. 'Tis there you'll find me...' After the few days in Clare, of course B. |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: Emma B Date: 23 Nov 06 - 03:35 PM Andy - I'm happy to include you in breakfast cooking any time.......well not TOO early that is :) |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: John MacKenzie Date: 23 Nov 06 - 04:46 PM Just don't let her near the door key Andy. Giok |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 23 Nov 06 - 05:00 PM Skarpi - if you should have a few of those hats to spare, bring them over, I'm sure we could find buyers for them... you could go into business with Skipjack importing them.... LTS |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: John MacKenzie Date: 23 Nov 06 - 05:07 PM You could become that hat fatcats! G |
|
Subject: RE: Loughstock, Norn Iron gathering 2007 From: Letty Date: 25 Nov 06 - 12:40 PM Sorry, I can't make any promises... Would love to go but: - low on funds - my car now only works when it's not raining (very funny in Ireland) - am desperately trying to finish my dissertation so I can be overeducated as well as unemployed. But I'll have to see nearer the date, even if it means sleeping in the car. Letty |
