What time is the concert on Saturday night, as I have just noted that my one and only godly football team Aston Villa are on Sky Sports on Saturday evening. They kick off at 5:15pm, so should be over by about 7:00pm.

Will need half an hour to get to TAC Gainsborough.

If the Villa win, then I will be in a great mood and ready for an excellent evenings entertainment.

Thanks Mark, I thought the voice was OK, but the guitar sounded nervous and a bit 'electric' - hopefully it sounded more 'acoustic' through the PA on the night? :-)

I intend to put the lyrics on my site also (with proper credit to the author!), plus a sound-clip from the demo (which is infinitely better than the live recording from the finals night - D'oh!).

Strollin try this

to put an acute accent on the letter 'e'

Hold down the Alt key on your keyboard and type one of the following numbers on your Numeric keypad (not the numbers along the top of the keyboard)and then let the Alt key go. Your letter should appear.

é = Alt 130
ë = Alt 137
è = Alt 138

The numbers are ASCII codes

here is a link to the ASCII code table ASCII tables
The dec column is the ASCII number and the red character are what you get. Look at the Extended ASCII codes table at the bottom of that web page.

Hope this works when I post it :-)

Thank You Gainsbrough.
You ran a Festival to be proud of !
We had a really special weekend thanks to all the hard work you put in.
Probably starting just as last years festival ended.
We have been made to feel a real part of everything and we reckon you are all great people.
The Music was of course superb throughout.
The workshops were all great (Duncan I would rather listen to you play than myself any day)
I have had a guitar lesson from a guy who's splaying I admire very much.
I had a friendly chat with a guy who can carve an image in your heart with his lyrics.
We saw JK's new haircut and the healthiest looking SJ we have seen for ages.
Saw the professionalism of The Caters and heard loads of fantastic new (to us) songs and tunes, performed in great surroundings by people of all sizes shapes and ages.
All performing the music they love and want to share.
This is gonna sound very OTT but we have laughed and cried and all by the power of your music.
So thank you all and can we come next year please?
TA you guys are the tops thank you so very much for all your kindness and hospitality.
Cheers all of you.

Hark who's talking Pwitz. I can remember what you did for a living. Fancy someone in your position telling all those rude jokes when someone as innocent as me is listening. Seriously, that was a car number seen on one of the Greek Islands.I can't help it if you misunderstood my intentions (tongue in cheek!!!!!!)By the way Paul, I was very impressed with your contribution to the concert yesterday afternoon.Great stuff. Keep it up.

Wish I could have come to more of the weekend. Thanks for all those who worked hard organising and being involved/playing etc. There is so much work involved in that sort of event, to make it run as smoothly as it appeared to be doing! Thanks for the guided tour, too, Sooz!
Cheers!

It was a pleasure Rockhen - we are proud of our venues as well as passionate about our music!

You have every reason to be proud, I had forgotten what an amazing place, G old Hall was... and so near. Will be bring my family round again before long. I love this county and am also passionate about my music...so it was brilliant to chance to share music with others. Thanks to you all, for all your hard work.
Yuck...the way I put that sounds a bit sickly,.....soz, but thanks Sooz and everyone else, anyway!

It was lovely to see you at the festival Rockhen. You are certainly a part of our big, happy family. Fantastic weekend wasn't it. Hope you enjoyed George's songwriting workshop and learned as much from it as I did.
Gwenda.

I'm compliling a summary of the festival with the good and bad points about each separate event so we can improve next year. Any contributions gratefully received either on this thread or by PM.

Excellent photo's.

I particularly like the photo taken by John Blanks of Flossie on stage at the Trinity Arts Centre, with the Gainsborough Folk Festival banner.

I'm worried about George, thought he'ld stopped all that nonsense.


That was no bed of straw

Hi Breezeblock.
George sang with the band on Can't Go There, Woodshed Boys, Boys of Bedlam, Robin Hoods Bay and Bed of Straw.
George and Duncan also finished off the Sunday concert together with Bed of Straw and Friends Like These.
(I think the last pic on the link up above shows 'em mid Bed of Straw).
It was, as we old hippies say, a gas!
Hugs - Dunc
