Sorry - have to leave this thread now to go and play some songs.

(Probably with Maggie, Martin and Tony - great people who will be there at the Staithes Weekend.)

Glad you enjoyed it.

Any chance of you telling us what a 'proper' singer is.After all, you introduced the term not me.

Why does it take 'guts' to have a debate?

Are you now making threats to my personal safety?

I remarked on your obsession with one performer and you have consistently come back with insults. Sadly , this attitude is becoming common on mudcat lately.

Still, I'm probably not a 'proper' singer like Martin, Maggie, Sean, Mary, Dennis etc. etc. (Oops, and CAROL)

"Pity your enjoyment was marred by us NON 'proper' singers (whatever a proper singer is)."
One who has the guts to use a name when picking an arguement?
Also it is very difficult to maintain a dialogue on here with any one except those who can be arsed to join in.
Welcome as you have now found the time and inclination.
I enjoyed all the music and singing that I managed to hear in the pubs,in the street,in our tent and in the hut later on.
Met loads of great folks and enjoyed the comments re my own efforts as they were mostly kind and generous.
I enjoyed being allowed to get me bodrhan out and join in a bit with the Guys from the Twa Dogs .
Had the priviledge of a guitar lesson from Dave who played a Davy Graham classic beautifully.
Laughed till I ached thanks to Mr Leonard and his funnies.
Bought cds and still play them when I get the chance.
Learned how to play with two fingers with another great bloke who I think was called Martin.
Met a lady Bass player who made us welcome among her many friends.
(and let us play at a club she MCs in Stokesly and Guisbro on other occassions)
Heard Ian and his lovely Lowdon box for the first time.
some great whistle playing,fantastic dialect songs and generally had a whale of a time.
Carol sang some great songs as did many others who I never learned the names of.
But then I didnt have the priviledge of hearing them again yet as we did with Carol.
The late nigths /early mornings in the hut were brilliant and the weather was mostly excellent.
I hope to have as much fun this year too.
As I am sure the rest of the attendees will too.

Never mentioned you saying anything detrimental about anyone else - just that you keep on raving about Carol when there were many artists who were really, really excellent. As I said, NO-ONE was head and shoulders above the rest which is what made the week-end great. My name doesnt come in to the equation as I don't want you raving about how good/bad I was. Lets talk about the weekend and leave it at that.
(BTW what is a 'proper' singer?)

While you are online Come for a listen to a great new charity cd!
Even Proper Folkies may find something to their taste on this cd.
If you do go listen and like what you hear,get in touch and we will see about gettin some posted out to you.
They are £5 a go and worth a listen.

So were is the bit were I said any thing detrimental about anyone else?
I think it is a huge shame that you choose to attack the two people who have taken the time and trouble to keep this great musical event in the list of threads so that others may see it and decide to come along to have a good time.
Still you are entitled to your opinion I guess I will look forward to meeting you there.
BTW what is your name?

Tim - quotes from your posts
'Carol is of course a huge bonus to hear at any event'

'There are proper folkies like Carol'

'Carol has there been any more info re seperate sessions for you proper singers?'

'Hi Carol really looking forward to hearing you and the other singers again.
Take care of that voice'

'the singing is all great as you can surmise by the fact that Carol will be there too make it great again'

'Although It would be brilliant to sit listening to Carol all the time I am afraid she will be much interupted by many other great performers'

Yes I was there & enjoyed lots of nice friendly people - there was no 'super star' guests & although Carol may be a wonderful singer she obviously did not stand out as requiring special attention - despite your 'toadying'. I have spoken to lots of people who were there and no-one knows who you are talking/raving about. Giving some performers 'Elite' status detracts from the FOLK who make this sort of festival worth attending!
My apologies to Carol as no offence is intended.
As to your insults about medication ..........sad, sad, sad!
(Carol - beware stalkers)

Tut tut tut!
I well maybe you could point out were exactly I posted any such thing
about the rest of the performers at the last staithes do.
I expect youhave just misunderstood my meaning at some point.
Maybe were feeling a little bored and neglected or ran out of your medication unexpectedly.
If however you were a performer at last years I do thank you for your most enjoyable contribution,as we enjoyed everything on that occasion and I hope you are feeling better by the time the next one gets here.
Meanwhile thank you for helping to keep this thread so well up in the list.

I presume that when the singaround gets to your spot you will hand it to Carol (whoever she is) to sing another as you are so enthralled by her. Pity your enjoyment was marred by us NON 'proper' singers (whatever a proper singer is).

Better still, why not book her for a private singaround and let the rest of us enjoy a mixture of styles. Thats the idea behind Staithes weekend.

Hey steady on Carol !
I mean its ok to put up with non Catters who are already there.
No one can blame you for that.
But its a bit much coming out and admiting you actualy have freinds who are'nt like us.
I mean dont get me wrong,some of my best freinds are, well not even musicians(gulp!) but both They and myself are happier when they know their place.
It doesnt do to let them get too familiar.

There was a jazz band last year.
But I think it is a resident band at one of the pubs rather than specialy for the folkies!
My Mrs will be going as well as a ton of people who are,it seems not participants on the excellent mudcat.
Although It would be brilliant to sit listening to Carol all the time I am afraid she will be much interupted by many other great performers.
And us!
I didnt catch the Jazz band as was at another venue taking part in a mixed session singaround.
Can we hope you will be going to make a third?

Dear previously known as.
Hope the weather is very good for you and that the balaclave is not needed.
If it is nippy over there perhaps you may take the risk of being thought french onboard, and wear socks with your sandals.
Myself I would choose sensible shoes and hope for finer weather later in the week.

The venue is none smoking and the beer wasnt bad.
The company is of a high calliber and the singing is all great as you can surmise by the fact that Carol will be there too make it great again.
(oooh me knees are gonna be so sore)
It is a lovely place to spend a few days and the listening is good.

Hi Mike apparently bunk house accomodation is also available!

Hi Carol...long time no see, hope you are well. Think the last time we met was at Brandy Wharf last year. I would certainly enjoy it if the weather is good, but getting a bit past the 'tenting in the rain' thing I guess. Like to feel comortable these days.
Do love singarounds though, although have not been taking part much lately......might resurrect a few of the what are now oldies that I used to sing and see if I can remember the words.
Best wishes, Mike.,

Sounds great. Lots of playing and singing appeals to me.

I don't live too far away so should be able to get along to some of the sessions, but not all (family and all that - July 19th is my wedding anniversary!) so knowing what is on when would be useful.

I have put this in my tracer so I can pick it up nearer the time and can email Tony for more info.

I dont think Tony has a web site for this event.
If there is one for the Loftus fc you may find details there.
If the format is the same or similar to last year
yOu come along to play and or listen session in one or two pubs in the Am.
Lunch sessions in pubs in afternoons
Tea time
Evening sessions
Kicking out time at pubs
Into the early hours with sessions in large hut on camp site.
There were no booked acts last year and I assume same this year from info at top of thread.
you need stamina and to be willing to enjoy yourselves and meet new people
It is brilliant.
How the devil is the lovely Maggie Gee?

There must be something for everyone somewhere going on.
Carol has there been any more info re seperate sessions for you proper singers?
I thought it sounded like a good idea until I realised there may be several great things on at once in different locations and I am a right clutz when it comes to being that organised.
I hope we are not gonna miss a real proper singing sing around.
Or that at least you will join in the general sing around as well.

Re F&C we enjoyed ours in the little place down at the sea front.
Being from Grimsby we are a bit spoiled for choic round here and the ones nearest the camp site were alittle disappointing the day we tried them.
It is a great weekend if you like your music unplugged and in great variety.
There were a good few "Proper" singers and everyone was really kind and generous with advice and nice comments to us lesser types who are trying to learn to play and sing.
Actualy I cant imagine that there could be a nicer bunch of folkies all in one place.
Oh except at Faldingworth live or Gainsbro FC or actualy we always seem to meet nice folkies at all the clubs we visit.
SO Staithes is a good chance to spend longer getting to know people.
We heard some fantastic music though it is such a thrill to be allowed to play in same venue as people You would expect to be doing gigs of there own.
