I won't be able to make it for the Friday night, due to running my own club.

However, I was thinking of coming up to Whitby for the week on the Saturday.

Befoer I book anything, can somebody please tell me if there is a Ceilidh and is it on the Saturday night and if so, where will it be held.

Likewise, if the Ceilidh, is on the Saturday, wher will the concert be held.

The reason I ask this, is that last year, the concert was held in a venue that was to small for all the people that wanted to get in.
I had bought a season ticket and couldn't get in, but people who had bought a concert ticket were going in.

There were quite a few of us pretty angry about this.

So I do not want to hire a cottage for the week, buy a season ticket and face the same problem again. Lot of money when you can't get in.

Shame - you'll miss some people called The Pipers Sons who are finishing the friday night ;-) (but you can always catch them at Chippenham, again finishing the friday)

As I understand it the friday concert is in the college, with the ceilidh in that same big room on the sat. Gigs in the friendship club (well, that's where the pipes are playing on sat aft), but I don't know about the evening cos I'll be on my way to Wath by then.

Muppitz - do you know?

Not sure who these bag-squeezers'-offsprings are, but here's a clue...

Tom Bliss - voice, guitar, mandocello, whistle, mandolin, dulcimer, concertina
Tom Napper - voice, mandolin, tenor banjo, octave mandolin, tenor guitar
Tony Taffinder - voice, guitar, bodhran, whistle, bouzouki, bass
Chris Parkinson - voice, accordion, melodeon, harmonica, percussion

Thats what i thought. Same as last year. The friendship is not big enough for a Saturday night concert. So if thats the case, I wont go at all.

When is Chippenham Tom, maybe I can get to see these Pipers Sons, if the missus will let me :-) Surprised you haven't included Lester Simpson and his bagpipes LOL

Anyway Muppitz is sure to know and aelfleda

The programme for the festival will be on line very shortly on
http://www.moorandcoast.co.uk/

The Ceilidh will be held on Saturday evening at the Whitby Comunity College and will be followed by a later event with The John Wright Band in Concert..

Other concerts will be held during the evening at the Friendship Rowing Club and aboard the Grand Turk" moored in the harbour. This should stop the problems we had last year with the Friendship venue being full..

You can email at [e-mail]

Cheers

Chippenham Festival

Again we're finishing the friday and an afternoon spot on the sat - tho Bunny* and me will be there all weekend

(*I'll leave it to muppitz to explain!)

Moor and Coast is a wonderful fest and highly recommended even if you prefer to give all pipers a wide birth (nb no pipes used in our gigs!)

A banjo-playing gentleman of my acquaintance has been known to outlast other musicians at late night sessions, for, like the duracel bunny, his batteries never run down. A certain waggette of this parish coined the nickname - or should that be napname?
