13 Oct 07 - 08:26 AM (#2170215) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Sooz Thanks Al. We have a bit of competition this year with the World Cup final on Saturday night. The postal strike is bad news for ticket sales as well..... Still, I'm going to enjoy myself! |

13 Oct 07 - 01:39 PM (#2170372) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Lowden Jameswright Looking forward to our first visit - anyone recommend a B&B for Sat night? |
|
13 Oct 07 - 02:34 PM (#2170408) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Rasener Do you want to be in gainsborough itself, so you don't have to drink and drive, or are you prepared to be a little outside of Gainsborough? |

15 Oct 07 - 04:49 AM (#2171370) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Big Al Whittle is there any craft fair or anything like that in the old hall? |
|
15 Oct 07 - 12:33 PM (#2171619) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Sooz There will be stalls (hardly enough in number to call it a craft fair!) CDs, soaps, jewellery, paintings and pottery. |

15 Oct 07 - 01:14 PM (#2171653) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Rasener Isn't Mr Sooz selling his wares? |

15 Oct 07 - 04:19 PM (#2171806) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: GUEST,Mark Addison Just to let you know that there are are two huge Rugby Union fans in Byard's Leap...at least on the England Team side..but we'd still rather be on stage with you all...or in the play along session beforehand. Looking forward no end to this weekend (Though will admit to having videos set - don't tell us the result!) |
|
15 Oct 07 - 06:23 PM (#2171890) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Big Al Whittle I always think there is something homo-erotic about rugby fans. They make the ball that shape - just so they can keep dropping it, and bending down in front of each other to pick it up. Anyone who would watch rugby instead of enjoying folk music is a bit strange and wants watching, in my opinion. |
|
16 Oct 07 - 01:26 PM (#2172437) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: BusyBee Paul To misquote Eddie Waring: It's an under and up - back to the top! (Before you lot start - I'm talking about getting thread back up to the top of the heap - so calm down!) |

Well would they? >>It's an under and up - back to the top!<< I will resist lowering the tone, but it begs an answer :-) |

16 Oct 07 - 03:17 PM (#2172497) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Rasener Well I can say that I will be there on Saturday and i will be giving 2 matches up. The first is Aston Villa V Manchester United The second England V South Africa If I can give those up in the interests of Folk, then there is no excuse for anybody else. |

17 Oct 07 - 02:48 AM (#2172759) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Rasener Who else is going? |
|
17 Oct 07 - 03:20 AM (#2172764) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Lowden Jameswright I'm giving up my Sheffield United season ticket for a trip down to the festival - would have been going anyway but Bryan Robson has made it much less painful for me |

17 Oct 07 - 04:47 AM (#2172799) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Big Al Whittle I've got my sister and brother in law over from Cornwall for the weekend. We wondered about taking them to see the Old Hall at Gainsborough - if theres a few stalls for them to look at and a few floorsingers to listen to - we could have some cake and capucinno and get wet. I'm not sure theres anybody that really floats my boat concert wise - my brother in law's a Steeleye Span fanatic - I'm not sure theres much for him. Ken Nicol or Bert Jansch would do it. |
|
17 Oct 07 - 04:55 AM (#2172803) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Big Al Whittle Or there are cheaper alternatives like Steve Hicks and Tristan Seume - you know - really shit hot guitarists. |
|
17 Oct 07 - 05:39 AM (#2172822) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Sooz Al, it isn't going to rain! I think you will like Rik Palieri who is on on Saturday afternoon. The evening concert promises to be absolutely brilliant. |
|
17 Oct 07 - 06:47 AM (#2172843) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Big Al Whittle Sooz, if its important to you that it doesn't rain - I'd better stay away. It always rains when I go to Gainsborough. The Almighty sees me set off down the A1 and unzips his flies...... |

17 Oct 07 - 08:04 AM (#2172881) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Rasener ROTFLMAO Well I just had a look at the 5 day forcast for Gainsborough and this is what it looks like Gainsborough 5 day forecast Lets hope they are right and you are wrong Big Al with your Prediction |

17 Oct 07 - 08:52 AM (#2172911) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Big Al Whittle I can see you doubt the efficacy of my weather predictions. I will do my best to persuade the family to come and bring your sou'westers! |

17 Oct 07 - 09:02 AM (#2172919) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Lowden Jameswright If you've not seen Anthony John you should definitely be there WLD - and I'd appreciate some shithot percussion for accompaniment - bring your bongos |

17 Oct 07 - 09:29 AM (#2172938) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Big Al Whittle seeen him and his droves of fans (which must mean something). obviously a nice guy. bit too nice for me. I like people who bite and shout gratuitous insults. Or like leadbelly (another one they never book) who used to kill people now and then. PS I have bongos, but I'm not really a drummer. Its a reference to Paul brady's most famous song. |

17 Oct 07 - 02:18 PM (#2173114) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Rasener Mr Sooz actually spoke on Radio Lincolnshires Folk Programme tonight. Well done Tom Lane for making him talk LOL :-) |

19 Oct 07 - 03:10 AM (#2174223) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Sooz The Old Hall tea room is excellent (and quite a lot warmer than the rest of the building!) I've just heard the weather forecast and it is very good (whatever Mr Whittle promises.) |

19 Oct 07 - 09:52 AM (#2174454) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Keefy What's with all these negative waves about temperature and weather? The forecast is good, and anyway... Who cares what the heavens do when friends have a sunny disposition and their welcome is warm. When the songs bring a hot flush and the dancing soothes the heart. When a happy smile is a picture and fun is being had all around you. Drink and be merry, eat and be happy, sing and be free 'cos monday it's back to...??? |

22 Oct 07 - 10:05 AM (#2176410) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Lowden Jameswright Many congratulations and thanks to Sue, Mike, Les, John, Keith & Co for all your hard work at the weekend - our first visit to your festival; it was a very enjoyable weekend, and the weather you ordered was perfect - you must be well in there! Looking forward to visits to your folk club and also acoustic sessions at the Beckett - will need to repeat the whiskey tasting session too as I appear to be acquiring the taste. I should have known Lincolnshire folk were particularly friendly - my Grandfather came from your neck of the woods (or is it backwoods John?) and he was a real gem. Bless you all - see you soon |

22 Oct 07 - 11:34 AM (#2176474) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Rasener Lowden I really enjoyed your floorspot Friday night and your gob iron playing :-) Very nice to have met you and your wife. How were the B&B's? Les |
|
22 Oct 07 - 11:44 AM (#2176479) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: Lowden Jameswright They were tops Les - added to the magic of the weekend, thanks. I owe Dierdre a drink for the tip. The whiskey & chocolate nightcap with Sooz & Mike and breakfast with Bram was very relaxed and entertaining; further confirming what we said on Saturday - it's all about the folk you meet. Take care - see you soon Jim |

22 Oct 07 - 11:50 AM (#2176486) Subject: RE: Gainsborough (UK) Folk Festival From: BusyBee Paul Mr Jameswright - I look forward to taking you up on that drink soon.
