10 Mar 08 - 12:56 PM (#2284420) Subject: Old Dungeon Gill - Langdale From: BanjoRay From Monday till Thursday evenings next week I'll be taking my banjo to the Old Dungeon Gill to have some tunes with a fiddling friend from the Netherlands called Jan Vader. There could well be some other players as well. So if you fancy some good old tunes as relaxation after the Lake District hills, bring an instrument to the ODG and join us. Cheers Ray |

10 Mar 08 - 01:56 PM (#2284478) Subject: RE: Old Dungeon Gill - Langdale From: Les in Chorlton Ray, what an invitation! Good tunes and incredible pub and Langdale Valley. Do buses still run up the valley? people could camp I guess. If anybody has the time, drop in at the Church and Church Yard at Chapel Stile. William Irving is buried there - it says so on his tombstone. He was a Lakeland fiddler who worked and played in Langdale. He is the inspiration and source for many of the tunes on A Trip to the Lakes by the Boat Band. http://www.harbourtownrecords.com/boatband.htm http://www.harbourtownrecords.com/boatirwin.htm And while you wait get this excellent CCheers Les Who will be in Portugal but in Langdale in spirit |

Thanks for the tip about William Irving - I'll pay my respects. Langdale seems to be a good place for fiddlers - the Landlord of the ODG's a good fiddler as well - we'll have to try and get him out from behind the bar. Cheers Ray |

We went outside and sang. Also had a really good sing around one Sunday with a bunch of fox hunters somewhere near there. JohnB |

10 Mar 08 - 05:04 PM (#2284676) Subject: RE: Old Dungeon Gill - Langdale From: Les in Chorlton I would swap two Portugals for a Langdale, but seven wouldn't wash with the rest of the party. I will see if I can find a bar that will let me sing Oh Good Ale or some such song. have a good one. |
