13 May 08 - 05:20 PM (#2339629) Subject: RE: York Folk W/E 31st May /1st of June From: stallion ah "free and easy session" probably refers to a format which is not unsimiliar to the tap and spile on a friday night, with musos and singers sharing a session |

28 May 08 - 02:33 PM (#2351228) Subject: RE: York Folk W/E 31st May /1st of June From: Bloke in the Corner Quite fancy a good play this weekend, haven't had one since Brigg fiddle fest. Can I take it that the Bowes room and the Wolfe room are in the Black Swan? Does it get very crowded on the Saturday lunchtime? I'll be there for about twelve - hope a few others will do the early bird shift. It's my first time playing in York, though I have had the pleasure of playing with Mr Jarey (Sp?) at a ceilidh. I understand this is his home territory, hope to twang a few chords to his concertina tunes. See you there Lawrie |
28 May 08 - 03:15 PM (#2351257) Subject: RE: York Folk W/E 31st May /1st of June From: Nick The two rooms are in the Black Swan. The session room is pretty much packed from start to well into the evening but especially 12 - 5. Solid wall to wall tunes. I'd guess 10-15 fiddles, similar number of mandos, assorted guitars, one bass player (!), assorted boxes and concertinas. Good fun and I'll probably be there myself at some time to strum a chord or two or create a bit of chaos as I practice my mandolin (the music is loud enough that I won't be heard) Michael is a cracking player though I'm not sure if I have particularly seen him in the sessions on the folk day there over the last few years - I think he fets involved with sound and stuff. |
28 May 08 - 07:26 PM (#2351515) Subject: RE: York Folk W/E 31st May /1st of June From: stallion Nick, my dear fellow, we were hoping you and "'er indoors" would be helping out in the singaround. It is Michael Jary, on his little squeezy thing. I shall look forward to renewing aquaintences' and meeting new folk. Any Mudcatters please do introduce yourselves. (let you puzzle out how to find me!) Pete |
28 May 08 - 07:48 PM (#2351529) Subject: RE: York Folk W/E 31st May /1st of June From: Nick Pete I'll see you on Saturday afternoon somewhere I would guess. I won't be there on Sunday as I'm playing at Tollerton Arts and Garden Festival from 1 till 4 with two bands I play in. |
