15 Feb 09 - 07:20 AM (#2567349) Subject: Folklore: MudGather Crediton UK 24-26th April 2009 From: My guru always said Well those lovely lads from Alhambra (Pete & John) are trying to program in another MudGather at the Crediton Folk Weekend 2009, Hoorah!!! Chatting to John yesterday we were thinking about times and there are 2 possibilities this year. We normally try for Saturday tea-time which is usually when we don't clash with too much in the way of concerts etc, so we are thinking about that. But it looks like there will be so much going on at Crediton (loads of really good guests to hear & sing with) that it might be better to programme the MudGather for the Sunday lunchtime before the Pirates Feast! It would be at the Half Moon as usual, but definitely in the large back room as we 'came a cropper' last year when so many people turned up, and people coming in out of the rain. Saturday tea-time would be about 2 hours squeezed in between concerts (clashing a bit too) and we wouldn't be able to over-run as they'd need set-up time. Sunday lunchtime would depend on their opening time and we'd have at least 2 hours before people need to set up for the Feast, but it looks like the best possibility to me! Obviously we're in John's hands, he's already involved in the programming jigsaw puzzle, but it would be nice to get your opinions so I can give hime some feedback apart from just my own! I'll send him a link to this thread & maybe he'll drop in sometime when he has a spare moment. What do Catters think? And who's coming? |

16 Feb 09 - 03:27 PM (#2568481) Subject: RE: Folklore: MudGather Crediton UK 24-26th April 2009 From: My guru always said Well spotted Rafflesbear, though I must admit I'm fairly used to it being called 'Crediton' despite it being held at Cheriton Fitzpaine for the past couple of years. I've not been attending very long but I know it started at Crediton originally and has moved around to at least two other local towns/villages before its current location. I was just chatting to John Lee and he explained that they felt it was better to keep the original name than to change it each time they changed location, continuity I guess! Anyway, you certainly haven't upset me and I hope I haven't confused anyone *grin* So, who else is coming to Cheriton Fitzpaine? |

John & Pete are working on the running order which is probably mostly sorted now, but as I recall they don't put it up on the web-page so you'll need a programme! |

Crediton was lovely (as usual), it rained (as usual) and I reckon we sank a few beers between us *grin* And yes, the food at both churches was marvellous!!! I thoroughly enjoyed doing a couple of sets & there were a lot of very talented singers and musicians there too. Many thanks to all who came to the MudGather (sorry you had to go early Kitty), thankfully it wasn't as chaotic as last year's. I think it worked better being on the Sunday lunchtime especially as I was able to go to concerts almost all day Saturday. Stanley Accrington popped in for a look but had disappeared before I managed to pass him the pirate hat! So, here's the Register: my guru always said JudeL TF2 Soupdragon Mr & Mrs Scarecrow Merek'n'Dary (both of them) Peter K RWJ Geordie Carole Andrea (not sure Andrea is a registered Catter or a Guest) Grace Note (don't think you've changed it to GraceofBase yet) Two of a Hind (both of them) Richard Atkins Pollycarton Guest, Eddie Guest, Stanley Accrington (may I suggest the name of 'the anagrammatist) Guest, John Matthews Guests, Parker & Watts & the lovely Hazel Guest, Graeme Knights Guest, Terry H And those also at the Festival: Herga Kitty & the Horologist Cap'n'Ella (both of them) Jock o' dreams North/South Annie Buddug MalcBedworth GillBedworth Wuzzle Tug the Cox Apologies to all I've missed, go on, let me know I missed you!
