28 Mar 09 - 09:48 AM (#2599205) Subject: RE: 4thEasterMudFolk PeakDistrict:Come on! From: terrier Will there be a list of 'banned' songs available so as not to incur the terrible wrath of the Landlord this year? 8~). Are you doing a 'performers hiring fair', if so, do I have to book? Also it would be usefull to know before hand if any musical styles are frowned on, ie Strumming the guitar or flat picking, or playing Irish music 'too fast'. Are piano accordions still frowned upon or do melodeon players still get stroppy when you don't play in "their key"? Life is so complicated these days! See ya' soon :) |

29 Mar 09 - 10:54 AM (#2599792) Subject: RE: 4thEasterMudFolk PeakDistrict:Come on! From: Mr Happy Song suggestions: Possibly 'The Fields of Ath' or 'The Fields of Rye' but not both together!! Re- Hiring Fair: Pass applications to Mr Happy in his consulting rooms either in large blue on campsite or otherwise Room 3,3 Stags Heads Inn. A small fee is applicable = a double gin, whisky, vodka or other beverage of Mr Happy's choice. Concessions for unwaged, disabled etc: Just a single of above will suffice! |

02 Apr 09 - 06:51 AM (#2602925) Subject: RE: 4thEasterMudFolk PeakDistrict:Come on! From: Mr Happy Following discussions with the Gloom Band at our Gloomaround session last night, it's been decided that the main strike force will depart for the deepest depths of darkest Derbyshire sometime on Good Friday, 10th April, rather than on the Thursday as previously thought. The logic behind this decision being that the pub won't be open 'til Friday. |
