23 Apr 09 - 05:49 PM (#2617272) Subject: RE: Girvan Folk Festival From: Matthew Edwards I'm glad we've established where Girvan is at any rate; I'd love to come but I have an unbreakable prior engagement at my mother's 80th birthday party that weekend. Good luck to you Kathy; I tried to look up the lyrics to your Willie Scott song Boys O Boys but Google asked me instead if I meant to search for "boys on boys" and offered me some extremely interesting websites to look at! It seems a long time since Rod Stradling reviewed Kathy's songs on the Kyloe CD Borderers and expressed the hope that there might be more to come. I sincerely hope so. Enjoy the festival!

04 May 09 - 04:57 PM (#2624154) Subject: RE: Girvan Folk Festival From: Diva It was a mighty weekend. Great to catch up with old pals and make new ones. The singing was subline, first time I've heard Timm Lyons and he was wonderful. Lionel Mclelland a pal of many years singng up a storm, Maire Chiffmine the storyteller who is a fine singer too. Colin Macalister in fine fettle. Brian Peters who was superb...go see his Child Ballads presentation. The mego star of Trunch...Sid Kipper I laughed so much I was sore. Only got to a couple of sessions but they were grand And......it was my very first guest booking at a festival........ |

04 May 09 - 06:22 PM (#2624215) Subject: RE: Girvan Folk Festival From: Diva I hope so too....it was fine once I got over the nerves, which were chronic I had a rare time and sung myself nearly hoarse, I sounded like Lily Savage on Sunday morning but thats cos I insisted in singing bass in the late session which was an eclectic mix of songs and tunes, was dying to sing Jesus on the mainline but couldnt remember the words.... well it was about 2ish am.... Hope your ma had a good birthday party |
