Gainsborough Folk (and Beer) Festival is this coming weekend in the glorious surroundings of Gainsborough Old Hall. Sample the beer in the great hall or take it into the medieval kitchen (as seen on TV)for a session in front of a roaring fire or to listen to a concert in the lower great chamber.
A full programme can be found
here

So this "session in front of a roaring log fire" Sooz ?
Is there a bowl for the car keys or have I misinterpreted the intent...

Congratulations Tim, you are the first to comment on the ambiguity - I needed to put something in to see if you were all paying attention!

I'll be at the festival again this year staying with my lovely friends Geoff and Mo. I look forward to it each year; sure I'll try some of the real ale again.

I'll be arriving by train Friday so looking forward to meeting you all.

A quick bump to remind people to get there for another fine evening in Corringham with Flossie and John Blanks.

Flossie and John were both on Top form in Corringham - and so was everyone who appeared at the Old Hall during the day! Thanks to everyone who helped make it so successful.

That particular beer was NOT on offer, BWM!

Thanks for all the support, nice to see Beeries enjoying themselves in amongst the Folkies.

And as for the Beery Folkies - less said the better!. Hope they've stopped staggering this morning :-).

I've only spoken to you via the Blitherscrum madness, but please accept my sincere condolences on losing your dad. I hope his passing was peaceful for him and for you.

Thanks to all who organised, had a good time - though next time could there be a fire in both fireplaces in the mediaeval kitchens? It was freezing in there, which may explain why few people stayed long. Or it could have been me!

Thanks again Sue and Mike for a good weekend.

Thanks also to BBP, Gwenda & Terry, Keith, Scunthorpe Steve (who WILL delete those photos!),and any others involved in organising.

Thought the concert at Corringham was great, so many thanks to John and Flossie. Nice round-up to the day.

Great photos. We had a really good time, although we were a bit alarmed when we discovered our caravan was the only one on the campsite.

However, we were well looked after by one of the great unsung heroes of festivals "Dave the Hat".

Flossie was excellent, and we had a great time singing in the pub and the kitchen.

We should have had a 'Mudcat Corner' where we all could have introduced ourselves to one another. Disappointing to find out that there were 'Catters there, and I never knew.

Thanks for info Sooz, I'll put the 3rd weekend on my Fest list & hope to come & join the fun next year. Maybe I could help the festival next year & run a MudGather if anyone's interested?

Simmo has put loads of excellent quality videos up on YouTube. They range from the singarounds in the medieval kitchen to the Harley Davidson meet outside the Old Hall. Just put Gainsborough Folk Festival 2010 in the search box and take your pick!
