11 Mar 12 - 04:36 PM (#3321411) Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: GUEST, Poxicat I imagine that now that Bluesman has announced his intention to be there with his friends from the Todenkopf SS, ticket sales will slow down. |

20 Mar 12 - 05:18 AM (#3325590) Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Richard Bridge I understand Poxicat perfectly. A general reading of "Bluesman" posts should elucidate, but express clarification would breach one of Max's rules. |

20 Mar 12 - 07:56 AM (#3325638) Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Merek'n'Dary OK we see some of you might be worried. All we know is that the Song at Banbury & Ale has always been a warm peaceable gathering and will continue to be so! D&M |

20 Mar 12 - 08:47 PM (#3325999) Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: GUEST,Seayaker My guess is that Guest Bluesman won't be anywhere near Banbury that weekend. I think that he is a troll and a flamer who just gets off on rattling the Mudcat cage. No comment is the best response; just use the thread to publicise the Banbury Folk and Ale. |

20 Mar 12 - 09:05 PM (#3326011) Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Richard Bridge The stench from Bluesman on the other thread just keeps getting worse. I would have suggested that a certain banner (somewhat similar to "Rock against Racism" but not exactly the same) be widely flown at Banbury. |

20 Mar 12 - 09:20 PM (#3326024) Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: GUEST,Seayaker On the other thread it's obvious that he is just poking a stick. Ignore him......discuss Banbury!! |

Lets hope that this wonderful Spring weather continues throughout April although nothing would surprise me ..... we did have snow at the Song & Ale weekend one year! Cheers! D&M |

23 Apr 12 - 04:25 AM (#3342009) Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Hamish Splendid! A thoroughly enjoyable couple of days on any one of a number of levels. Great singarounds, huge choruses, fine company and beer. And four* of the five surprise guests I saw were blinkin' good, too, including an absolutely sublime rendition of Pity Poor Felons on Saturday night. (Who were that trio? Magical.) Thanks Derek, Mary and all the crew for a fine do. Cheers, Hamish *Yes, I'm afraid I have to mention Folk Law who were simply awful. |
|
23 Apr 12 - 04:51 AM (#3342014) Subject: RE: Banbury Song & Ale 2012 April 20-22 From: Acorn4 Bartram, Brookes and Weatherall were the trio. I agree it was certainly a great version of the song. The one sung around these parts doesn't seem to have the "in prison lie" line in the chorus. |
