17 Sep 12 - 04:46 AM (#3406011) Subject: RE: Bull Bay Free Folk Weekend Sep 21-23 From: folkorbit "How!" John Maybe occasional "Squaw(ll)s" and not the time to go "Running Bare" especially with my "Paw-nee" but "Chief(ly)" the "Spirit in the Sky" say "Shy-Ann" get "Pale Face" in this weather. No! only kidding, I speak with "Fork Tongue" The Bull Bay Folk Weekend will see a fabulous Indian Summer and we will all end up with "Red Skins". I think this calls for some weekend music from across the pond. Colin |
19 Sep 12 - 06:22 AM (#3407218) Subject: RE: Bull Bay Free Folk Weekend Sep 21-23 From: Mr Happy Only 3 days to go! We're hoping to be there earlyish Friday afternoon so's to maybe squeeze in an extra sesh |
19 Sep 12 - 10:06 AM (#3407308) Subject: RE: Bull Bay Free Folk Weekend Sep 21-23 From: Mo the caller Every time I look at the Ten Day Forecast it has one of the days horribly wet - it seems to be a random different day each time. I looked on Mon, it said 48mm rain on Wed week. looked yesterday, said wet on Sun, today it gives a dryish weekend but 51 mm rain on Tues. So I guess thats a "changeable and unpredictable" then. Enjoy it, those who are going. |
