16 Dec 13 - 10:24 AM (#3584576) Subject: Blitherscrum Festival 2014 A new start! From: Georgiansilver Some new people have PM'd me re the directions for getting to Blitherscrum but sadly I have a map and it doesn't show Blitherscrum on it....so:- I assume all UK members know where Birmingham is..........well it's nowhere near there so that's a start. It is so easy to get to! Turn left at the 'Beastie and the Pig' and go about four miles before turning right at the 'Crab and Organ'. Take the fork in the road a you might need it to eat with if we are short at camp. Left again at the 'Nude and voyeur' and immediate left following the sign which says 'Blitherscrum Folly'.....This road takes you direct to the campsite which you can't miss as the sign outside says 'DEAD END'.....which I hope doesn't put too many off. Any further difficulties please phone me at Naffhall 121212.... The committee has already met with a view to discussing who to invite for the main performances next year but have reached no conclusions yet...... well...... actually they had a few drinks..... and a few more and so on until they were eventually unable to come to any sort of decision anyway.... so a further meeting is planned. Suggestions please as to which performers to invite or re-invite if they have ben before. |

However, either is the way that they settle on the date each year. I'm told that Blitherscrum will always be on The seventh weekend after the third equinox of the year when Uranus is showing. Why can't they have something simpler like, for example, The sixth weekend in June? |

From: Harmonium Hero Vic: If people knew when it was, it would give them a sporting chance of making other arrangements, which would never do.... Regarding suggestions for guests; we at Folk Bandwagon Agency represent some of the finest Pseud-Folk acts in the country (and quite a few in the town as well), including : Rick O'Shea and The Bouncers Robin Getz and The Thieving Bastards Claude Balls and The Lion Tamers Jacques Hughes and The Prosecutors. and many more.

Only when they start asking for money will we know it's the real thing. |

Did you actually mean Steel Ice Band? It's a famous Scottish group, or so I understand. Georgiansilver, thank you for the directions. Be sure to tell the committee to put up 2 or 3 of those signs which point to several other villages but never reveal where the reader (and the sign itself) are at the present time. Of course, Blitherscrum won't be on the signs, since it isn't a village, it's a state of mind. |

Simply send your money to me, and I will pass it on - you don't need to ask who to, this is all 'Kosher'. The address is Pte. Teare, Smugglers' cove, Cayman. (that's a small island just off the coast close to Blitherscrum; it's where their bank is located). Incidentally, I notice the name Dodd Gee - obviously made up on the spot. It does, however, remind me of two gentlemen I knew about twenty years ago; a Mr Dodd and a Mr Gee. They ran a used car business back then, called Dodd-Gee Motors. It suddenly closed down, and I haven't heard of them since. Come to think of it, it was located not too far from Blitherscrum. Mind you, I have heard it said that you can't be too far from Blitherscru, John Ke..er...Pte. Teare |

21 Dec 13 - 01:18 PM (#3585860) Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Festival 2014 A new start! From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Again IMPORTANT BREAKING NEWS; The following has just come through on the carrier pigeon. No, not the pigeon that got eaten by the cat. The other one. "Blitherscrum Folk Festival Committee has very generously and wisely agreed to offer a discount of 2.5% to all ticket holders who will be willing to dig the sink holes needed to drain the flood water on the festival site. Particpants must bring their own shovels. A prize will be given to the person who digs the deepest hole." Sounds like they mean business this year. Remember that time when the sewage flooded the bar and got into the beer kegs? Everyone said how nice it was to have a beer you could taste for a change. |

23 Dec 13 - 05:21 AM (#3585956) Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Festival 2014 A new start! From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Yet Again MORE IMPORTANT BREAKING NEWS. Turns out that the festival committee has just woken up to the fact that there's a big revival of ye ancient local carols. Accordingly they have been in contact with Professor Fergus O'Fungus who has been researching the Blitherscrum carols. He has agreed to hold a series of workshops over Saturday and Sunday of the festival. These will culminate in a concert on the Sunday night, after everyone has gone home. 'catters may be interested to know that, in accordance with other local carol traditions, most of Blitherscrum's celebrate local landmarks and scenes of great natural beauty. Be prepared for such gems as "Sewage Farm", "Effluent Pump" and "Cow Pat". And of course there's that glorious contrapuntal gem, "Here Lies the Grave Of Knocking Shop Nelly". |

23 Dec 13 - 06:19 AM (#3585960) Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Festival 2014 A new start! From: Vic Smith Like many leading folk festivals, Blitherscrum has had to take a more cross-cultural approach to pull in the punters these days. This is strongly reflected in the names that have just been announced to headline the 2014 line-up:- THE MUDDY WATERSONS (Chicago Electric Blues with a strong Yorkshire leaning ) DICK GAUGAIN (Polynesian/Scottish post-impressionist painter ballads) PUFFING BILLY BRAGG (Left-wing political songs for early steam railway enthusiasts) HORATIO NELSON MANDELA (An anti-apartheid look at the Battle of Trafalgar) STRICTLY COME MORRIS DANCING (English ritual dancing re-packaged for Saturday evening peak-hour television) CHEL-SEA SHANTIES (Authentic football shanties collected at Stamford Bridge) CECIL SHARP PRACTICES (A seminar for businessmen on the dodgy and tax-avoiding deals found in English folk song) |

23 Dec 13 - 06:49 AM (#3585965) Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Festival 2014 A new start! From: GUEST,Fred McCormick The Muddy Watersons. Are they the ones who sing "My Home Is In The Hull Delta, Right By The Rolling Fork" in four part harmony? I gather they also do "Strolling and Stumbling", "Digging My Potatoes" (very important if you want to get fed at Blitherscrum)and "Feel Like Going Home" ? Well, they will once they see the audience. |

24 Dec 13 - 06:55 AM (#3586256) Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Festival 2014 A new start! From: Vic Smith Actually, Fred, The Muddy Watersons are really looking forward to appearing at Blitherscrum.... so much so that they are recording a limited issue CD just for sale at this Festival. It is entitled:- Holy Heathens and the Old Green Mannish Boy ...and the opening track is "Funny Sounds, Sound Your Instruments Of Joy." |

24 Dec 13 - 09:44 AM (#3586301) Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Festival 2014 A new start! From: Matthew Edwards Is anybody joining me tonight for the Blitherscrum carols? These are traditionally performed after the midnight service at the Church of the Apocryphal Virgin. The singers go from house to house through the night in all weathers, finishing at Old Jones's farmhouse up Rapperty Bank in Lower Blitherscrum. The singers usually meet first at the Plumber's Armpit for a brief rehearsal so I do hope that some of you will make it there. The old carols sung in Blitherscrum include such gems as:- Sweet Belles Wild Shepherds Jacob's Not Very Well Wobbly Hark Blitherscrum:- 'While Shepherds Watched' sung (more or less) to the tune of 'John Brown's Body' and not forgetting the beautiful 'Home on the Blither' which never fails to bring tears to the eyes of listeners.

24 Dec 13 - 11:43 AM (#3586329) Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Festival 2014 A new start! From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Matthew, youve forgotten the most important one in the entire Blitherscrum carol book, the one which really gets them going. "Oh Little Town of Blitherscrum". That was the one which was rescued from the dustbin by the great Sir William Grindleford himself. |
|
24 Dec 13 - 12:32 PM (#3586339) Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Festival 2014 A new start! From: Matthew Edwards Thanks Fred, how could I have forgotten that? It of course spawned a host of imitations such as 'O Littler Village of Lesser Blitherscrum', and 'O Littlest Hamlet of Blitherscrum Parva' culminating in the wonderful, but miniscule carol 'O Tiniest Little Homestead of Blitherscrum Minus'. Matthew |
|
26 Dec 13 - 12:19 PM (#3586750) Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Festival 2014 A new start! From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Yes. Also worth pointing out the traditional Blitherscrum custom of conflating carols and combining them. EG., "I Saw Three Kings Come Wassailing In". Of course there are no apple trees in Blitherscrum. In fact there's practically nothing of anything that looks even half way likely to bloom. So the locals took Child 54 and altered it a bit, so that it now starts "Old cherry tree, we wassail thee". Then again there's one you'll hear every year in the King Herod. Well, you will ever since the landlord didn't realise he'd run over time, and ended up in court for accidentally serving after hours. "King Herod and the Clock". BTW. I was driving back over the moors from Dungworth this afternoon and, just about where Penistone Rd becomes Mortimer Rd, I swear I saw a sign which said BLITHERSCRUM five miles. |

26 Dec 13 - 04:28 PM (#3586793) Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Festival 2014 A new start! From: Matthew Edwards The King Herod pub you say? I'm told the landlord serves children there on Boxing Day. M |

27 Dec 13 - 06:11 AM (#3586878) Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Festival 2014 A new start! From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Yes, but only princely babes, or anyone he thinks is a princely babe. Anyway, further research has revealed the location of Blitherscrum to be roughly midway between Bradfield, Bolsterstone and Broomhead. However, when I looked the location up on the OS map, it said "Here Be Dragons". It also indicated that the village is impossible to get to, being surrounded by poisonous woods and a fetid swamp. Plus the whole area is guarded by Alison Gross, Kemp Owene, the Laily Worm and the Machrel of the Sea. No wonder they never attract any punters. |

27 Dec 13 - 07:10 AM (#3586887) Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Festival 2014 A new start! From: Raggytash Parachutes .............. that's what is needed.

Life afterwards would be so dreary that death would seem like a blessing. |

27 Dec 13 - 07:44 AM (#3586892) Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Festival 2014 A new start! From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Sorry, but the acid rain produced by the Laily Worm is guaranteed to rot all makes of parachute canvas, usually while the parachutist is several hundred feet from the ground. |

He's just been offering me another outfit, dubiously named Ali Gaytor and the Snappy Seven. Weird name for a five-piece. I won't be falling for it though.

28 Dec 13 - 06:14 AM (#3587077) Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Festival 2014 A new start! From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Ok. Panic over. Turns out the only babies ever served up by the King Herod were jelly babies. However, The Pinnochio Arms, which is just across the way, lost its licence some years ago for indulging in white slavery. Something to do with sending the kids on a trip to Pleasure Island, where they ended up having to work on zero hours contracts with no employment rights, for cruel and tyrannical overseers. Sounds a bit like Britain under the Lib-Dem coalition in fact. |

No, the reason why the nativity play didn't go ahead was because they couldn't find a virgin. (Thinks. The old ones are always the best.) Dunno about the King Herod being the best pub in town for Child ballads. We've always used the Cruel Mother, which is two doors down from the King Herod. I gather the Child Owlet is pretty good too. There's many a one couldn't tear themselves away from there. |

29 Dec 13 - 03:39 PM (#3587377) Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Festival 2014 A new start! From: Matthew Edwards Following the visit from those killjoys at the NSPCC the landlord at the King Herod has removed roast kid from the menu, and replaced it with roasted cock. So when the festival committee met on Boxing Day after the traditional wren hunt to consider what acts to book for the 2014 Festival the landlord told them "I've heard you're booking this twerker Smiley Virus. Now if that's true then I bet that roasted cock there will get up and crow three times." Well, as it turned out, the chef had forgotten to switch the oven on so up stood Farmer Jones's best Rhode Island Red cockerel in the dish and it crowed full fences three. The next committee meeting will be on New Year's Day; it was supposed to be at the Child Owlet on Darling Muir, but the members are now torn between the Black Horse and the Bay Mare instead. |

30 Dec 13 - 06:08 AM (#3587507) Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Festival 2014 A new start! From: GUEST,Fred McCormick To avoid any confusion, the Child Owlet is situated at Elkin Moor, not Darling Muir.

Just because the word try crops up in rugby football, and we were talking about scrums and stuff, you thought you'd show the big thickos how clever you are. Let me tell you sir, at Blitherscrum, many have tried and none have succeeded. Furthermore, the right honourable William MacRea, Democratic Unionist Party member of parliament for South Antrim, dyed in the wool Protestant Presbyterian and upholder of all things anti-Catholic and sanctimonious, is not only a raving bigot. He also plays the accordeon and sings. Rumour has it that he once recorded a song called "Oh Lord, Drop Kick Me Through The Goal Posts Of Heaven".

Flash floods can be a problem so it has been suggested by the committee that instead of investing in new chairs and sunbeds this year, we should think about investing in air beds which float if there is a sudden rise of tide in the river Blither. What do you think? |
|
03 Jan 14 - 05:56 AM (#3588601) Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Festival 2014 A new start! From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Mr Georgiansilver. Please pay attention. I have already dealt with this point. The festival committee is offering 2.5% discounts for punters who are willing to dig the sink holes to carry away the flood water. Granted no-one has so far taken this interesting offer. But that's no reason to assume the weather will in any way be congenial towards airbeds. Besides, what happens when the floods recede and carry the airbeds and punters out to the sea, there to be left to the mercy of pirates and man eating sharks? I know this is the pantomime season, but imagine the outcome if they ran into Cap'n 'ook and Long John Silver. |
