05 Dec 99 - 08:50 AM (#144905) Subject: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: Graham Pirt Mudcatters Sam Pirt and Ian Stephenson with Joey Oliver and Sophie and Emily Ball in the band "422" last night (Saturday 4 December) won the BBC Young Folk Award. In a concert in Broadcasting House in London they competed against another five performers/bands who had won their way through to the final. The standard was absolutely exceptional and any of the performers could have won. "422" will now appear at Cambridge Folk Festival and take part in an international tour organised by the British Council. Well done all of them. The concert will be broadcast on The Folk Programme on BBC Radio 2 on Wednesday 8 December between 20.00 and 21.00 GMT - Listen in? |

05 Dec 99 - 10:11 AM (#144930) Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: JedMarum Who will broadcast this show in the US? Can Max get hooked up, and rebroadcast over Mudcat? I see tha BBC news programs are frequently reboradcast around the world - perhaps this show could be done, as well. |

05 Dec 99 - 10:32 AM (#144934) Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: bigJ You can get BBC Radio 2 in Real Audio of course, but you'd have to make allowance for the time difference. |

05 Dec 99 - 10:47 AM (#144937) Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: Jeri Congratulations!!! I hope the international tour includes the US! BBC 2 does broadcast live on-line. They say they don't have their whole program available, but I'm listening right now. I really hope they decide to broadcast the show live. There's a link on the BBC Radio 2 Home Page 20:00 (8:00PM) = 15:00 (3:00PM) Mudcat Time (Eastern Standard) |

05 Dec 99 - 12:11 PM (#144960) Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: selby It is very nice to know that young muscians that you play with in local sessions have done very well. But lets think about the ones that didn't win the award, who are all I am quite sure talented but on the day did not catch the judges ear. The future of folk music in the British Isles would appear to be healthy. Congratulations to ALL who took part.Who knows what next year will bring. Keith |

06 Dec 99 - 01:45 PM (#145506) Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: Sam Pirt Catters what can I say, your international support is great. Its nice to have such strong support from overseas. I to have been trying to concentrate on a bit of university work I still have to do but failing!! For all those UK catters (& little Dorrit) I'm of to Cottingham folk club on the 8th of December after the broardcast (broardcast is 8pm till 9pm English time) so it would be good to catch some of you there. I'm still having trouble getting used to the idea of it all at the moment but I've had a great time right through the semi-finals, finals and am looking forward to what the future will bring. The sessions were cool as well!!!! See ya soon and thanks Sam |

07 Dec 99 - 02:26 AM (#145895) Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: roopoo Well done the lot of you! We knew you could do it! I should have phoned to find out, but my nerves let me down, and I didn't like to on Saturday night as I didn't know what time it would finish. I hope they'll put you on the Whitby programme. One of the smaller festivals is Stainsby, not far from Chesterfield. It's years since I've been, but it was a very cosy and informal affair. Of course there is another closer to home... Congrats. Do we get to see you this week? mouldy |

08 Dec 99 - 04:07 PM (#146708) Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: Jon Freeman Wow, some playing!!! As Graham said, the standard all round was exceptional but I did feel that there was one clear winner... Only trouble is, I had talked about the possibility of getting to the JUG with Bill recently, I would be scared stiff of going there now if that is the standard....

08 Dec 99 - 07:47 PM (#146839) Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: roopoo Jon, I sat next to Ian in the Jug tonight, fresh from listening to the concert, and it was just a normal session with everybody just jammin'. Ian entered the pub to a big cheer and then just unpacked his guitar and settled in. (He did get a free drink from the landlord for winning). I am no great shakes as a musician, and I can cope. We are of all standards. You would be most welcome. mouldy |

08 Dec 99 - 08:13 PM (#146861) Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: Graham Pirt Sam's having trouble getting on line. We went to the Cottingham Folk Club after the broadcast - big cheer for Sam as well. They all deserve it - not just for the talent but for being nice, ordinary people as well, who just love the music. |

08 Dec 99 - 11:13 PM (#146947) Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: Jon Freeman Cheers Mouldy, I was saying it to indicate how impressed I was rather than literaly fearing the session - I have met plenty of musicians far better than me who have been welcoming and encouraging towards me and I will get to the JUG one day - I'll look forward to meeting you there as well... Jon |

09 Dec 99 - 03:41 AM (#146997) Subject: RE: Mudcatters win BBC Folk Final From: roopoo Jon, I had a sneaky suspician that was the case! Graham, I doubt he'll forget, but Ian has something in his guitar case for Sam when he next sees him. mouldy |
