11 Jan 01 - 07:03 PM (#373020) Subject: German Mudcatters get-together? From: Susanne (skw) I'm becoming envious hearing about Mudcat get-togethers in various parts of the world, so I thought I'd just start the ball rolling for Germany. 1. How many German Mudcatters are out there apart from Wolfgang and me? 2. How many of you would be interested in meeting somewhere at some future date? 3. Anything else? |

12 Jan 01 - 01:07 AM (#373170) Subject: RE: BS: German Mudcatters get-together? From: john c Hey, Susanne - does not being German but speaking it pretty fluently count? And is it allowed not to actually live in Germany but in a country not a million miles away from the Bavarian border (like Austria, for example!)? M´cat gathering for Deutschers - what a good idea! Cheers, John |

12 Jan 01 - 05:02 AM (#373217) Subject: RE: BS: German Mudcatters get-together? From: Wolfgang Well, there's Rollo (Hamburg), there's Joerg (having a GUEST in front of his name, but posting so often that he 'feels like' being a member), there's Harald (posting so rarely that he'll not see this thread), Uilleand as well (if I'm not totally mistaken), Snobby (But I haven't seen any posting by him since ages). John, it is no impediment if you speak German, the only difficulty for you is that both Susanne and I live in the North of Germany, a far way from Austria. In general, I think it is a good idea and would love to come. Wolfgang |

12 Jan 01 - 05:17 AM (#373220) Subject: RE: BS: German Mudcatters get-together? From: Jon Freeman Oh well, I guess that Sian, Bron and I could (reluctantly) let Mudguard go back to being German if it would help the numbers... shame though as I think we would all happily have him as a Welsh member! Seriously, I really hope it comes off for you. I can not fully express the pleasure I had in meeting fellow Mudcatters in Llantock 2000 - I liked everyone I met and I still can not get over the feelings of friendship that I experienced. Jon |

I apply for double membership - Welsh and German if this is possible. I am interested in a meeting but whether I'm able to come depends on date (whether my boss can spare me at the time or whether I am on holiday) and place (if on a weekend, place is not so much of a problem as during the week...). But don't expect that I will be able to make any music at a meeting - I am a passive musician ;-) MudGuard (Andreas)

12 Jan 01 - 04:34 PM (#373532) Subject: RE: BS: German Mudcatters get-together? From: MudGuard I forgot to mention: the nearer to Munich the meeting might be the better for me. And if not in Munich it should not be too far from a railway station - I don't own a car, and the last time I drove one was 14 years ago (so don't mention Rent-a-car - I have a driving license but I think it is better for all car drivers if I don't drive a car).

13 Jan 01 - 07:05 PM (#374134) Subject: RE: BS: German Mudcatters get-together? From: Susanne (skw) Wow! This is a lot more than I expected! I suppose it'll take us some time to agree on a time and place that would suit most of us (too much to hope we might actually accommodate everybody). Let anyone come along who counts him/herself as a German Mudcatter, guest or no, other nationality or no, musician or no (I'm not one myself), Joe Offer or no, etc. (Joe, you'd actually be very welcome, I'm sure.) Nothing but a weekend date will do, and we should try to find a location as central as possible. So - let me know where you live, and I'll work it out on the map (any other volunteers for this?). Alternatively, we could tack the meeting on to a festival, such as Rudolstadt (first weekend in July). I'm almost certain to be there anyway :-). There is also the 'Festival of Political Song' in Berlin in late February, but I suppose that's too soon. Besides, I may be going during the week, but I won't be able to stay for the weekend. Any other ideas? Let's thrash this out! Wolfgang, I'll send Harald a mail. |

14 Jan 01 - 12:42 PM (#374372) Subject: RE: BS: German Mudcatters get-together? From: GUEST,ina I hope I'll be able to be at the TFF this July (I was last year but only on Sunday and plan to spend the whole weekend at Rudolstadt this year!)- so this would be the perfect meeting point for me! And I think it would even be relatively central as a meeting location. |

15 Jan 01 - 07:09 AM (#374784) Subject: RE: BS: German Mudcatters get-together? From: Wolfgang Fortunato, you see there is a German folk scene (even for folk music in German). One problem, however, is that there is also a kind of German Volksmusik (which features in our TV or radios or prominently in CD sales) that any German mudcatter wouldn't even touch with a ten feet pole.

18 Jan 01 - 06:13 PM (#377300) Subject: RE: BS: German Mudcatters get-together? From: Susanne (skw) MudGuard, I agree - if no Mudcatter is actually living in the place that would make the arrangements so much more difficult. (Just thinking aloud!) There are at least two Mudcatters in Berlin, also, I have friends there I could ask for help with arrangements. It's not exactly in the center of Germany, but easy to reach by road, rail and air. Then there is Hamburg, not exactly in the centre ... but easy to reach ... AND I live near and could help with arrangements. Muenster would be nice, with a Mudcatter in place ... - except for the fact that it is more difficult to reach by rail (?) and air. Difficult one ... |

04 Feb 01 - 01:10 PM (#389757) Subject: RE: BS: German Mudcatters get-together? From: Lady McMoo Easter Saturday wouldn't be good for me as I'll probably be on route to Japan then.

I like the idea of german mudcatters getting together and if I can make it (depends on time & place) be shure I'll come to the meeting. I write this from the south of germany, allgäu, close to the lake of Constance, right beside Austria and Switzerland (maybe they've also mudcatters there). It's an absolutely dead area concerning folk or folk-rock musicans but we have some lovely pubs around here. Let me know if your projekt is growing. Thanks to Domenico from Manchester who sent me an email to tell me about your plans. take care everybody menzze |

I agree with Muenster obviously though it is very far to Muenster from the south of Germany (much nearer from Belgium). If Easter saturday makes problems for several how about any normal weekend in May (too many people might be off on a vacation at Easter. How about 1swt, 2nd, 3rd week end in May (these are alternatives, mind you). Wolfgang |

Muenster has a youth hostel, top quality near the town center, but wait. I'll ask my wife whether she'll take our daughter with her for a weekend somewhere else. In that case you could bring your sleeping bags and fill our five rooms flat (4 could sleep comfortable, 6 fine, 12 possible,...). A music pub? Not really my taste, but an Irish pub (and if we go first to some other place for the food, it is fine...) Wolfgang |

Where is Muenster? what is the nearest Town that I should have heard of? Would it be better to come in from Belgium or from Holland? The boat from Hull can take us to either Amsterdam or Zeebruger or would it be better to fly. Cheers Bill |

09 Feb 01 - 09:15 PM (#394663) Subject: RE: BS: German Mudcatters get-together? From: Susanne (skw) My guess would be Holland. Muenster is straight east of Rotterdam, and the nearest town you might have heard of is Bielefeld, still further east. We'd certainly welcome a British delegation! Just in order to avoid any misunderstandings: the first weekend in May is - according to my diary - 5/6 May. I'm looking forward to that! It also might be worth knowing a little about the musical leanings and abilities of the people taking part - such as, Susanne doesn't play anything but she sings a bit - not solo if she can help it, mind you! |

14 Feb 01 - 04:14 AM (#397704) Subject: RE: BS: German Mudcatters get-together? From: Wolfgang 5/6 May gets an OK from me. My wife and daughter will be here on that weekend, so I can't offer you to come all in our flat for overnight. However, there's a big garden behind the house and there'd be place for some tents. I can't imagine there'd be problems with caravans in our part of the town. Of course, there are official camping and caravan sites in Münster, but not at walking distance. Hotels at reasonable prices are near my place and the youth hostel is at walking distance (30 min.). What else do you need to know? Directions how to find me come later. From Belgium, I think I'd go via Aaachen and not through the Netherlands, but I'm not sure. So much for now. Wolfgang |

Maybe there is chance to get a lift, but this can be sorted out later. no problem with tenting by me. I like it. Beside, about the german "Folk scene": Don't forget german scout and youth movement. They have cultivated a vivid tradition of genuine german folk singing where a lot of the old songs survive and many, many new ones are written. Looking forward to Muenster Rollo |

At least sleeping bag and tent should be possible in our back yard. BTW, Münster has also a Scottish pub with a decent food. With a long notice the guy might even be willing to make a haggis. But if that would some of you deter from coming to Muenster, we might go to the Italian restaurant for the food (or a greek, turkish, lebanese, chinese, spanish or even German). Wolfgang |

19 Feb 01 - 05:51 PM (#401758) Subject: RE: BS: German Mudcatters get-together? From: Mrs.Duck Having just investigated ferry routes and times it would seem that for UK mudcatters to come we would have to set off from Hull on Friday night, travel all day Saturday and then leave early on Sunday to travel back overnight to Hull. Can't really say that sounds a lot of fun so it looks like we won't be coming after all. |

21 Feb 01 - 09:13 PM (#403352) Subject: RE: BS: German Mudcatters get-together? From: Susanne (skw) I'd go with you if I wasn't over here already. Sounds like you're going to have more fun on the trip than at the gathering! I suppose we'll have to declare it the first ever Anglo-German Mudcat Gathering. Looking forward to meeting you all! |

22 Feb 01 - 05:33 AM (#403554) Subject: RE: BS: German Mudcatters get-together? From: Wolfgang Rather the first British Mudcat Gathering on the Continent (locals admitted if they speak the Mudcat vernacular). I'll do a count of how many come and then I'll have another look at the rooms in our flat... More to come. Wolfgang |

22 Feb 01 - 07:48 AM (#403593) Subject: RE: BS: German Mudcatters get-together? From: Les from Hull If any UK mudcatters are returning on the Sunday, there's a monthly session at Nellie's (The White Horse) that starts at about 2pm and finishes later - much much later. It happens on the first Sunday of every month, unless it gets moved for any particular reason. As we haven't had March or April yet we haven't discussed if we'll move the May one because of the bank holiday. But if anyone is interested, please get in touch. Many of the Hull Chapter will be in Whitby, though (like Maggie and me, Ickle Dorritt and Cavia_P). Of course, if you're close enough to Beverley and have a designated driver, we'll look forward to seeing you in March or April. Les |

From: Eric the Viking I'm NOT one to cast doom and gloom, but wasn't there an Irish session going on somewhere below decks on another boat that was on her maiden voyage (if you discount a few sea trials and things)? What was her name? Oh yes, Tintinic or something.I'm really looking forward to this, what should we call it? Munstock? I suppose we should have started alphabetically with A-stock, but we are doing all right with L-stock and now M-stock . Soon should be N-stock Still mustn't forget a Yorkshire gathering sometime Eric :-) |

23 Feb 01 - 07:02 PM (#404932) Subject: RE: BS: German Mudcatters get-together? From: Rollo Hey, this will be great fun in munster! So many dear people travelin' so far from everywhere... Let's call it MUNSTER MUDCAT MAY-DAY GATHERING! Llanfair: here is a recipy against sea sickness delivered from my grandpa who was a mediteranean sea shooner cookie... You should eat so much you are really stuffed up before you launch, but not as much you get sick without sea of course. While aboard, eat and drink heartily. You will find this REALLY helping, tried it myself occasionally. The mistake of most puking land lubbers is, their stomach is empty because they expect problems. |

24 Feb 01 - 04:58 PM (#405458) Subject: RE: BS: German Mudcatters get-together? From: Rollo Ah, Kat, now that you mention it... there was this question about frankfurt airport... well, you are right. There is noone living in frankfurt. Actually, it's just a spot on the map where someone dropped a bunch of bankers to get rid of them. But your sister bet can be assured there is a slight chance she can find the right gate on FFM airport within three hours. |

We have fond memories of them all, one visits us whenever she can. But I have got to admit my weakness is for the cake shops, oh I love them. What to buy, never could make my mind up. I taught them in Rottenbourg am Necker how to make a traditional English dish, THE CHIP BUTTIE, yummy, bye the bye I used to sing sometimes. Cobble who is now feeling very hungry. Love ya all. |

27 Mar 01 - 05:46 AM (#426381) Subject: RE: BS: German Mudcatters get-together? From: Wolfgang for all, here's an interactive town map of Muenster for Andreas: I had a look at the map (it has a street search function): Overbergstr. is so close that I am ashamed I didn't know. Ten minutes walk from me. Go to the search function of the twon map, enter Overbergstr. and as soon as you have the map click on the arrow pointing exactly to the East. You'll then see a map that has both Overbergstr. and Wiener Str. in it and you can zoom in or out to see where that is in general. Wolfgang |
