14 Oct 01 - 10:55 AM (#571741) Subject: Llanstock 2 the conclusion From: GUEST,EtV & Andrew Hello those of you who are left or on their way home. Andy and I have just stopped for petrol, and a coffee and found a cybercafe in Tesco in Manchester. It's like being on the boat,(From Germany) but there are only two of us here and some others who know nothing about mudcat. We had a real good time, last night's celiedh was pretty good. Bill called and people danced. The musicians played music. The people in the kitchen gave out food, drink and generally "kitched" A very big thankyou to Bron (Llanfair) for all the very hard work she must have put in to make the weekend a success. just like to say it's been a very pleasant weekend for a first time mudcat reveller ....thanks to everyone.ANDREW. |

14 Oct 01 - 12:53 PM (#571798) Subject: RE: Llanstock 2 the conclusion From: Matthew Edwards No, the rain held off, which was a relief to those of us who were camping. It has been a delightful weekend, and it is a bit early yet to organise all my thoughts. However, first and foremost, a big thank-you to Bron for making everything possible, and thank also to the people of Llanfair Caereinion for making us welcome. If Llanstock 3 goes ahead it would be nice if we could find a way to contribute something to a worthwhile cause for the town. It was lovely to meet so many of you, and I was deeply impressed by the musical skills you all displayed. I heard lots of good songs from some very good singers, and some excellent music as well. The singing in the Institute after the ceilidh, provided some of the sweetest harmonies I have heard in a long time. My ears are still ringing from the looooooong notes of "Clementine" - my hearing aid has probably been permanently damaged! our time apart will be short, and pass |

Your ears may still be ringing from 'Clementine' Matthew - I've had a headache ever since - oxygen deprivation I reckon. What is this circular breathing anyway - I was breathing through my ears! Snuffy, where might I find the words to the song about the bogies? And next time, hit the tap HARD! |

( But a very nice poodle, I must say ). Now as to the sausages, did they actually get eaten? Are they still in the back of Liz's car? And I was assured that CMOT Dibbler had nothing to do with them! They were supposed to be honey roast pork chipolatas, smoked pork with tomato+garlic+something and chicken with walnut and spring onion. I only managed to post today as Parker tried to load up ntl world stuff and wiped out all my cookies! Morty, I got in just after 9, no problem. how's the kitten? Has she got a name yet?

If we get a full hostel cost will be approx £7.50 per person for 2 nights ie £3.75 pnight! Will post fuller details in a couple of days but could be Feb 2002 in LLangollen or Lake District. There is nothing suitable further South. Cheers John

Then she threw her arms round me, and this she did say, "It will not be long, love. I'll be back on Sunday." Then she got in the mini, and she drove to Llanfair, To meet all the 'Catters who were gathering there. They sang and they drank, and they ate lots of cake And at three in the morning they were all still awake. Last night I lay sleeping. My mobile it rang. And proudly she told me the songs that she sang. "I'm not coming home love," she to me did say "I'm off to see Micca at the Getaway."

First of all: a BIG THANKYOU to Bron for organizing Llanstock 2001. And another BIG THANKYOU to all the musicians for all the good music. I really enjoyed all of it! Thanks for putting up with me! Of course, Liz, another BIG THANKYOU to you for bringing me to Llanfair (and back to London also). I now know where the last part of your Mudcat name comes from! I hope to get a replacement for my damaged right ear in about two and a half months - on New Ear's Eve ;-) Sam and Bill: I put the "Bridging the Gap" CD on first thing this morning, it is great! After work I will give the Windy Bottom one a go! Now, as some football trainer once said: after the game is before the (next) game! Bron, please book me into the trailer for next year. Liz, please book the passenger seat of your car for me for next year. Ickledorritt (spelling?), good news from the doctor, he said I might be able to walk again by the time of the next Llanstock, maybe even without a limp... ;-)

LLANFAIR AND DELIGHTFUL It was pleasant and delightful one midsummer's morn In fact it was October but that wouldn't rhyme Off to Llanfair Caereinion Mudcatters did repair and the 'Catters sang melodious in the bars around Llanfair and the 'Catters sang melodious (3x) in the bars around Llanfair We Gathered at the Institute for Llanstock 2 To sing and meet friends and to Ceilidh there too And Bron did us proud twas a hell of a bash If it wasn't for melodeons and the Low Trailer Trash as end of verse 1 Some songs They were depressing and some they were not And one was a beauty about a big lump of snot There was lots of good singing and for Jez a Happy B And Bill Sables played melodeon fuelled by fags and Yorkshire Tea Then the circle in the Institute it quickly grew And every one was playing and was singing there too And early next morning someone said "lets have one more" Bron said "No you silly Buggers, I have to lock the door It was fine on Sunday morning when the 'catters arose As some in the trailer they searched for their clothes Line up against the wall me friends for the group photograph And we'll send it into Pene so they all can have a laugh Goodbye Llanfair Caereinion until this time next year As we all trudge off homewards full of friendship and beer And well learn some new songs and tunes two or three And we know we will return again and join in Llanstock 3 |

So what was everyones most memorable moment then? Mine was singing a song and realising in the last verse, that there wasn't a single sound AT ALL anywhere in the Institute but my song..... a deep and meaningful hair on end moment - and that's a lot of hair! Coming a very close second to that was Lady P and I doing the Harp song of the Dane women - Lady P - I've got the words in my book now (we missed a verse, but who'se counting!), and realising that Lady P and I have never actually sung properly together before.....

BTW, I am fostering a collection of cans of Stella that were feeling lonely when everyone else had left the trailer. If the legal guardian wishes to reclaim them, I will keep them safe until such time as a handover can be arranged. Otherwise they will be adopted and assimilated... Well, Mortie found a kitten a good home... :0) |

20 Oct 01 - 04:33 PM (#576419) Subject: RE: Llanstock 2 the conclusion From: MudGuard The giggling was caused by a serious attack of SGD (Silly Girl Desease). |

25 Oct 01 - 04:23 AM (#579242) Subject: RE: Llanstock 2 the conclusion From: MudGuard Finally I got my photos on the way to Jeff (Pene Azul). I had to have the film developped and got it back on Friday. I gave the slides to a colleague on Friday to scan them (I do not have a scanner for slides, only one for prints) which he did over the weekend. Monday and Tuesday I was not at work (fever and other un-nice things), so I only got the digital images yesterday. And they needed some bit of fine-tuning (as on some pics the flash did not work properly...). All you have to do now is wait for Jeff to put the pics online. Btw, SGD is of course known as Silly Girl Disease. I must have had an attack of BSE (bad spelling epidemic, not what here in Germany is known as BSE - bovide spongiforme encephalitis or mad cow disease). |

25 Oct 01 - 05:32 AM (#579257) Subject: RE: Llanstock 2 the conclusion From: alanww I look forward to seeing your pics, Mudguard ... I hope they are not too incriminating! I went down to Sammy's bar ... |

25 Oct 01 - 05:42 AM (#579263) Subject: RE: Llanstock 2 the conclusion From: MudGuard Uuups, I think I divided the pile in two, on one side all the incriminating ones for my own use only, on the other side the harmless ones for giving to Pene. But by accident ;-) I then used the first pile instead of the second for Pene... |

26 Oct 01 - 05:41 AM (#580165) Subject: RE: Llanstock 2 the conclusion From: Noreen Not too incriminating- lots of singing/playing/drinking going on- totally unrepresentative of the weekend... :0) I like the picture of the synchronised drinking orchestrated by micca- what was going on? That chocolate cake was yummy, Andreas, you can come back and visit any time! Thanks, Andy and Jeff. Noreen |
|
26 Oct 01 - 06:26 AM (#580177) Subject: RE: Llanstock 2 the conclusion From: MudGuard Noreen, it was not orchestrated by Micca, it was the song from Alanww where everyone was supposed to make silly movements - I can't remember exactly what, ask Alanww about the details. To answer your question some postings above: simple tunes - I still fight against the technic of the whistle |

27 Oct 01 - 02:20 PM (#580980) Subject: RE: Llanstock 2 the conclusion From: MudGuard Bill and Sam (and Ian), you nearly caused serious burning to me! I was cooking some cranberry iam when I thought it would not harm to (at last) listen to the Windy Bottom 2001 CD I bought at Llanstock. I was just beginning to fill the iam into jars when "The Rooster" was on. I nearly put some of the boiling hot jam over my hand as I had fits of laughter!!! Great song! MudGuard/Andy |
