02 Sep 03 - 02:55 PM (#1011426) Subject: RE: Otley Folk Festival. From: Noreen There's more on the website now, Linda (but not a great deal of detail, and NOTHING about camping...). Shellbacks have been asked to host a singaround on tne Friday evening, so come and join us. Who else will be there? |
|
02 Sep 03 - 03:15 PM (#1011437) Subject: RE: Otley Folk Festival. From: John Routledge Most Shellbacks sing non-sea songs at non-maritime festivals when not performing with the Chorus.A great start to the Festival should be assured at the Friday night sing around venue. Watch this space. If 2000 and 2001 are anything to go by enjoyment overall is guaranteed. |

03 Sep 03 - 05:09 AM (#1011861) Subject: RE: Otley Folk Festival. From: red max I came along on the Saturday last year mainly so my young daughter could enjoy the morris dancing. I must admit that being relatively new to the folk scene I was too shy to hunt out any singing sessions etc. This year I'd really like to meet some mudcatters. Where's the best place to hear and join in some trad singing? |
|
03 Sep 03 - 08:06 AM (#1011924) Subject: RE: Otley Folk Festival. From: Noreen red max, as soon as I know any more about venues I'll post it here. I'll have my mudcat badge on and will be pleased to meet you. Perhaps someone who knows the festival better than I could suggest a time & location for a mini-mudcat-meetup? |

04 Sep 03 - 04:53 AM (#1012534) Subject: RE: Otley Folk Festival. From: Raggytash Noreen, The Mason's, which is across the road diagonally from the Civic Centre may prove to be a good venue, the landlord is folk friendly, decent beer and surroundings. There is often a session in the garden where he provides shelter in the way of a gazebo and he is not averse to us singing in the pub, I think I may recall some late nights there! Sibelius, the offer is still there just make yourself knwon |

04 Sep 03 - 05:06 AM (#1012536) Subject: RE: Otley Folk Festival. From: red max Kitchen Piper - I don't have a badge either. Perhaps we could improvise. If you have a cat I can supply the mud Who's up for a beer in The Mason's, then? |

16 Sep 03 - 12:15 PM (#1019954) Subject: RE: Otley Folk Festival. From: Mrs.Duck Only a few days to go now - looking forward to it. Two days with Tanglefoot and lots and lots of singing with the Shellbacks, singaround on Friday night at Whitakers should be a good starter from 5.30pm. See you all there. |
|
16 Sep 03 - 01:09 PM (#1019998) Subject: RE: Otley Folk Festival. From: John Routledge Several MudCatters have dual nationality with the Shellback Chorus so for early arrivals from 5.30 Fri in Whitakers where the Shellbacks are hosting the singaround looks good - pending confirmation of an "exclusive" Mudcat Mini Meet elsewhere? |

Looks like you won't be able to miss the Shellbacks (ok, some of you will have to try VERY hard) as we're doing singarounds and concert spots all weekend all over the place. Weather's lovely at the moment... |

18 Sep 03 - 07:38 AM (#1021325) Subject: RE: Otley Folk Festival. From: Raggytash Noreen I've got a litle clock of yours(I'm sure there's a song in there somewhere) we'll be camping over the weekend and stewarding, starting Friday evening at the town hall/civic hall whatever they call it. They work you hard at Otley, a couple of years ago we ended up doing 11 hours one day and filling in the a compare who didn't materialise ! Will try and ensure you get your clock back !! (I bet there's another song there) |

18 Sep 03 - 08:10 AM (#1021335) Subject: RE: Otley Folk Festival. From: Noreen That little clock of mine (another song) will be pretty well-travelled. Reminds me of a lovely song Sue vG does: ...but as long as you're able to wind up me clock, then I'll have no reason to worry :0) I'm sure I'll clock you over the weekend, Raggy. PS Clocks will all be going back soon. |

22 Sep 03 - 05:58 AM (#1022937) Subject: RE: Otley Folk Festival. From: Raggytash Well what a good do, Mike Agrinoff, Serious Kitchen, Artisan, Old Rope String Band and Tanglefoot as well as many other great performances. The only sour note was inconsiderate folks on the camp site who seem to think it acceptable to make a great racket at 3 in the morning despite the quiet that prevailed over the surrounding tents, ignoring the fact that a tent had been erected precisely for their use. When asked politely by Wombat to pipe down a tad they became abusive to her and then proceeded to shout how noisy they were going to be the next night. Any ideas how this can be eliminated |

23 Sep 03 - 01:11 PM (#1023619) Subject: RE: Otley Folk Festival. From: KJ Nice to see you at Otley Raggy. If you can't beat noisy b*****d's on the campsite I suggest you join them with highland war pipes (lots of them), Oakley's fan club the DGP's, a herd of buffalo, several mating cats, Colin's mums budgie (it's loud!!)& a primary school recorder group. Should make a cacophony enough to send anyone running a mile! Failing that I could always mix up a nice concoction to put in their water bottles /coffee cups/ beer which would put 'em out of action for a while! |
