01 Apr 03 - 05:03 PM (#923878) Subject: Nutters From: treewind Who's going? explanation for the uninitiated: The Britannia Coconut Dancers of Bacup in Lancashire go out out on their annual Easter weekend outing through the streets of their home town on Saturday 19 April. Big music session at the Queen's, ceilidh in Brighouse (West Yorks) in the evening, lunchtime session at the Alma, Cottonstones on Sunday and the usual weekly session at the Bridge, Ripponden. For English music enthusiasts, West Yorkshire is the only place to be that weekend. Mary and I are even going to take Tuesday off so we can stay for the Monday night. Who else might we meet there?

02 Apr 03 - 04:31 AM (#924292) Subject: RE: Nutters From: greg stephens "West Yorkshire is the only place to be that weekend" Anahata? That seems to me to fundamentally incompatible with a desire to see the Nutters, who(as you correctly say) are in Bacup,Lancashire. These things may not matter dahn sahf, but they do in t'North. It is a very interesting area to visit, to study English cultural history. You have only to look at the witty, friendly, sprightly and good-looking citizens of Lancashire Bacup, and then go four miles east, into Yorkshire and examine the inhabitants of Todmorden: squat, ugly, money-grubbing and surly. |

02 Apr 03 - 06:01 AM (#924338) Subject: RE: Nutters From: treewind Greg - social divisiveness is not on my agenda! Anyway, last year a local described the Tod area to me as "Pink Rose country". All the events I mentioned except the Nutters outing itself are in Yorkshire. My perspective is from having lived in West Yorkshire for a while, and that's where we'll be staying except for the trip to Bacup. Anahata |

04 Apr 03 - 05:53 PM (#926359) Subject: RE: Nutters From: Peter K (Fionn) Thanks Chris & Anahata. Not suer if we'll make it for the Nutters' day out, but will certainly make it to the Bridge some time. What's an Alma session? |

16 Apr 03 - 06:50 AM (#934602) Subject: RE: Nutters From: GUEST,Mary Humphreys An Alma session is a musicsession ( with possibly the odd song or two) at a pub called the Alma at Cottonstones, a couple of miles outside of Ripponden. It starts at about mid day,the pub has wonderful beer, serves food and the music lasts until about 4pm. Good way to spend a Sunday! |

17 Apr 03 - 09:57 AM (#935385) Subject: RE: Nutters From: Bagpuss The Brighouse ceilidh is in Waring Green Community Centre, Garden Road, Brighouse. Go to the Ryburne site for a map. It's about 100 yards from my house and I will get round to attending one of the ceilidhs soon, but not this one, as I will be off on a short break in Prague. Bagpuss |
