Well it had to be done .....especially with all the Cats support for our festival. Now we can start to appreciate life outside of Festival organising - phew! Pleased to join all our friends, old, new and to come.

PS Do you run workshops on Mudcat lingo? You can tell we're more used to writing letters !!

As if 'Mudcat lingo' wasn't bad enough, please be aware that this group includes Yanks, Canadians, Ozzies and the occasional Swede as well as Yookers...and the rumor that they all speak much the same language is far from true! Join us in Mudchat...hit the arrow to the right of 'Quick Links" in the upper right corner...there is an active group there from about 10 to midnight, UK time...I think it has something to do with the time the pubs close..........

As for lingo, I suppose one can get used to anything eventually...">) We are an incorrigible collectivity, though, so fair warning.

Welcome aboard from Gordon and Shelagh (Bassic and Rock Chick), thanks again for the "shade" at Cropredy on Saturday and a great time at Banbury! See you around again I am sure. Try the Yorkshire Gathering next year and meet loads of Mudcat and Shelback friends and a Mudcat weding. I am sure there is a canal not far away!!

Welcome.
As a relative newcomer myself I advise just go with the flow.
As for things not making sense...how long have you been involved in the folk world?

Mudcat lingo?

Heck, many of us are barely conversant in English!

Welcome aboard from one of the confirmed catters, Blackcatter.

I'm from Orlando, FL, by the way and my English pub doesn't close until I have finished the 2 pints served to me at 2 AM.

Welcome Derek & Mary, nice to see you've joined our ranks! From not so much a middle bar singer as a singer who has sung in the middle bar!
Good to "see" you!
