Welcome new member - Leraud

I'd like to be the first to welcome Lyn Heraud as a Mudcatter (Leraud).

Get a badge now, Lyn - a cloth one that you can sew onto an anorak!

Any friend of El Greko's must be all right.

... and I suppose if Sandra says so, it must be true! Welcome aboard, Lyn!

And a welcome from me.

Herga calls Monday (and I missed last week) or I would trek to see Mike Nicholson at W Abbey.

Thank you for your kind welcomes. When people have got 'Mudcat' names, how do you find out who they actually are?

Some of us have completed profiles that you can view by selecting "Member Photos & Info" from the drop-down menu top right of the screen. You can submit your own profile there too.

Others haven't done that, and you just have to guess...Moses is a regular Herga-ite and Snorbanite (as indeed am I).

As there's not many Greeks in the folk circuit, my identity is kind of obvious...

From the Quick Links box (top of the page), pull down the Member Photos & Info line and press the Go button, then select Profiles from the menu. Members who have given profiles will usually include their real names. However, there aren't that many profiles, so for many you'll have to wait to come across who they are. (You can create your own profile to give info about yourself that you're willing to let others know!)

As I'm not a member, you'll never know who I am.

There have been lots of threads about Mudcat names, where members say why they chose the name they use & often give info about themselves.

Mudcat is a great place for meeting like-minded people - either in cyberspace or sometimes in person.

I run a folk club & assist in running another. I met Moses in February & will be meeting El Greko when he comes to Sydney in December when he will be appearing at my other folk club (Moses had a gig there, too!). She unfortunately missed singing at my club as she had to catch a plane that day.

Welcome Lyn.
Here is a welcome.
There's a lot of fun plus some serious discussion goes on here, so settle down, pull up a chair and warm your feet by the fire. Crack a bottle of something smooth and mooch around. Bu the one thing to remember is:-
Beware the 'Spaw!!!

Quack!
Geoff the Duck.
p.s. in 1979 I was living at Hoddesdon, and used to get to the Folk Club at St. Margarets. I remember you were a regular at the club. Do you recall the fire-eating at the Christmas party. That was me... (a long time before I became Geoff the Duck).

Welcome to the Mudcat, Lyn.

WassaiL! V

We usually do face to face stuff at the Gatherings although a fair number of us get to Whitby and we do have 'meets'at other festivals.

You can even get discounted lemonade from Mrs Lemon on the strenght of being a Mudcatter.

A fire eating duck! What a novelty, self cooking birds. Why didn't I think of that.

how do you find out who they actually are?

some just leave clues about their person, while others wear badges.

some never reveal their identity,
and some guests and trolls you
would rather NOT know who they
are, and would wish they would
just go away.

Glad you've joined up Lynne - I'm sure that you'll find plenty of interest. Do remember that the open threads which you see when you look through the forum (usually ones which have been active in the last 24 hours - although you can use refresh to see a longer period) are only a tiny tip of the iceberg. If you are looking for information on any subject try performing a search on the forum - there's years of information there. Of course if it's a song you're after there's also the Digital Tradition (DT). I'm sure you'll find it useful.

I'll have to try and make it to Waltham Abbey now.
