20 May 04 - 03:51 AM (#1189335) Subject: Otley Folk Club - New Venue From: GUEST,Otley Stalwart Otley Folk Club (West Yorkshire) had its final 'meet' in the Three Horseshoes last night (after some nine years there). Landlord Joe is leaving (and made a heart-tugging speech) and the club now moves (round a couple of bends of the main road through the town) to the back room of Korks Wine Bar - two doors on from the Junction Inn (with an Indian Restuarant between - convenient!). There are two car parks only half a minute's walk away (round the side of the Junction) if the roadside parking is taken. First night in the newly revamped room is on Wednesday 26th May (starting 8.30pm) - the main guest being the wonderful Stanley Accrington, with sizeable support spots from Northern Lights and the Duncan McFarlane Band (acoustic). We hope old friends - and new! - will make the new home their own. |

20 May 04 - 06:56 AM (#1189450) Subject: RE: Otley Folk Club - New Venue From: GUEST,Duncan McFarlane I have a deek most days here Breezy - message received and understood. El G WILL be booked as I've had a discussion with th'organiser on the subject. Will take time though, as the guests are booked way into the future, and he's a lot on: Not least the Club move! - organising the festival for Sept - playing gigs with his various bands - playing for Morris sides and more! Stanley Accrington (in my humble...) is ACE! WELL worth you booking. Incredibly funny - marvellously inventive material - a delight! Then, just as you think it's all humour, he throws in summat poignant. I've definitely cried with laughter.. and then with a hint of sadness - all in the same Stan Acc evening. Top rate, I say! (No, I'm not his agent! - Hardly spoken more than three sentences to him in me ol' life!) He's always booked at Whitby Fest - all week - go see him! He's at Saddleworth this year too - prob'ly loads more - u search? All the best - DMcF |

Late 19thC and clearly brought back from India by British troops. The phrase 'Have a decko' later became even shorter…. 'Have a deek' You aint been 'avin' a deek at nuff (British made) b/w war films – Standard Sunday afternoon TV matinee fodder for years on the Beeb. Them squaddies were always having a decko under the bonnet when their engines packed in. |
