I'll be there with you in thought - have a good banquet and raise a glass of port to me at about 2.00 am Sunday morning, and I'll raise mine to you. |

12 Aug 04 - 03:11 PM (#1246072) Subject: RE: Wareham Wail 2004 From: treaties1 Help, there are two threads on the Wail and Ive just posted a plea for a lift on the one titled "wareham wail" so I'm going to repeat it here as well, hope no ones offended I've sent off my cheque and I'm looking forward to a great weekend However I've just checked train travel from Manchester, and discovered that journey time(s) and ticket cost is a bit OTT. Is there anyone travelling from a shorter distance, who could offer me a lift from a convenient railway station on or near their route? If there is, I would be really grateful and obviously pay my way. Theresa |

27 Aug 04 - 01:51 PM (#1258335) Subject: RE: Wareham Wail 2004 From: Herga Kitty Chris I've just caught up with this on my return home from Whitby. It would be great if you could make it to Wareham next weekend! The Wail is a festival of unaccompanied singing. There are no big names, but a mix of invited singers whom Alan likes, and thinks other people will like, and others who come because they like to sing. There are 3 marquees, with a bar in each, providing different types of song event. One is the Middle Bar's home from home, one is run like a folk club, with floor spots, and one is usually just jump in and sing. There's a mediaeval midnight banquet on the Saturday night (and a costume workshop on Saturday afternoon for anyone looking for suitable mediaeval garb). Kitty |

31 Aug 04 - 05:57 PM (#1261102) Subject: RE: Wareham Wail 2004 From: alanww I agree, Kitty, but there seem to be so many clashes nowadays:- * Liverpool Seafest / Alcester FF / Beverley FF (June) * Swansea Seafest / Saddleworth FF (July) * Hull Seafest / Whitby FF (Aug) * Bridgnorth FF / Towersey FF (Aug) * Bromyard FF / Swanage FF / Great Yarmouth Seafest (Sept)... ... to mention just a few others.

05 Sep 04 - 07:22 AM (#1264645) Subject: RE: Wareham Wail 2004 From: GUEST,Canberra Chris (guesting) Sorry, just can't get to the Wareham Wail. Stopped in Chester to catch up with the Poms-from-Oz on their last couple of days touring UK, great hospitality from Frank Wigglesworth and the mob at the Cross-Keys and house-party for 'last night of the Poms'. My 10 yr old nephew discovered, and started playing folk music, so it was all in a good cause. But we didn't get back down in time for the next leg. Maybe I'll catch up with the Middle Bar at Sidmouth if they sing on regular, as I will be down that way in the next week, and Helga Kitty in London? I'll be coming through there over the next couple of weeks. Canberra Chris |
