Small and intimate (Ooooooh Matron!) and loads of fun. Come on you lot out there, come and join us for a weekend of frolics and good music. SJ :0) |

11 Oct 04 - 12:50 PM (#1294350) Subject: RE: Gainsborough Folk Festival From: Georgiansilver Nowt wrong with a good hug with a friend...true not everyone likes hugs but it engenders a sort of closeness with the chosen ones.

17 Oct 04 - 03:09 AM (#1298851) Subject: RE: Gainsborough Folk Festival From: Sooz I've had eight mudcat hugs plus a few strays (non-catters). Yesterday was indeed fairly amazing! Jez just gets better and the contrast with Cockersdale made them both stand out. Brimmo was hilarious and that Julie Ellison is simply brilliant. What a concert. More to come today though, although at a steadier pace! This afternoon the main concert has Cara, Mark Campbell and Paul Bellamy, John Conolly and Bill Whaley and Dave Fletcher. Come along and join us (3pm) |

17 Oct 04 - 03:10 AM (#1298853) Subject: RE: Gainsborough Folk Festival From: Strollin' Johnny GS - he's a banjo-player, and a jolly nice chap. You'da met him at the Ceilidh if you'da bin there!! They seek hime here, they seek him there..............................!! :0) Great Festival Folk Club in the magnificent surroundings of the Old Hall (15th Century Manor-House/Moot Hall). Excellent concerts there yesterday, and at the Trinity Arts Centre last evening. Stars? Too many to mention them all but I was personally blown away by Julie Ellison (gob-smacking guitar and beautiful, beautiful vocals) and Skatz (Stylish energetic performances of finely crafted self-penned songs - 'The Elephant Man' being typical - humorous, perceptive and Music-Hall in character, but at the same time compassionate and moving). It's been a magic festival so far - looking forward to anothe great final day. SJ :0) (And the 'Poacher' is eminently truggable). |

17 Oct 04 - 03:48 AM (#1298871) Subject: RE: Gainsborough Folk Festival From: Strollin' Johnny Mrs. Johnny trugged her fair share last night and she's confirmed my view of 'Poacher' this morning. LOL! |

17 Oct 04 - 04:16 AM (#1298878) Subject: RE: Gainsborough Folk Festival From: Rasener Its unfortunate that I can't attend today (Sunday) I have to compliment the Gainsborough Folk Club for putting on such an excellent event. All too often, the work required in the background to make such an event succesful goes unoticed. I won't mention names, but those that contributed will know who they ara and deserve a gold star. I support the comments made by Mrs Sooze and Strollin' Johnny. I particularly enjoyed the Friday evening Floorspot event in the Great Hall, even if I was pulling pints all night hic, hic, hic. The same can be said for the afternoon concert yesterday where Bob Cleveland did an excellent job of Mc'ing the event and singing such lovely songs with excellent guitar backing by Ernie Geddes - Well done Bob. What can you say about Brian Dawson and Bill Meek and John Conolly that hasn't already been said before. Thoroughly enjoyable concert. Last night was first class and I re-iterate the comments made by Sooz and SJ. If I had to pick out a song from last night that I enjoyed the most, it would be very difficult, because I enjoyed them all. However, I can't resist making a comment about one song in particular. It was "Greek Lightning" sung by Jez Lowe and the Bad Pennies. It was awesome and sung and played with such feel. Beeeeeeeeeaaaaaaauuuuuutiful. |
|
17 Oct 04 - 05:46 AM (#1298901) Subject: RE: Gainsborough Folk Festival From: Georgiansilver Of all Jez Lowes' songs..."Durham Jail" does it for me...It has everything...great words..great tune and a magical overall sound. Looking forward to todays concerts...the main one particularly. Be sad to see it all end tonight but....life has to go on....Keep music live!!! as Travelling Audience say. Best wishes. |

17 Oct 04 - 05:27 PM (#1299228) Subject: RE: Gainsborough Folk Festival From: Travelling Audience Another brilliant Gainsborough Festival. Cannot single anyone out 'cos they were all so excellent. Both The Old Hall and The Trinity Arts Centre makes for a great atmosphere. Well done Sooz & Co. for a great week-end. Keep music live...TA |
|
17 Oct 04 - 05:44 PM (#1299237) Subject: RE: Gainsborough Folk Festival From: Georgiansilver Mr and Mrs Sooz. Thanks in so many ways for a great Festival...without you it would never have happened I'm sure. Thanks on a personal level also for singing "that song" at the survivors gathering. Best wishes, Mike. |

18 Oct 04 - 02:46 AM (#1299473) Subject: RE: Gainsborough Folk Festival From: Gaucho Listen Guys, what can I say? I just had a cracking day on Saturday. Workshops were great. Julie's on guitar was really helpful and more than enough tips and exercises to keep me going for the rest of me days! The singing workshop with Cockerdale was great. Lots of rounds and harmony rendition of Roll on the Day at the end blew my socks off (well I have been wearing them for a week). And songwriting with Jez in the vestry. Again helpful and delivered with real humility from one of the country's leading word and tunesmiths, in my view. Real pleasure to be there and that's without the concerts. I loved Bill Meek's sense of humour. His performance with John Connolly was one of my highlights. Also Julie, Derek Brimstone and Jez and the Bad Pennies all fantastic. Thanks to all the organisers and stewards, I'm still on cloud nine! I just need a month or two to let it all distil. Thanks to you all for the welcome and hard work. And also to villain for the push that got the yellowbellies project going. Got the CD and am really enjoying that too. G |

18 Oct 04 - 06:56 AM (#1299578) Subject: RE: Gainsborough Folk Festival From: Strollin' Johnny Still alive, if bruised, battered and exhausted! A fantastic weekend all round. Wonderful contributions (some way above and beyond the call of duty) from the vast majority of the artists, a fine crowd of listeners and sing-arounders, and a small but perfectly formed group of organisers/helpers who sometimes moved not only Heaven, but Earth too, in order to keep everything running smoothly and on time. Thanks to Sooz and Mr. Sooz for their hard work - their computer's worn to a frazzle with e-mailing, producing leaflets, flyers, programmes etc., and Mr. Sooz's new super-duper camera earned it's expensive price-ticket big-style! :0) High-spots for me were the brilliant and incredibly hard-working Skatz and his pal (who played non-stop for an hour and forty minutes when the next artists couldn't be bothered to organise themselves to turn up on time), 'Sensible Shoes' who drove me insensible with their stunning, soaring harmonies and dry wit, Julie Ellison who is the finest female guitarist in Britain if not the world, a great singer and a lovely lady, and everyone who played in the main concert on Sunday - Cara, Bill Whaley & Dave Fletcher and the great man, John Connolly. Huge talents of which we Yellowbellies are rightly very very proud. |

18 Oct 04 - 07:14 AM (#1299595) Subject: RE: Gainsborough Folk Festival From: Sooz SJ You forgot to mention Mark Campbell and Paul Bellamy from yesterday! They were excellent as well. I echo your comments about Skatz - he will be back! Glad you are feeling better this morning Paul (I saw you eating the salted peanuts at lunchtime) Have you sorted out the keys? My Mudcat hug-count went up to eleven yesterday:-) Lost count of the strays though. Thanks to everyone for their lovely comments - Mike and I still have a warm glow which should keep us going for a few weeks. Must get on with next year's festival........... |

20 Oct 04 - 03:21 AM (#1301412) Subject: RE: Gainsborough Folk Festival From: Strollin' Johnny St. Hugh's Church Hall, Scunthorpe - The Martin Danks Memorial Shindig. Two bands have re-formed specially for this one-off evening - 'The Dimps' and 'The Strollers Rock 'n' Roll Extravaganza'. Both bands are playing free of charge (in view of the years that have passed since the members last played together, 'playing free' might well be a description of the musical quality! ROFL!) and proceeds will go to Cancer charity. Martin (who died of cancer recently) was a member of both bands and a wonderful boogie-woogie pianist. And it will be Strollin' Johnny's LAST-EVER performance in a R&R band - the ceremonial burning of the red drape jacket and retirement follow as sure as night follows day. Rehearsal tonight - here we go............"Ah-Well-A bless-a mah soul-a what's a-wrong with me, I'm itchin' like a..........." But this has got sod-all to do with the Gainsborough Folk Festival I hear you all cry. Don't blame me, Les started it! (LOL). SJ :0) |

Humping 10,000-watt PAs/lighting/backline amps/drums has lost its appeal! LOL! The Elvis wig's already been fire-backed! (ROFL!) JB :0) |

20 Oct 04 - 01:22 PM (#1301930) Subject: RE: Gainsborough Folk Festival From: Tutti Flutey You could probably have an extremely good guess as to my identity Gerry - it didn't take me long to work out who you were. that banjo's a dead giveaway. I tried to include the sax in my name as well but it got too complicated - you know me - simplicity is best. C ya Tues K |

21 Oct 04 - 12:50 PM (#1303027) Subject: RE: Gainsborough Folk Festival From: Tutti Flutey Way to mention that ceilidh! In my bias opinion that fantastic event is not mentioned enough here. What did you think folks? Too cold to come? Like we cared about freezing our little socks off! We had a brilliant time and enjoyed ourselves come what may. in the spirit of plugging - come check us out another time then you'd all know who we were! |

21 Oct 04 - 02:01 PM (#1303082) Subject: RE: Gainsborough Folk Festival From: the fence Freezing our little whats off? Yep it was brilliant, taking part in the ceilidh soon warmed everyone up. Really enjoyed all the activities and workshops, just wish I could have stayed till the end of Sunday(never mind, there is always next year). |

28 Oct 04 - 08:16 AM (#1309459) Subject: RE: Gainsborough Folk Festival From: Oaklet The photo of Cara in the Trinity Arts Centre clearly shows the continence buckets placed at the feet of the violinist. How did the organisers know that I tend to leak a bit when nervous or excited? Anyway, great photos Sooz and thanks for sharing them. |

28 Oct 04 - 12:18 PM (#1309644) Subject: RE: Gainsborough Folk Festival From: Banjo-Flower And opposite me in the 1st photo is new mudcatter Tutti Flutey well done Mr Sooz Gerry |

28 Oct 04 - 03:25 PM (#1309817) Subject: RE: Gainsborough Folk Festival From: Tutti Flutey Crikey don't we look spaced out on picture number 1. it must be that lagging Sunday feeling, OR, we have no idea what we are doing. then again I'm not one for photos of me anyway, I'm sure you can see why. The best place for me would have been sitting where Banjo-flower is - the back of me is probably my best side. Quick plug for those in the Scunthorpe area Ceilidh for BBC Children in Need with the Rosianna Ceilidh Band and friends 20th Nov at St Hugh's Church Hall, Scunthorpe 8pm. C U THERE |
