22 Nov 04 - 05:42 PM (#1335759) Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui and Kendall From: Herga Kitty No, it's Plaistow in the East End of London, and the same pub where Micca and Khatt organised the Catters gathering for Kendall and Sorcha in April. (I've posted to the BS thread to point out that Haddenham folk day in Buckinghamshire is the day before.) Kitty |

22 Nov 04 - 05:42 PM (#1335761) Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui and Kendall From: McGrath of Harlow Well, there is a Plaistow in New Hapmpshire, but this one is in London. You'll have to wait till they get back and organise a "welcome back" session. |

22 Nov 04 - 06:33 PM (#1335852) Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui and Kendall From: GUEST,Julia & Fred Darn! we could actually have made it if it were in NH. Phoowey!!Actually, I wondered why we had not heard of this wondrous pub before We'll just have to find a convenient and convivial alehouse that night in the Portland (Maine) area, toast in their honor and then do it again when they get back. Anyone care to join us after our gig in Kennebunkport? BTW Cheers tae the both of yez, Jacqui & Kendall J&F |

23 Nov 04 - 12:22 AM (#1336143) Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaisto From: Peter K (Fionn) Hi Khatt. I live very close to Newark, which is also on their itinerary. On the other hand, the prospect of meeting up with jOhn too, at another point along the tour, is very tempting. But on the third hand, Plaistow looks like being my best chance. So the third hand it is. See you in the Black Lion. |

23 Nov 04 - 07:25 AM (#1336343) Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: jacqui.c Sounds like this is going to be good. I would like to make one request. Kendall is still getting over the laser surgery on his vocal cords and is unable to tolerate a smoky atmosphere. I know we can't stop any pub locals from smoking but it would be appreciated if Mudcatters could avoid smoking in the vicinity. I feel a bit bad asking this but it would mean that he could enjoy the session more. |

23 Nov 04 - 07:42 AM (#1336351) Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaisto From: McGrath of Harlow Perhaps there could be Christmas Carols outside for people who are dying for a smoke. (That's another interesting phrase...) |

23 Nov 04 - 08:02 AM (#1336366) Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: manitas_at_work It's amazing isn't it? The thread title says "..5th Dec. Plaistow UK.." and people are complaining that Kat isn't indicating when and where. Admittedly there are several Plaistows in the Uk but it does say UK. Ellen, the District Line is a better bet. Oh, I dare say Liz, Limpit and I will be there. |

23 Nov 04 - 10:32 AM (#1336484) Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: IanC Coincidentally, it's also the Ashwell village session's 10th birthday at The Rose & Crown, High Street, Ashwell. We started with a "Marathon Singalongathon" (sing, say, pay or play) 10 years ago and we're doing the same again 12-5 on Saturday 4th December. Jacqui, you're welcome along and bring Kendall. It's the Ashwell at Christmas, so there'll be a few things going on in the morning (it's a bit low key this year) and the church choir have promised to join us near the start and sing a few carols etc. Much love Ian |

23 Nov 04 - 01:47 PM (#1336676) Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: Ellenpoly Someone remind me of which way I turn when I get out of the Plaistow Tube station? (I'll read this with my A to Z on my lap.) And yeah manitas, the District line makes the best sense since my reindeer are also on loan until the New Year. Jacqui, as per your request...thank you for making it. Kendall's as good an excuse as anyone, but it means I'll also be able to stay for more than a half (cough) an hour as well. I really hated having to leave early the last time (and my own fault for not having said anything.) ..xx..e |

23 Nov 04 - 02:09 PM (#1336685) Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaistow UK From: Catherine Jayne Ellen....when you come out of Plaistow tube station turn right. IF there is no general public we can request that no-one smokes. If people want to smoke they can go through to the other bar but we can't say no smoking if there are members of the public in the back bar as there is a sign on the door that says smoking allowed throughout. The pub isn't very busy on a Sunday so it shouldn't really be a problem. Hope to see many catter there who can make it! |

23 Nov 04 - 06:35 PM (#1336994) Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaisto From: Peter K (Fionn) Kendall and Jaqui, McGrath's mention of carols reminds me that when you're travelling from Newark to 'Ull, take a detour along the A616 to catch one of the seasonal sessions of proper pub singing that are underway in south Yorkshire at this time of year (weekend lunchtimes and evenings). It's a stunning experience - daunting even - and utterly unique. HERE's a thread that explains the tradition; try PMing Malcolm Douglas for up-to-date info about this year's sessions. It would be crazy to get so close and miss the opportunity. |

24 Nov 04 - 03:09 PM (#1337981) Subject: RE: Session For Jacqui & Kendall 5th Dec. Plaisto From: Peter K (Fionn) Manitas, it seems to be open season for renaming, amalgamating and otherwise knocking around threads in mid-flow. It leaves some posts looking odd (for instance referring to a thread originator who is no longer the thread originator, or referring to an earlier post that has disappeared). I did query the policy, but other catters seemed happy with the results. |

Ellenpoly, no-one introduced us so I didn't get to say hello properly! Hello Properly! I am sole sober occupant of Hangover House today (if you don't include the cats) and even I'm not feeling too bright! Manitas only just left for work, nearly 2 hours late, Bassic is still in his bed - which he only found after the Duvet Fairy found him asleep on the sofa and covered him up - after application of tea and toast, he returned to it and will probably be there for a while! Thanks to everyone who signed the Dave Bryant book of Get it better or Else! - it will be delivered to either himself (if I can get the pictures in time) or to Essex Girl to pass to him in the next day or so. Thanks again for a lovely session, it should become a regular feature - all we need to do is arrange for a non-UK Mudcatter to visit us once a month... get Morty into her Dominatrix gear, sorry, organiser mode, and we could restart Plaistow Folk Club!!

Plaistow UK From: Ellenpoly Um, hello Liz, I guess you um, forgot that I was actually at your house when freda was visiting and you had that nice lunch for her before the Black Lion (again)?? How soon they forget. Then again, I was hardly the life of the party, being mostly shy and retiring into the dark corners. Or maybe it's because I still don't have an official Mudcat Name Badge... In any case, Properly or otherwise, I enjoyed seeing you, your harmonium (yes? that's what it is?) playing husband, and sharp-toothed daughter yesterday. I noticed Limpet left her teethmark on that card to Dave Bryant, who you said she'd bit the last time they'd met. Nice touch to the card! Hope to see you all again...and next time I'll come up and remind you who I am (Maybe bite you?? ;-D) (Nice meeting Bassic as well, btw, who also may not remember, from your description of his morning state. Bassic, do please give a hug to Rumanci next time you see her, from me?) ..xx..e |

Biting will no longer be necessary... I guess because you were so shy and didn't speak much, I didn't get the accent, that's what was confusing me. Bassic's morning state got worse.. I looked up to find him standing behind me wearing naught but a towel..... He should have used the bath towel rather than the hand towel...... I may never be the same! Manitas plays melodeon, but I daresay would play harmonium if you could find one for him! Hopefully it won't be too long before we meet again.. Must go and see if Bassic needs more tea. He's on his fifth pot. LTS |

It was so good to catch up with old friends and to meet new ones and to marvel again at what the Mudcat means to so many people. Special thanks to Leadfingers for the loan of his banjo (although Kendall would have preferred the other one!- grin)and to LanFranc for the guitar. We hope to get to Leicestershire on the 16th and meet up with some of you again and maybe even more. We're going to have to give Waltham Abbey a miss tonight - we've been pushing it a bit hard since last Tuesday - but are set for the Lion at Harlow tomorrow and the Millstream in Port Vale Hertford on Wednesday, before travelling to Newark on Thursday. Oncw we're there we;ll be back on line for a while and checking up on relatively local sessions - Friday night is booked babysitting, unfortunately - how's Gainsborough about admitting children? |
