02 Nov 06 - 06:51 PM (#1875059) Subject: RE: Doncaster folk weekend From: BanjoRay If you head North out of Doncaster over the big new bridge over the Don, go left at the roundabout and it's a few yards to the Three Horseshoes, on the true left bank of the Don. Ray |

03 Nov 06 - 11:18 AM (#1875414) Subject: RE: Doncaster folk weekend From: r.padgett It is an old folk venue and approachable from the A1M Jct Barnsley/Doncaster. Come in on that road and turn right into Doncaster on the 'Old A1' from memory its near the A19 road (but dont go on it) and just under the bridge on the left parking there abouts Take care regarding new road now in place Also not too far from bus and train stations but watch night transport as it aint funny on a bus with a belly full of beer Ray |

04 Nov 06 - 05:12 AM (#1875902) Subject: RE: Doncaster folk weekend From: GUEST,Peter Taylor Directions: The address is The Three Horseshoes, St. Mary's Bridge, Town End, DN5 9AG. There is a large roundabout where the A19 meets the A638 and it's literally just off that, you can see it as you go round. The outer two lanes filter you over the new bridge, but you can always go round again. It's the road leading to the station and the Fishergate Centre. Programme: The plan is for singarounds, where you will be welcome to sing, play, join in with others or just listen and enjoy. It won't be a concert with performances. That's the two evenings. If there's a call for workshops we'll listen, otherwise just more singing etc. Start about 20.30 Friday, 15.00 and 20.30 Saturday. |

04 Nov 06 - 05:58 AM (#1875928) Subject: RE: Doncaster folk weekend From: Strollin' Johnny Ah! Smoking! Sorry, I'd love to come, only half-an-hour's drive for me, but I'm not keen on being poisoned by smoke. I'd bet a pound to a pinch of sh*t that you'd get a far better attendance if you made it non-smoking. And it would be good practice for when it's forced on everyone (Hoorah! Bring it on!). |

04 Nov 06 - 06:06 AM (#1875933) Subject: RE: Doncaster folk weekend From: Rasener When are organisers going to protect the performers and audience and bar staff against smoking. I am with Strollin' there. |

04 Nov 06 - 12:11 PM (#1876124) Subject: RE: Doncaster folk weekend From: Zany Mouse I must admit Mick and I are thinking of trying to make it on the Friday evening (Saturday evening already booked - in fact, double-booked) but I'm not very keen on the smoke. Does it get REALLY bad? Rhiannon |

04 Nov 06 - 12:23 PM (#1876131) Subject: RE: Doncaster folk weekend From: Richard Bridge A smoking drinking session? Too damn far, what a shame, I'd love to come but it's too damned far. I'm a non-smoker but there is something about the right atmosphere..... |

05 Nov 06 - 04:53 PM (#1876977) Subject: RE: Doncaster folk weekend From: GUEST,bobcat Maybe possible to make the room being used for the weekend to be a non-smoking venue....watch this space and see what can be done..I too hate smokey venues but love to support events so maybe the landlady will go for a smoke free singing area?? |

05 Nov 06 - 05:27 PM (#1877001) Subject: RE: Doncaster folk weekend From: Zany Mouse Bobcat: That sounds good. Rhiannon |

05 Nov 06 - 05:59 PM (#1877018) Subject: RE: Doncaster folk weekend From: GUEST,observer whilst agreeing that a smoke free singing room would be good, the Landlady may not Know what support she will get so maybe if as many people as possible get behind it and give full support she will think that to acceed to a non-smoking room is a very good idea. I think it's great that Doncaster having a folk weekend after so long of not having one is wonderful so Bobcat KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK and we will live in the knowledge that all folk will soon be smoke free. ob |

06 Nov 06 - 02:31 AM (#1877225) Subject: RE: Doncaster folk weekend From: Sooz Doncaster is actually having a Folk Festival; 9th - 11th February 2007. Artists already booked include Tom Napper, Tom Bliss, Grace Notes, John Conolly and Ray Hearne. All based at the Ukrainian Club thanks to a grant from Awards For All. |

06 Nov 06 - 08:24 AM (#1877361) Subject: RE: Doncaster folk weekend From: GUEST,Peter Taylor It's good to see so much interest aroused. I hope the festival organisers will get in to see what's going on, and I have already noted their dates in my diary. I believe the bar is a non-smoking area,(and I'm not impressed by that idea either, since smoke, like the wind, cannot read), and we'll talk to the landlady and see what else can be done. But we are there to promote her pub as a venue for folk music, so we have to work with her. |

06 Nov 06 - 12:01 PM (#1877495) Subject: RE: Doncaster folk weekend From: GUEST,SJ about to leave the Mill and go for a lie It needs to be pointed out to her that the majority of Folkies like poisoning THEMSELVES with beer, but object to OTHER DIRTY BUGGERS poisoning them with smoke. She'll get a lot more people in there drinking her beer if they can be sure they'll be able to breathe in there. :-) S:0) |

06 Nov 06 - 01:48 PM (#1877566) Subject: RE: Doncaster folk weekend From: Georgiansilver I used to smoke until 1991 and in 1996 I was found to have an allergy to cigarette smoke so will not attend smoky venues.....knackered my voice to some extent too.... |

06 Nov 06 - 06:37 PM (#1877824) Subject: RE: Doncaster folk weekend From: Zany Mouse Smoke affects Mick's asthma and it does my vice in very quickly. I'm really pleased that most folk venues are non-smoking now. Rhiannon |

08 Nov 06 - 01:39 PM (#1879290) Subject: RE: Doncaster folk weekend From: Doug Chadwick My need to make music overrides my dislike of smoky places, so I'll be there this weekend. I probably won't make it on Friday before about 10.00 p.m. DC |

08 Nov 06 - 02:44 PM (#1879378) Subject: RE: Doncaster folk weekend From: Strollin' Johnny My need not to be made to feel like shite overrides my need to make music! I admire your fortitude Doug, but I'm just recovering from one life-threatening illness, I'm not about to expose myself to what is undoubtedly the major cause of another. :-( I'm sure it'll be a great weekend without me. Hopefully it'll be smoke-free next year and I'll come and inflict my dubious talents upon the gathered multitude! LOL! S:0) |

08 Nov 06 - 04:39 PM (#1879490) Subject: RE: Doncaster folk weekend From: GUEST,bobcat Should be a great weekend..and am still optimistic about level of smoke..but lt's not forget the idea is to promote folk and traditional music in Doncaster and have a great weekend!! |
