stuart estell Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Yes, definitely - plus my mate Ian, the other half of the duo we play as... (I'm sure that's not very good grammar but I'm too tired to bother correcting it - you know what I mean ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 When/where is it to be held? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauline de snoo Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 When/where is it to be held? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is always in Swaledale in the UK. Mail to jedwards@wrenbeck.u-net.com for info. There are always some people from far away countries. It is in a Youth Hostel and this is situated in a very picturesque spot on a hill with a view over the dales. So besides the concertina playing great walking too. Wonderful atmosphere and a ceilidh on Saturday night. Pauline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Harrison Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 ......Yep........I'll be representing Canada. I organised a tour for the Toronto Morris Men last summer and we stayed in the hostel at Grinton (where the week-end is set) and had the BEST time imaginable, including a lock-in at the pub down the road. I'm going to be collecting a new 4-voiced Frans VanderAa ADG accordion that week so that can be played by who-ever wishes. Looking forward to meeting everyone there !!

d.elliott Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I have been asked to run a concertina clinic (repairs, problems & self help) on the Saturday afternoon, so I will be there......... Bring out your dead, the suspect, the anoying.. the halt and the lame. Or just rip an instrument apart for fun, stop watches and blind folds are provided by Jane E.

Peter Brook Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I can't be there but wish you all well. I do hope that someone will sing the "Swaledale Anthem" or "Song of the Swale" during the course of the weekend - one of my favourites which I learned through the Sheffield Carols. Chorus goes: "In that beautiful dale, Home of the Swale How well do I love thee, how well do I love thee Beautiful dale, home of the swale Beautiful, beautiful dale!" If it is unknown I can point you in the direction of a recording "A Festival of Village Carols" published by Ian Russel under the "Village Carols" umbrella.
