d.elliott Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 You obviously have not picked up the fact the Royal is at a village with the proud name of 'Dungworth', now there is a name to inspire free thought Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Stephenson Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 OK. Hear is a group photo showing a prile of 'magic thruppeny bits' also from the first Royal session. Hows this for a collective noun - a shoal of Crabbs............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLucas Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Hows this for a collective noun - a shoal of Crabbs............. I was thinking maybe a "scuttle" of crabs. But I guess that's like bringing coals to Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Dickey Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Well Peter I have to say I have been thinking.You are perhaps a bit removed from the *geordie* scene to be called the *singin' hinny's* Just got to come up with something eh? Sharron Well Sharon, perhaps you should be getting out with your camera and tape recorder to the "Colpitts", "Cock 'o' the North", "The Angel", "The County" or wherever they have a proper Geordie session these days, and let us hear a bit of Northumbrian music and see a few players as I for one have become starved of a bit of true culture since being exiled to Sheffield for the last 20-odd years.

Peter Stephenson Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Yes Pete I remember a cracking session at the Turks Head in Shields on a Sunday 'dinner time', but it's proberbly long gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharron Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Well The Ship in South Shields is still going on a Sunday evening. I haven't been for a few years but I know it is still going strong with a very friendly bunch. I go to an Irish session on a Sunday so the two clash. The Turks has long since gone I believe. Pete, I am sorry but I am playing only 99.999% irish tunes. Those ballads of death and sinking ships leave me a bit depressed, so I stick with the uplifting dance tunes instead. So, I am sorry to say the folk scene doesn't see much of me and my hubby now. There is a cracking folk club at Washington though, and if there has been an act on that appealed, then I have attended. Plus it is a Saturday night which has no conflict, there are no sessions to be found on Saturdays that I can find. But oh how sad those songs are, some are quite beautiful, but sooooo sad There are funny ones and rude ones too, but the sad ones seem to rule up here. I am off out tonight for a few tunes, and Wednesday too I think, so I will come back home fulfilled and humming tunes to myself in my sleep. Night night Sharron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Stephenson Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Sharron you must mean the Davy Lamp club at the Biddick arts center. I took my daughter Lucy there a few weeks ago after an evening on the Razz in Newcastle, Vin Garbutt was playing and it was packed. They had to tear the paper off the walls to let us in. When all over the country folk clubs are struggling in the north east the tradition still holds strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Day Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 There is only one thing better than Prebbs in action photo and that is to sit next to him in action. Smashing company and great player. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffwright Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Sharron Well Sharon, perhaps you should be getting out with your camera and tape recorder to the "Colpitts", "Cock 'o' the North", "The Angel", "The County" or wherever they have a proper Geordie session these days, and let us hear a bit of Northumbrian music and see a few players as I for one have become starved of a bit of true culture since being exiled to Sheffield for the last 20-odd years. Pete Pete, There was no shortage of Northumbrian tunes played at the last Royal, even if the players were not of Durham standard. I intend to play as much Northumbrian this month as well.
