a caithness festival?

[Gleber2]

True, I didnt even think of that. Also with what Fats said earlier about a folk festival. Didnt even know one had existed.

I dont have a lot to do with the big gig this year, however I will be attending and lending my support.

What amazes me is all the suggestions of folk wanting different stuff, poetry, traditional music ect. Have any of these folks approached K Dragon and suggested, or offered their help, to make these part of the big gig?

The Viewfirth Folk Club held a series of very popular festivals at Viewfirth in the early seventies which attracted a worldwide audience and some of the biggest folk act of the time. The sessions were held in various hotels etc around town and culminated in an outdoor concert all day Saturday.
Petty political squables led to the end of this club and pettiness stopped it re-emerging in a different form.

Can't find anyone who'll have me. I have to play with myself now...

[Jeid]

G2, were the various gigs or the outdoor concert free? Formal clubs (which can be brilliant for getting things moving) can end up as a total nightmare if personal agendas get control.
Any hints for a rejuvenation of the FC, or for helping get a better run at the Big Gig?

Of course it may have been more than four - But then as a drummer I wouldn't know

[Jeid]

Is that because you can only count to four? haha

[Tubthumper]

My flams have sunk, my cymbals have dropped and I paradiddle constantly - who would have me??

[Tubthumper]

Finally!
There's not much gets past you, is there? Who was it said drummers were slow on the uptake...

The outside gig was free but the indoor ones had a charge. I was never involved in this festival as I didn't live in Caithness at the time.

drummers actually count in multiples of 2, as drummers (bonham being the exception) only use 2 sticks. So show me anyone that counts to 4 & I'll call them a bassist & anybody that counts to 6 is a guitarist. Obviously anyone that counts to 7 & beyond is obviously martian or somewhere equally far out.
