I like the idea of Stroud; but I didn't manage to get to York this year in spite of keeping the weekend free and booking accommodation - something else came up...
I'm unlikely to make it again for a few years, unless our (in)frequent flyer miles miraculously accumulate and/or the exchange rate drops a lot. But I'll...
Steve, My point kind of links 2 and 3. Late june/early July is right in the middle of the morris season, with lots of sides doing weekends etc. I haven't been...
... I agree with this completely. I've so far made it to just one IPATF, but I'd like to make it back for more. Part of what prevented me from attending this...
Hello taborers. Gwilym and I will be taboring our way to Catalunya with the Gloucestershire Morris Men later this month. We will be guests of the Bal de...
Just a note about 'Passacalles de Phil Day', the tune Juanma wrote in memory of Phil. We played it extensively at the IPATF in York, and Ronny mailed me to ...
Hi Steve, Sorry to have been slow to reply to your posting about IPATF 2007, but what do you expect when you post at the start of Sidmouth Folk Week! :^) My...
A few points about the Sidmouth festival venue suggestion: - accommodation unless you are prepared to camp is difficult to find - requires a week off work -...
Sidmouth is not such a bad idea as Vicky makes out. As of this year's Folkweek just ended the main campsite was available to all (not just week season...
I did only say 'could put some off' I tried nearly a year in advance to find B&B or self catering and the best I could find were towns/villages a car or bike...
Off to Catalunya today. Dancing at the weekend with GMM at the Torredembarra Bal de Bastoners festa. Meeting Angel whilst I am there - I hope to meet some...
Had a great time in Catalunya. The Bastoners fest was excellent, and the hospitality second to none. Plus I can recommend to anyone the idea of holding a...
Hello Steve Hello friends Glad to see that you enjoyed your travel to Catalonia and hope to see you again very soon. We will be very happy to send a bastoners...
Next one in North Ronaldsay, then? Fantastic beach, warm sea, and the B & B bar has more single malts than there are people on the island... Stephen Rowley...
Does "warm" mean the same thing in your dialect of English as it does in mine? :-) I'd consider "warm sea" to be 75-80F (24-26C). --Dennis Sherman Chicago,...
I am planning to go to the Festa del Flabiol this year - Arbúcies 2006 27 -28th October http://flabiol.trad.org/festa/2006/programa.html Anyone else going? ...
The sea in Cornwall was "warm" last week approx. 15C :) (I'm sure this is tabor related...!) ... From: tabor_n_pipe@yahoogroups.com...

I was sailing along the Normandy coast last week and we spent a couple of nights in Honfleur. There is an amazing sailors church - St Katherine's I understand...
hi stephen! I've always wanted to visit Honfleur - it was besieged unsucessfully by Henry V, which led up to the slaughter of Azincourt, as you surely know -...

Good to hear from you Michael, There are three (at least) interesting churches in Honfleur. St Catherines, I mentioned. Then an earlier one on the quayside...
How nice of you to reply so informatively! I hope to get down there in the not-too-distant future. Do you know anything about HARfleur, which is not very far...

Hi, Just unlurking to say that if you do a google search for Harfleur [I was bored so I had a look], you get quite a lot about the Seige of Harfleur including...
To bring back the P&T element, I do remember someone saying they had been playing the Agincourt Carol on P&T. A real feat of perseverance. I have never made...

Hello folks, I looked at the sam Coulter website and I am considering putting the Medieval Tabor pipe on my christmas wish list. Does anyone any any experience...
About a year ago I had Sam Coulter make me a G tabor pipe, and I had him fashion it after his 'Dordrecht' recorder, with a recorder-style duct fipple rather...
