 Re: September Jakefest! Yippee! - 2004/09/26 13:21 Just to say the DevonFest was not quite the same without DH - but he was there in spirit. I know 'cos we bought some of it for Malcy, and I had to take it back till I got it right (it was a Glenmoray, you'll be pleased to know). And he deserved it!

I hope the plentiful and diverse reports sum up the feeling of how it went. The mystery guests were spectacular, notably Clive's Remembrance, Clara and Jane, and the Thompson family.

The pictures onstage turned out a bit dark, but I was flashing away, and if anyone is looking for a collection of their good selves immortalised, I probably have one or two suitably expressive moments captured. Just email me directly. The same goes for the Saturday workshop.

 Re: September Jakefest! Yippee! - 2004/09/30 23:17 Hi there you lot. I've just got broadband, and suddenly using this site looks a far more enticing proposition (I'm always in a hurry).

Thanks for coming to Torrington, everyone. A few people know, though most don't, that my Dad died a week before the event. Being with you lot really cheered me up, and got me through a difficult time. Special thanks to Clive, Sonia and Bertie, who came to Devon early and gave me a lot of moral and practical support.

I thought that Malcy, Ian and Phil did us proud on Saturday evening. Thanks for that, chaps. Also thanks to all the performers (including the Topica Ladies) - I've since spoken to several local people who came along on the night not knowing what to expect, and who were hugely impressed by the standard of the performances and commitment and respect the performers brought to Jake's songs.

Sheila, Tom, the Haverlys, Dr. Colin and Ralph McTell were all delighted with the weekend, and Sheila in particular said that it had proved to her that Jake's songs could be sung successfully by others. In short, everyone was happy! Ah - except for the two ladies who walked out early on Saturday night complaining of 'smut'. They were not, as first thought, 'old ladies'; apparently they are in their forties. It appears that it was 'The Hole' that finished them off. This sets a standard for walkouts that Edinburgh will struggle to top. Maybe 'The Bull' could be scheduled earlier in the evening next time?

 Re: September Jakefest! Yippee! - 2004/10/01 07:53 Fantastic ! So it was "The Hole" that finished them off ! However did they survive the tangled diamondfest of "The Kiss", only to be offended by the doctor's special sort of shove ? It takes all sorts... Eranu !
