Think I listened to about an hour of music last year.
And top trolled the lot of it.

The weather made food and outdoors the place to be. Could be very different if it rains!

Your great chance Steve, a workshop with Blowzabella in Holmfirth, November:

ā€œHOW TO PLAY THE BAGPIPES IN 60 MINUTES OR YOUR MONEY BACK. PAUL JAMES. For anyone who wants to have a go. Weā€™ll focus on the absolute basics, including how to blow up the bag without fainting. Thanks to The Bagpipes Society for loaning their student pipes.ā€

Iā€™ll be paying the balance for the bunkbarn next week, so Iā€™d be grateful if attendees could send me their contributions. Iā€™ve sent a PM with details to those on the list in post #1.
Thereā€™s still plenty of space if anyone else would like to come along for this weekend of fun :partying_face: :sun_with_face: :clinking_beer_mugs:. food :cheese_wedge: :pizza: :moon_cake: :poultry_leg: and dubious music :saxophone: :guitar: :drum: :accordion:

Iā€™m very late to the party, I know, but a glance at my calendar suggests I could actually make it to Settle this year. Iā€™m so far North that Google maps indicates a 5 1/2 hour drive (fucksakes) but itā€™s definitely doable.

Could there be space for one more? I promise I wonā€™t bring any kale, and some people have been kind enough to say that I can be moderately entertaining (with a few beers in me).

Welcome aboard! Weā€™ve had visitors from further afield so donā€™t worry.
Didnā€™t realise that you were north of Inverness :slightly_smiling_face: though

Iā€™ll PM details

Sorry Dave but we have a long booked holiday in Wales so missing out again.

39

Cheers!

Must confess that Northumberland to Yorkshire has never taken me that long before. Maybe Google maps is wrong (surely not).

Iā€™ll confirm my availability with Mrs horace (prediction: Fuck off and have a good time, you miserable bastard. And no, I donā€™t want to go with you).

Looking forward to that slightly odd experience of walking into a room full of people you kinda know, but have never actually met in person.
