Subject: Supernatural songs in Boscastle From: Saro Date: 09 Oct 06 - 10:07 AM On Sat. 28th October (as near as we can make it to Halloween) Craig Morgan Robson will be performing their show "Tales of Otherness" at Boscastle Village Hall, starting at 7.30pm. Tickets available on the door - £7.50 per person, £5 children and pensioners, or you can contact the Museum of Witchraft to book (I think!). The show was first commissioned by and performed at Cornwall Folk Festival, and is all about "Things that aren't what they seem to be" so you can expect songs and stories about shape-shifting, diguise, magic and deception of all kinds, plus of course lots of harmonies. Some of it is serious, some lighthearted - come and hear it for yourself... Best wishes Saro |

Subject: RE: Supernatural songs in Boscastle From: Dave (the ancient mariner) Date: 09 Oct 06 - 05:46 PM No doubt they will sing this one? A Lyke-Wake Dirge THIS ae nighte, this ae nighte, —Every nighte and alle, Fire and fleet and candle-lighte, And Christe receive thy saule. When thou from hence away art past, —Every nighte and alle, To Whinny-muir thou com'st at last; And Christe receive thy saule. If ever thou gavest hosen and shoon, —Every nighte and alle, Sit thee down and put them on; And Christe receive thy saule. If hosen and shoon thou ne'er gav'st nane —Every nighte and alle, The whinnes sall prick thee to the bare bane; And Christe receive thy saule. From Whinny-muir when thou may'st pass, —Every nighte and alle, To Brig o' Dread thou com'st at last; And Christe receive thy saule. From Brig o' Dread when thou may'st pass, —Every nighte and alle, To Purgatory fire thou com'st at last; And Christe receive thy saule. If ever thou gavest meat or drink, —Every nighte and alle, The fire sall never make thee shrink; And Christe receive thy saule. If meat or drink thou ne'er gav'st nane, —Every nighte and alle, The fire will burn thee to the bare bane; And Christe receive thy saule. This ae nighte, this ae nighte, —Every nighte and alle, Fire and fleet and candle-lighte, And Christe receive thy saule |

Subject: RE: Supernatural songs in Boscastle From: Leadfingers Date: 09 Oct 06 - 05:50 PM CMR are well worth seeing (and hearing) BUT I would suggest getting there early enough to have a look at the Museum of witchcrft as well ! |
|
Subject: RE: Supernatural songs in Boscastle From: GUEST,Cats Date: 10 Oct 06 - 04:01 AM Quite agree with Leadfingers. The rebuilt and revamped Museum is a must. There are also some very good pubs in the village, including the Wellie and the Cobweb where you can get something to eat and a decent pint or two. Why not make a day of it.. or even stay overnight in one of the local B&B's and experience the sea and the coastal path first thing in the morning. |

Subject: RE: Supernatural songs in Boscastle From: Valmai Goodyear Date: 10 Oct 06 - 05:11 AM The Napoleon, at the top of the hill, was always very good and used to have a singing session on a Friday night. I heard the splendid Charlie Jose there many times. There may still be a music session in the Wellington on a Monday night. Craig Morgan Robson are terrific. They are doing a marvellous weekend for the Lewes Arms Folk Club on 10/11th. November next year: an all-day vocal harmony workshop on the Saturday, an evening performance at the club on the Saturday evening, and an all-day ballad forum on the Sunday. Email me off-list if you'd like details and a booking form nearer the time. Tootle pip, Valmai Lewes Arms Folk Club |

Subject: RE: Supernatural songs in Boscastle From: Rasener Date: 10 Oct 06 - 10:58 AM Is that pub at the top of Boscastle still selling Bishops Tipple? Got plastered on that stuff when I was there. |

Subject: RE: Supernatural songs in Boscastle From: Hawker Date: 11 Oct 06 - 02:38 PM If you can get to this event you will not regret it, I saw it at Wadebridge and it was fantastic, the 3 girlies all have fantastic voices and great personalities to go with it. I will have to try and get along myself! Cheers, Lucy. |

Subject: RE: Supernatural songs in Boscastle From: My guru always said Date: 11 Oct 06 - 03:56 PM This sounds Wonderful, but I don't think I'll be able to get along though I'll be singing a few songs at Bampton 'After the Fair' that weekend which is somewhere near there. Have a Brill & Spooky time! |

Subject: RE: Supernatural songs in Boscastle From: GUEST,Cats Date: 12 Oct 06 - 09:21 AM Reserved my tickets yesterday..yippee. I saw it in Wadebridge too [sat next to Hawker]and am in for a return viewing. Graham at the Museum said there will be some tickets available on the night as well... he hopes. Give him a ring and make sure you reserve yours. |

Subject: RE: Supernatural songs in Boscastle From: Valmai Goodyear Date: 13 Oct 06 - 07:04 AM Just for fun, here's the only recipe I have found for soul cakes. When we have a Halloween evening at the Lewes Arms I make them for everyone to share. They are unusual for a yeast recipe in not including salt; could this be because ghosts are repelled by salt, but these cakes are intended for them to eat? Or did the original cook realise that most of them would already have heart conditions and ought to avoid the stuff? Tootle pip, Valmai (Lewes Arms Folk Club) YEAST SOULE CAKES 'Three pounds flour, quarter pound butter (or half pound if the cakes are to be extra rich) half pound sugar, two spoonsful of yeast, two eggs, allspice to taste, and sufficient new milk to make it into a light paste. Put the mixture (without the sugar or spice) to rise before the fire for half an hour, then add the sugar, and allspice enough to flavour it well; make into rather flat buns, and bake.' This is the recipe of Mrs. Mary Ward, who is known to be the last person who kept up the old custom of giving 'Soul Cakes' at Pulverbatch. She died in 1853 at the age of 101. Shropshire Cookery Book, compiled by the Shropshire Federation of Women's Institutes, c. 1955 Quoted by Elizabeth David, English Bread & Yeast Cookery, 1977 |

Subject: RE: Supernatural songs in Boscastle From: Valmai Goodyear Date: 15 Oct 06 - 12:14 PM Yes, the tradition is no longer currant. Valmai |

Subject: RE: Supernatural songs in Boscastle From: Cats Date: 22 Oct 06 - 11:46 AM As its only a few days away, it's worth refreshing this, not to be missed, night. |
|
Subject: RE: Supernatural songs in Boscastle From: Mo the caller Date: 30 Oct 06 - 09:35 AM Do they mean 1853 for Mrs. Wards death, or 1953?? |
|
Subject: RE: Supernatural songs in Boscastle From: Valmai Goodyear Date: 30 Oct 06 - 10:14 AM From the style in which the recipe is written, I think the earlier date is right. Possibly they checked it by ouija board... Tootle pip, Valmai |

Subject: RE: Supernatural songs in Boscastle From: Rasener Date: 30 Oct 06 - 10:42 AM What about the Bishops Tipple ? |
|
Subject: RE: Supernatural songs in Boscastle From: Cats Date: 30 Oct 06 - 02:18 PM It wasn't on when we popped in on Saturday night. It might have been a guest beer. Never fear, we will keep popping in and let you know when it's back on. The things we have to do for folk music... visiting pubs... whatever next!! |
