A Welcome from our Patron
As Patron of this wonderful Festival it is my
pleasure to welcome you all here to Castle Carrock
for this weekend of Music, Dance and Song. The
village really comes alive with people arriving from
far and wide in the UK and indeed, from many
other parts of the world. The music you will hear
this year will include artists from Canada, the
USA, Africa, [the Congo] England, Scotland and
Wales – that’s quite a line-up for this small village
tucked away in Cumbria. Castle Carrock becomes
a truly cosmopolitan culture but with a difference
– it retains its friendliness and the intimacy of
its village where friendships thrive. When I was
invited to be Patron of the Festival we were a little
unsure of where we would be in a few years time.
We now know. We are indeed confident that what
we offer is great music from around the world in
an atmosphere of mutual support and generosity
of spirit. So come on in and join us singing in the
chorus and even dancing the night away. It is with
great pleasure and anticipation that I welcome
you all. I’m confident you’ll have a great time, hear
some wonderful performers and if you are with a
family, your children will be safe and they will likely
insist you come back next year. As we all do! See
you in July.

Please ref
We think the best way to deal with recycling is
not to create rubbish in the first place. To this
end you will be asked to pay a £2 deposit for
your refillable and durable polycarbonate pint
or half glass. At the end of the day or at the end
of the festival hand it in and get your £2 back.
Alternatively, take it home with you as a memento
and bring it back next year. In this way we will
reduce the plastic waste created by MOM by
around 95% and it helps to keep the price of the
beer down. If you create rubbish please take it
home with you.
Music on the Marr is a not for profit organization.

Music in the Hat Concert
(Marquee Stage)
Our big warm up event. Put what you can afford
into the hat. If you can find £5.00 or more that
would be great; it all goes to the performers and
technical staff.
9.45 - The East Pointers
(Marquee Stage)
7.30 - Bros Gillespie
(Marquee Stage)
James and Sam have just released their debut
album ‘Songs from the Outlands’. They grew up in
a village in Northumberland on the edge of what
was once the Roman Empire - now part of a wide
area of borderland between the River Tyne and the
firth of Forth, rich in tradition and song. Blending
expressive guitar and fiddle work with rich vocal
harmony, they play old and new music drawn from
the roots and rising from the cultural streams that
flow into that land.
8.20 - Hadrian’s Union
(Marquee Stage)
accept any invitations from them to hand out
the scissors or take in a lodger. Stew Simpson
(Guitar and Vocals), Robin Jowett (Melodeon and
Keys),Brian Bell (Bass), Malcolm Bushby (Violin)
and Dave Pratt (Drums) present material from the
forthcoming album.
The East Pointers are three young men from
Prince Edward Island, Canada whose talent and
penchant for traditional Celtic tunes of decades
past greatly belie their respective ages. They are:
banjoist/vocalist/step-dancer Koady Chaisson,
fiddle player/vocalist Tim Chaisson, and guitarist/
vocalist Jake Charron. Their union produces a
blend of Celtic tunes, songs and step-dances
moulded into something uniquely Canadian
through a history which goes back generations.
Winners of Music PEI Awards: New Artist of the
Year 2015; Roots Traditional Recording of the Year
2015. Wow!
Hadrian’s Union are back with a brand new line
up. After disassembling the band in 2013 Stew
Simpson took a year out to write a new album.
During that year he befriended a number of
amazing musicians from successful bands who
predominantly live along Hadrian’s Wall and
odd parts of Yorkshire. Scoundrels, ell ticklers,
mish-mash men, rakes, loblolly boys dangerous
with anything sharper than a pencil, ex convicts
dizzy from accidents and heavily medicated can
all be found in this daft band. Keep one hand on
your purse and the other on your virtue. Don’t

Folk Quartet.
5.30 - 8.30 - Hog Roast
Free and available for as long as it lasts. One
helping each please.
Wandering Minstrel Marc Block
Will be at MOM all weekend. He has a huge
repertoire of songs including just about everything
Bob Dylan has written and he’s a Don McLean fan.
See if you can persuade him to sing your favorites.
6.30 - Geltsdale Singers
(St Peter’s Church)
We like to think we have made some progress
since our first public singing adventure at last
year’s MOM but we leave it to you to be the judge
of that! Attempting slightly more ambitious and
commensurately lovely harmonies from Africa,
Polynesia, Georgia and beyond, we hope to hit
most of the right notes most of the time. Our focus
is more on having fun than being a group that
performs but as St Peter’s is our home for singing
we can’t resist joining in with the music. If you
enjoy our songs come and join us for the workshop
on Sunday.
7.30 - Dan Walsh
(Marquee Stage)
Touted as one of the finest banjo players in the
UK as well as being a superb singer, songwriter
and guitarist, Dan Walsh is described as ‘the real
deal’ (UNCUT). His eclectic, innovative approach
and claw hammer style has led to many exciting
collaborations alongside his solo work including
tours with Northeast concertina legend Alistair
Anderson and recent work with sensational Indian
sarangi player Suhail Yusuf Khan as well as
8.30 - Nancy Kerr & James Fagan
(Marquee Stage)
Long standing, well loved Anglo-Australian duo and
multi BBC Radio Folk Award winners.
“The sheer abundance of distilled poetry on
display is inspiring. And when it unravels in such a
moving lyrical way, such as this, it will remain in the
audience’s minds for a long time.
James Fagan is more than happy to regale his
audience with stories of his homeland, and he’s
quite capable of placing us straight at the heart of a
drove across Queensland (‘Red Gum’) or amongst
the drama of Ned Kelly’s final days (Jerilderie’).
It takes a special passion and skill to achieve
this. Nancy’s new original material is sprinkled
throughout the set and she brings us back to
this country with ‘Queen Of Waters’ Then there’s
a new seafaring singalong, ‘Keep Hauling On’. ”
Spiralearth.
9.45 - Calan
(Marquee Stage)
Calan bring together the remarkable talents of 5
young musicians giving a fresh and vibrant sound
to traditional Welsh music. With a contemporary
and lively approach they breathe new life into the
old traditions through their sparkling melodies,
foot tapping tunes and spirited and energetic
performances of Welsh step dancing. They blast
their way through some of the old favourite reels,
jigs and hornpipes with fast paced and uplifting
arrangements before melting into some of the most
beautiful and haunting songs.

(School 75 mins)
and knitted beard wins a prize. Judged by
Few people seem to know that Cumbria has a rich
store of traditional music, as the literary legacy
of the Lake Poets has historically overshadowed
Cumbria’s musical heritage. Yet we have here a
unique repertoire of hunting songs and songs
in dialect as well as folk songs from broadside
ballads, along with scores of fiddle tunes and
dances bequeathed by Lakeland’s travelling
fiddlers and dancing masters.
Born and bred in Cumbria with John Peel as one of
her forebears, Sue Allan has worked in local media
and the arts for many years, and writes regularly
for Cumbria Life magazine. Sue began singing in
folk clubs at age 15, co-founded and performed
with Carlisle and Throstles Nest Morris teams and
the Ellen Valley Band, and has been researching
Cumbrian music for almost 40 years.

sing in the way people have been doing in pubs for
centuries. Members of our village ukulele band The
D’Ukes and our choir The Geltsdale Singers join in

of ale emerges some real talent. Join them here to
see what they, and you, can do.

Groundhogs”. He started Soul/R&B Band Uncle
Toms Express and he can’t be stopped playing.
3.30 - Keith Donnelly
Famous for making sheep laugh, Keith has been
our MC since the beginning. Not only a great
comic and never known to be smutty, he has
appeared at every festival in the country. He is also
a consummate song writer, fine guitarist and an
engaging performer.
3.00 - Max Baker
Max will be singing some of the songs from his
new album ‘Northern Hills’ due to be released

one of the founders of the still thriving Skipton

Lancashire. Soon after moving to Cumbria he
retired from playing to spend more time with his
new family but he is now performing again with a

Another helping from the innovative Orcadian
fiddle band. See last night’s listing.
The original Gentle Men recording was released
in 1997 by Robb Johnson in collaboration with
Roy Bailey, Belgian singer Vera Coomans and
Belgian jazz band Koen De Cauter and the Golden
Serenaders. The album takes the form of a song
cycle inspired by the experiences of Johnson’s
grandfathers during the First World War, and was
released as part of the Passchendaele Peace
Concerts series. Robb Johnson and MOM Patron
Roy Bailey present all the songs from this updated
and remarkable song cycle. Mojo made the double
CD ‘Gentle Men’ Folk Album Of The Month, while The
Daily Telegraph made it their Folk Album Of 1998. ‘A
Folk classic’ Robin Denselow, The Guardian.
Feckless, Fuddle are a mad cap Ukulele based
musical comedy whirlwind of a trio, featuring a
wide array of musical styling; from classical to folk
to rock with a classic comedic twist and even a
touch of flamingo! In the last year they have been
seen playing and delighting audiences all over
the country with their witty banter, vibrant stage
presence and eclectic selection of musical styles!
Having said that they can also play seriously and
endeavour to demonstrate the lyrical instrument that
the Ukulele can be.”Be prepared!” That’s all we can
say – this hilarious act will have you in stitches.

Ian is a singer and a writer of songs reflecting
personal, political and world situations. An
accomplished guitarist he plays to accompany
singing - essentially a storyteller with music!
Based in Northumberland he has two albums of
songs, ‘Dancing with Shadows’ – produced by Rick
Kemp (Steeleye Span) in 2001 and ‘Rough Around
the Edges’ in 2008.
4.00 - The Pitmen Poets with Jez
Lowe, Bob Fox, Benny Graham
& Billy Mitchell
The Pitmen Poets celebrate the songs, humour,
and culture of North East England’s Coal Mining
tradition, bringing together four of the region’s
leading champions of its musical heritage. ExLindisfarne singer and writer Billy Mitchell, song
man from London’s west end musical Warhorse,
Bob Fox, leading exponent of Tyneside song Benny
Graham, and much-covered Folk Awards nominee
songwriter Jez Lowe - individually and collectively
the Pitmen Poets. This is a journey through the
centuries of a once-great industry, from the songs
that saw it thrive and dominate, to those that saw
its demise and the resulting aftermath.
5.30 - Public excluded for sound checks
7.30 - Taimane Gardner
Taimane translates to diamond from Samoan and
perfectly reflects the different facets of her nature.
Whether delicately finger-picking her ukulele
through Bach or radically ripping through Led
Zeppelin, Taimane has the ability to morph genres
– from classical to rock to flamenco – and stretch
her instrument far beyond the familiar melodies
of Hawai`i, where she grew up. Taimane and her
music are wowing ever-larger audiences. She
lights up rooms wherever she goes, sparkling like
the diamond that she is.

Multi instrumentalist Jon Brindley returns. ‘The
Cream of Chorley’ and well loved MOM favourite
is back with his new band. “Pete Begley: guitar,
ukulele, mandolin. Pete is a Mancunian and we
met whilst waiting to do the beaujolais vendange
- he knew I was English as I played the theme
tune for Rainbow on my fiddle. James Budden is
a well seasoned double bass man. He’s brilliant
and comes up from Dorset. And he creates a great
vibe when we play together. When we all first got
together within spitting distance of the River Avon
I decided to call us ‘Jon Brindley and The Avon
Men’. The selling of cosmetics etc came later.”
10.00 - Ray Laidlaw & Billy Mitchell
and The Lindisfarne Story Band
present ‘Fog on the Tyne’
When Tyneside group Lindisfarne exploded onto
the UK music scene in 1970 they became the
standard bearers for acoustic based rock music.
Their sparkling song-writing cut through the
prevailing pop and glam sounds of the seventies,
the group achieved international success and
Lindisfarne’s music is still ever-present on UK radio
today. Ray Laidlaw, the original drummer, and Billy
Mitchell, front man for the last eight years, together
with their band conduct a tour de force through the
songs which have morphed into folk classics and
carried the indomitable spirit of Newcastle upon
Tyne across the world. Don’t miss this.

“ In the beginning when all was yet new and still wet, it is said that old Mr
Fox helped dance the world into being, for red foxes loved to dance and
the great mystery alone in the vast sky cloth above knew this to be true.
And as old Mr Fox danced his dance in the shallow places in the water,
it began to kick up great clumps of mud which became land. And his
dances had helped to plough this new land, and into this new land the
four winds did sow the first barley and the first wheat. And as old Mr Fox
danced he lit the sun with his tale and painted the moon and all the stars
up in the heavens preparing the world for the coming of the first people ;
calling them forth from the darkness and into the light”.

CAMRA Solway Branch Beer of The Year 2011.
Follows Whitwell and Mark’s old Kendal recipe.
Type Golden / Blonde. It’s the Maris Otter base
combined with crystal malt (traditionally used in
dark beers) that gives this award-winning brew its
distinctive red gold colour and sweet taste. The hops
follow on to build on the flavour and present you with a
beautiful balanced finish. Spun Gold won Beer of the
Festival organised by our local CAMRA branch. We’re
thrilled that it did so well on it’s first outing.

MarshalL Stout 5.0%.
A dark stout full of rich coffee and chocolate flavours.
Dark Mild 3.7%
Classic English pale ale brewed to Whitwell and

all the beers he has drunk and enjoyed over the years,
his favourites all seem to have an ABV of 4.5%. This
Magic Number is based on traditional English XBs.

additions of hops throughout the brewing process
Carlisle Best Bitter 3.8%
Type Bitter. Although Alain’s magic number is 4.5%
we managed to persuade him to produce something
a little less strong for those who prefer something
under 4% and this was the result - a dark tan, soft and
fruity traditional session bitter with a slightly smoky
aftertaste from the brown malt. It’s very easy to drink absolutely perfect for drivers, people out for a meal or
for those who like to have a few pints on an evening.

The Walks

#mom16
If you fancy going for a nice walk while you’re
staying in Castle Carrock, here are a few ideas.
Ask any villager and they should be able to help
you too. Please stick to footpaths, keep your dog
on a lead, avoid fields with livestock and close all
gates behind you.
before heading left for Tottergill and coming to the
reservoir (see above). Alternatively carry on to
Greenwell and see if you can find the mysterious
fairy doors (stick to the footpath).
45 minutes - Around the reservoir is a nice way
to see a bit of nearby countryside. Walk past the
Duke up towards Geltsdale until you see a finger
post off to the right near a grit bin and a street
lamp after about 200 yards. Then just keep the
reservoir on your right hand side all the way round.
It can get a bit muddy in places but it’s level and
very pleasant, partly on grass tracks, partly on a
quiet road. You’ll recognize where you come out
again at the bottom of Peth Lonning.
30 minutes - A walk up the Kilwren lonning signed
Garth Head, between Derek’s antique furniture
shop and the old village shop, takes you over
a small beck and then up to Garth Marr before
looping back down again to the village. It’s a
beautiful lonning bisecting fields and wildlife, and
a lovely amble which also produces a bit of height
too. Come back through a farm gate at the top to
the right and then just follow the road back to the
village.
2 hours - If you fancy stretching your legs a bit
more, then head up the road towards Geltsdale,
one of the hidden gems of this part of Cumbria.
You can park on a sharp bend at Jockey Shield or
take 20 minutes to walk there. Then head down
towards the Gelt before doing a loop up into the
hills. Either turn left and go up through woodland
before then circling clockwise past the Greens, or
turn right once you’ve gone over the bridge and do
the opposite. It’s all good paths, if a little steep in
places, and the views are beautiful.
See also Mark Richards’ guided ramble on Sunday
morning.
While you are in our village take a look at
Castlegate Barn Antiques, near the campsite,
owned by Derek Knight. If he’s not there a steward
will find him for you. Dave Norman‘s pottery is also
worth a look. Head towards Geltsdale; Its on the
right after Virginia Cottage.
30 minutes - Walk out of the village towards
Brampton and towards Greenwell before turning
left just before you get to the road bridge. Then
follow this track to the beck before heading left up
a lonning that loops back to the village. You can
then follow this to the other end of the village, and
extend the walk by joining the road for 200 yards
