Greetings from across the Pond! Been following this thread with some interest (and I have to admit, just a little envy)! Mystic sounds wonderful - delighted it all went so well.

It's our turn this weekend as we have the Liverpool Shanty Festival at the Albert Dock. We have some of the tall ships in, Mir, Grand Turk and Matthew of Bristol to name a few, the Anastasia Hospital ship, a registered charity that has just completed a voyage around the coast of Africa and all sorts of other odd assortments including canal narrow boats that have to make a rather hazardous journey out of the canal system and down part of the Mersey to dock in the Albert. (Not a lot of fun if the river is running fast)!! We also have concerts in such appropriately named pubs as "The Baltic Fleet" and a theatre called "The Neptune".

Dan Milner & Bob Conroy will be here (as will Bonnie), and we have guests from Poland, Holland, France and Germany.

So, wish us luck and fair weather. (Come to think of it - we'll enjoy it whatever the climate)!

MMario - Ducks with accents! I'd be interested to hear a Liverpool one!!

Cheers

Chris
