The Second Sea Shanty Festival is on this weekend - 6th march, at the Australian National Maritime Musuem and the next Shanty singing night on the James Craig MIGHT be be the 4th Wednesday, but if it's not we can easily gather a group of shanty singers.

Dug - most of the 40s are well past 50, I think the youngest is 54 & the 3 oldest have passed 60.

They started 20+ years ago as The League of Fat Bearded Shantymen & have always had male & female members!!
