Hi - Before planning an impromptu shanty sing in Liverpool, please ask Jack if it would be likely to help - cos you never know, it might even hinder his plans. I know he has been giving this a lot of thought and, if he has decided the blog is the best way to proceed, please trust him on this - it is a long process. He is also well acquainted with Hughie and will, no doubt hve spoken to him about the situation.
