Sorry Mick ( Ossonflags ), I hope you noted that I did say "although to be fair it was a Shanty festival " so I couldn't really have expected musos to be lurking, but I always live in hope.
Apparently they were "at it " in the Sun or the Tiger, but true to form I was in the wrong place at the right time. Not to worry .The thread indicates roughly what most of us expect from a musos session albeit to slightly differing degrees , however, if they start as Alan (above) wrote, i.e. out handing "the dots", that will be me goosed - can't read a note - I'll be back with the shanty singers !!!!.
