Thats the idea Rog.!!!! any one who has been to Hull Shanty Fest will know that "shanty" is a broad definition.We do expect, however, for the most part for it to have a maritime theme as the name suggests.

If you look at the line up of paid guests will give you an idea of what to expect.Anything maritime themed is ok.We also will have Hull Community Theatre and dance teams.

Sat night in't Minerva and Sunday night in Ruscadors will be a mixed job.

The only payed event is the Concert at Fruit £5 admission.

Even there I have tried to give a balance of Shanty Crews, maritime contempory singer songwriters as Hissyfit, Anna Shannon etc.

My advice to you Chris is come along, chill out join in and enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!

We all know it's never dull in'ull!!!!
