Black Diamond - we were ships in the night (or more exactly day) at Beverley ,but never mind Eh ? As I said to Mick (Ossonflags) it WAS a shanty festival - and they were having a grand time. I was just sort hoping that there might have been chance of a tune or two.

Hi Betsy
yes it would seem so ... nevermind ... we cant sing but we we had a good time listening to others who can, and we even had a request granted by Dave and Julie Evardson, and i did get to play cos while we were in in one pub the guest artists very kindly asked round the room and enouraged me to play a tune, so I played a Lincolnshire tune from the Joshua Gibbons manuscript Congress at Laceby, and it turned out that one of them was from Laceby! small world!
anyway it was a lovely first festival and now Im looking forward to all those lovely sessions at Whitby
