Had the first try at getting them interested. Blank faces from all and me backing off and thinking "try in a couple of weeks time" :-)

Hull Museums

Or there's three big shopping centres, a good theatre, and more cinemas than you could shake a sick at. See you in Beverley!

The suggestions from Les are good and if the kids are old enough they could catch the train in to Hull from Beverley Station which is only as far from the campsite as you could throw a didgeridoo. The station at Hull is right next to the new shopping centre if shopping is there thing.

Indeed jOhn. Can't stand sick :-)
I think there is plenty for them to do and if they don't want to go, then I guess its going to be on my ownsome. Well not really, as i am sure I will meet lots of people I know. Thats the great thing about folkies :-)

No Probs Mick. I will wait patiently. I realise its a lot of hard work. I always have praise for people who get off their arse and organise rather than only take.

What arrangements are there for the camping? Can people just turn up at the leasure centre?

Villan: give them all £25 each and say you'll see them in 6 hours. That will probably do the trick.

The Roaring Forties would have loved to appear,but commitments at Cleethorpes meant we weren't available long enough to get a booking.
But we wish you success with this venture and if it goes on to become an annual event (as I'm sure it will ) is there any chance of choosing another date?
Best of luck

Date: 11 May 08 - 04:33 AM

I am meeting with Capain Holgate on Monday to finalise last details. That will include updating web site and time schedule.

A couple of updates for now:

1. We have now added Hogesons as a concert and singaround spot for the weekend.

2. "Roaring Forties" will perform on Saturday and Sunday

3. It is seen as primarily a maritime event but in the true tradition of live music any musicians are cordially invited to perform at "The Grovehill Pub" all weekend -

4.I am still looking for additional M/Cs for Saturday and Sunday.Anyone interested please PM me.

5. we will be using the Syntan and communal area for"Meet the Artist", workshops and playing area.

Does this song merit being a shanty and if so, does anybody do it in the shanty world? I really love this song and remember it well when I lived in Amsterdam. Sailor (band) were a big hit over there.
You can hear it on this link
Girls Of Amsterdam

The lyrics are

Sailor
The Girls Of Amsterdam
The lyrics are

Beautiful dolls in the windows patiently biding their time
With their eyes looking out to a street full of men
Who are trying to make up their minds
And the lights, they keep shining from eve to silvery dawn
And who needs to sleep when you're falling in love
With the girls of Amsterdam, boy!
The girls of Amsterdam

Soon after dark, we were drinking down at the corner cafe
But fighting broke out with terrible shouts
And people running away
For the cops they came streaming, trying to bring us all in
But we spent the night in soft silky beds
With the girls of Amsterdam, boy!
The girls of Amsterdam

Some people frown at them, blushing with shame
Others may call them by silly old names
But nobody loves a sailor
Like the girls of Amsterdam, boy!
The girls of Amsterdam

And thus, the day came creeping, boy, how the good times fly
As we watched the girls in the morning sun
Sadly waving goodbye
But at least our dreams they last like a sound caught in the wind
And I for one shall remember
The girls of Amsterdam, boy!
The girls of Amsterdam
