Subject: Hull Shanty Festival - Anyone Going? From: Blowzabella Date: 09 Aug 08 - 06:35 AM I last went a few years ago but thinking about going along again this year, as i wasn't able to get to see pals at Liverpool this year. Just wondering if any other shanty fanatics are going along? I know from the website that there is a fair old line-up - my own faves from the guestlist being Stormies / Three Sheets to the Wind (Derek Gifford + Keith Kendrick + Geoff Higginbottom)/ Monkeys Fist and Bitter End. Will there be anything happening on the Friday night, does anyone know? Just wondering whether it would be worth booking accom for Friday & Saturday or just Friday? |

Subject: RE: Hull Shanty Festival - Anyone Going? From: Mrs.Duck Date: 09 Aug 08 - 12:04 PM There is usually a good session in the White Hart on both Friday night. I expect stuff will be happening at the Minerva too as I believe it is staying open until after the festival. |

I just hope we have a bit more time to show people around this year, it was wall-to-wall performances last year (not that I'm complaining about the music, mind). John |

Subject: RE: Hull Shanty Festival - Anyone Going? From: Les from Hull Date: 11 Aug 08 - 05:55 PM It means she's feeling a bit better. She were 'proper poorly' for a while but judging by the grin and wave I got from her about a week ago, she must be on her way to good health. |

Subject: RE: Hull Shanty Festival - Anyone Going? From: Linda Kelly Date: 11 Aug 08 - 07:06 PM Not only on the mend but actually got to saltburn! Looking forward to sea fever since i am somewhat of an expert in fevers of late! |

Subject: RE: Hull Shanty Festival - Anyone Going? From: Sailor Ron Date: 13 Aug 08 - 11:21 AM Sorry I won't be there, and as this year Hull doesn'y actually clash with Fylde, I'm gutted that I can't make it. But I know [from past visits] that it'll be a gradley do. |

Subject: RE: Hull Shanty Festival - Anyone Going? From: GeoffLawes Date: 30 Aug 08 - 04:46 PM For anyone who has not been to the Hull Maritime Festival before, it is worth stressing that this is a more or less FREE festival. The Hull City Council, who are responsible for funding and publicity, do not make this very clear either in their printed or their web site publicity despite the fact that this must be one of the festival's outstandingly attractive features. I presume that the format is roughly the same as in recent past years which is as follows, There is a large stage, with seating facing, on the town centre dockside where the booked guests perform throughout the day for free. There are performance sessions on board some of the vessles such as the Syntan with a rota of the booked guests. This is free. During the day in various pubs around the dockside and down towards the river there are singarounds where every hour booked guests also appear to perform for about 15 minute on a rota system. This is free. On the Saturday there is a concert that you have to pay to get in to and on the Sunday there is a Survivors' Session where you have to pay. However, there have in the past been free 'fringe' singarounds in The Minerva ( I don't know about the other pubs). Also on the Friday night there has been a fringe singaround in The White Hart. All of this adds up to a potentially cracking free festival if you want to make it so. Perhaps Les , Ossenflags or anyone else with more precise times and venues for this year can fill in the details so those wanting to come can know exactly where and when to congregate. I note that several people have asked about the Friday but there has been nothing definite stated about a venue or time. Now read the Hull City web site publicity reproduced below and you will see what a grand time could be had by all for free (or in exchange for a few jars of ale) Hull Marina is the daytime setting for open-air performances of sea songs and shanties against a magnificent backdrop of traditional, classic and working vessels. The quaysides will be alive with demonstrations of traditional crafts including woodcarving, ship bottling, net mending, lobster and crab pot braiding and a coopering demonstration. There will be stalls where visitors can buy maritime paintings, books, smocks, novelties and food and drink. Children will be able to make maritime items at the salt dough workshop or try making a mask. A variety of vessels will also be on display. Artists already confirmed for this year include - Bitter End Cathead Chris Roche Dave and Julie Evardson Hans Weehuizen (Netherlands) Hissyfit La Bouline (France) Lord Nelson John and Zeke Jim Radford Risor Shantykoor (Norway) Monkey's Orphan Naze Shanty Crew Scolds Bridle Shanty Jack Shellback Chorus Shep Woolley Stormalong John Three Sheets To The Wind A-Drift John Conolly Hull Community Theatre - with more acts to follow. Evening concerts Saturday 6 September 2008 An evening of maritime entertainment taking place in the Mortimer Suite within the prestigious Hull City Hall, 8pm - 11pm. Tickets are £7.50. Sunday 7 September 2008 The festival will be brought to a close with an informal sing-a-round "Survivors' Session" in the friendly surroundings of The Portland Hotel, Kingston Suite, 8pm - 11pm. Tickets are £4.50. |

Subject: RE: Hull Shanty Festival - Anyone Going? From: brid widder Date: 31 Aug 08 - 06:01 PM About Friday night:- I have it on good authority that the White Hart is closed and has been for several months... I don't know if anyone has arranged anything else but you would all be welcome to come to theHop and Vine |
|
Subject: RE: Hull Shanty Festival - Anyone Going? From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 31 Aug 08 - 10:09 PM I'm not sure. This is Hull we're talking about. Would I sing shanties or have to stay in one? :) |
|
Subject: RE: Hull Shanty Festival - Anyone Going? From: Graham and Jo Date: 01 Sep 08 - 07:14 AM There is also the regular Friday session in the Tiger in Beverley (mostly tunes), which is not all that far from Hull. There is a Youth Hostel in Beverley to stay in and B&Bs, or a taxi used to be about £10. Might be more now. |
|
Subject: RE: Hull Shanty Festival - Anyone Going? From: ossonflags Date: 01 Sep 08 - 07:39 AM Or for an alternative Saturday night; come and see and say hello t Punch The horse @ Durty Nellies high street - admission free |
|
Subject: RE: Hull Shanty Festival - Anyone Going? From: danensis Date: 01 Sep 08 - 07:59 AM The Syntan crew usually have a minibus running between Hull and Beverley. joining the Barge Preservation Society might be cheaper than getting a taxi! John |

Subject: RE: Hull Shanty Festival - Anyone Going? From: Mrs.Duck Date: 01 Sep 08 - 09:19 AM We are there Saturday and Sunday but not stopping over. |
|
Subject: RE: Hull Shanty Festival - Anyone Going? From: Les from Hull Date: 01 Sep 08 - 06:36 PM As Brid Widder says, you'll be welcome in the Hop and Vine, but it is rather small. Maggie and I can't do Friday night, but I've had a word with Dean who has the George (Land of Green Ginger) and shanty people will be welcome there. Or there should be room in the Minerva. Have fun, whatever you do! |

Subject: RE: Hull Shanty Festival - Anyone Going? From: Les from Hull Date: 04 Sep 08 - 08:32 AM Excellent Geoff! Ruscadors is the pub previously called the Heritage. Singing usually continues in the Minerva after the 5pm mentioned. There's also the evening events: Saturday 6 September 2008 An evening of maritime entertainment taking place in the Mortimer Suite within the prestigious Hull City Hall, 8pm - 11pm. Tickets are £7.50. Sunday 7 September 2008 The festival will be brought to a close with an informal sing-a-round "Survivors' Session" in the friendly surroundings of The Portland Hotel, Kingston Suite, 8pm - 11pm. Tickets are £4.50. For non-concert goers there's a chance to see Ossonflags with his band 'Punch the Horse' at Durty Nellies on Saturday from about 9pm or there's the almost-legendary Anti-Shanty in the Minerva from about 8pm, a general session where people are allowed to do non-maritime songs and tunes etc. |

Subject: RE: Hull Shanty Festival - Anyone Going? From: Les from Hull Date: 04 Sep 08 - 09:28 AM To get to Durty Nellie's from the rest of the festival site, follow Blackfriargate down the side of Ruscadors round and under the Castle Street Bridge into High Street. Don't play with the traffic! |
|
Subject: RE: Hull Shanty Festival - Anyone Going? From: brid widder Date: 04 Sep 08 - 10:14 AM I don't know if we can make it at all... maybe sunday afternoon for a bit... we have it on good authority that the Minerva has recieved it's last delivery of beer... the landlord has never done a shanty weekend before so doesn't know what's in store...I think the staff warned him that he should order lots... I don't know if he believed them... lets hope the beer doesn't run dry!! |

From: danensis Date: 08 Sep 08 - 07:08 AM Although I only managed to get to the second day of the Festival (after a very wet trip down on Syntan on the Friday) I would like to say how much I enjoyed it, especially the singaround in the Minerva.

Subject: RE: Hull Shanty Festival - Anyone Going? From: Jane of 'ull Date: 08 Sep 08 - 08:37 AM I really enjoyed the festival this year. Its the first time I've been and spent enough time there to experience it. It inspired me no end - The acts were pure quality. well done to the organisers and anyone else involved. |
|
Subject: RE: Hull Shanty Festival - Anyone Going? From: Linda Kelly Date: 08 Sep 08 - 03:16 PM I had a great time didnt think it posible for a human to absorb that much rain water, but dried off by Sunday evening-enjoyed the singing especially on Syntan and in the Minerva. |
|
Subject: RE: Hull Shanty Festival - Anyone Going? From: Jane of 'ull Date: 08 Sep 08 - 05:49 PM I didn't catch all of the open air performance but I especially liked: Scold's Bridle - their song 'Molly' brought tears to me eyes - Monkey's Orphan, who did 'Fire Down Below'? (it appeals to my scat sense of humour)! and 3 Sheets to the Wind - they sang one that went something like 'a sailor's not a sailor any more?' does anyone know the origins of this song? Jane :) |
|
Subject: RE: Hull Shanty Festival - Anyone Going? From: Les from Hull Date: 08 Sep 08 - 05:56 PM That would be this song by Tom Lewis. Maggie and I had a great time (as usual), and particular thanks to the 'Anti Shantiers' in the Minerva on Saturday night. |
