Only thing I knowabout Ybor City is they make fine seegars there, and they have a legacy of scarey ghost stories. Dun'no about chanty singers tho'. A

Dunedin tends towards bagpipes, actually, but there are several places in the Clearwater/ St.Petersburg/ Tampa/ Dunedin area etc. that do live folk music... there's also a place in Sarasota called The Sailing Squadron... you may want to check that out as well - I don't actually know how much music they do there, but I have been to a couple of "sea chantey" type performances there in the past, both of which included an open mic before the show.There are other folk music venues in Sarasota also. Good luck! |

You'll get to meet a lot of Florida musicians and could certainly make a few contacts from the Tampa area. Get in touch with the Friends of Florida Folk. They can fill you in on the particulars. troll |
