13 Aug 01 - 04:33 PM (#526984) Subject: Congratulations Treaties From: nutty This is likely to create a great gnashing of teeth among the purists but my friend Theresa won the Shanty Singing competition at Redcar Festival at the weekend. It is the first time a woman has won and I believe it was richly deserved, so I would like to say --- WELL DONE THERESA |

I think Stan Hugill would probably have agreed. I remember there was at least one woman with us in the crew at the recording session for Shanties of the Seven Seas - "call her a cabin boy" I think he said they should do, if anyone remarked on the voice when the record came out. |

He also clipped Ray Padget round the ear for letting WOMEN enter. (However he also congratulated her as all good mudcats do) |

14 Aug 01 - 09:44 PM (#528246) Subject: RE: BS: Congratulations Treaties From: GUEST,treaties1 If Ive come up as guest again I have just reset my cookie honest. Thanks everyone for the congratulations. I must admit I was 'gobsmacked' at the news and still feel 10feet tall. The two songs I sang for the competition were from the singing of the brilliant shanty group The Johnson Girls, Wont You Help Me To Raise'em Boys and Julianna Julianna also known as London Julie. Both great choices, the fellows didn't know them and had to learn and sing them at a 'working rythmn' of my choosing, plus also, I love singing blues and they have that kind of feel and I really enjoyed singing them out in public for the first time. |
