Just clicked on to the thread and it's the first I've heard of Cyrils' illness and I'm pleased to hear that the most recent news sounds encouraging. I wish him the best of recoveries.
Although I've never spoke to him our paths have crossed a few times when the crew that I sang with - Landlocked - were appearing at the same maritime festivals.
Two of our favourites that we sang, which were guaranteed to get the crowds singing were Grey Funnel Line & Chicken On A Raft, different songs with their own qualities that will, with many others, be sung for may a year to come.
Some of the first songs I ever learned were from Cyril's extensive repertoire.
All the very best to you Cyril and here's to seeing you again on the scene.
