Jack Coutts and Bernie Davis have worked hard to put together a shanty festival as part of the Liverpool 08 Capital of Culture year. There's an article about it on the Liverpool Daily Post website at http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/liverpool-life-features/capital-of-culture/2008/06/24/sea-shanties-songs-to-help-you-work-rest-and-play-64375-21142714/article (too long for a clicky), and a short interview with Bernie too. Sadly I can't take part as I'll be afloat on the south coast at the time, but anyone within reach is encouraged to go. Liverpool city centre (look out for the building site), 18 - 21 July, which coincides with the start of the first leg of the Tall Ships Race from Liverpool as well. The Round the World Clipper Race is also finishing here next weekend: Sat 5th July. Enjoy :-) Steve
