Saturday 21st January 2012
5 – 10.30 pm


As you know Shanty Uk was set up to preserve, promote and research maritime music. Although the liverpool sessions have been a great success,to run this on a national scalle would be logisticly to big for regular meetings and would be unfair and expensive to ask people to travel to \liverpool for get togethers. To this end the committee decided to look at regional get togethers and see how we progress.

As with the Liverpool get togethers we will have a committee meeting on the day and then have a sing. We have been very fortunate to secure Goole maritime museum for our first meeting and sing. We want to run this as informally as possible but I will ask Steve Gardham to gently lead the session.

Rachel has agreed to donations to the Museum for use of facilities on the evening.. The session will take place on Room 58 barge. She has also offered berths on Sobriety overnight for a small donation to the Museum.There is also a limited spaces for campervans
