Hi Nancy - I did, I'll be singing with the Glouchester folks from the schooner Adventure, "Three Sheets to the Wind" with whom I do have a history with. Some years back I used to sing for their onboard fund raising sails & have recently began singing with some of the good people that have been involved in her ongoing restoration. It'll be good to see you (& your singing sons) too as well as all the other new & old folks & friends again.

Hi Dave, I'm hoping you'll be changing your mind & attend this years festival. This years showing at the door is, from what I understand, a major deceiding factor as to the festivals' future. If I'm wrong would any of folks here in the know please correct me. So if there were ever a year to come & show your support for the music, the festival & the direction on he museum & let them know that the music of the sea is a very important part of the culture & folklore of the sea this would be the year. And any way we'd miss you, your voice & your knowledge and I do know how you feel & it is good to hear from you after so long. Do come.

Anyone else who's not sure of coming, it's the best festival of it's kind in the country & it needs our support & our numbers to continue. While your there you maybe able to let the museum know how important the music of the sea is to you, after all not everybody's a mind reader.

I'm glad I can make it once again & hope to see as many of you as possible singing your lungs out.

Barry
