The singaround, as it was, was brief and in a "dry" venue. I remember the first sea fest following "Stormalong John" around the pubs, the juke box was grudgingly turned off before they performed and switched straight back on the moment they had finished. Wandering around this year, every single pub on the sea front, where the main performing Marquee was, had juke boxes blowing ones ears out, with the exception of the golden ball that happened to have in a "glee club" from Stockton on Tees who were singing barbers shop - excellent. Maybe one pub could be found to use as a venue for performing and singaround. Having said all that the performances were excellent and the weekend was great
