Mike the other young man was Will Seaward. Both Paul and him sang some cracking traditional shanties with a passion and what made it so good was the fact that they were under 25.
John Blanks sang some lovely songs including a smashing traditional song called Annachie Gordon (Hope I spelt that correct) as well as a brand new song written for the Polish War Veterans who served at Faldingworth during the second world war (written by Mark Addison tune by John Blanks. I had the honour and privelage to visit the last Polish war veteran living in Lincoln thsi week to let him give his blessing for the song. It was so humbling meeting him.
Wild Wolds Women did a smashing set (lovely talented ladies)
What can one say about George Papvgeris - just plain excellent and what a songwriter.
I counted 16 mudcatters (out of the audinec of nigh on 60) at the event and we all had a very nice evening and enjoyed our company very much. Thats what its about.
