I thought as predicted that a group of women similar to those at the gates of Greenham Common some years ago had gathered outside Blitherscrum airport as a protest at the USAF plane landing there. I was wrong, they are actually the British contingent of the fan club for The Guantanamo Bay Shanty Singers...amazing!! I would imagine they will be attending the Festival in support.
Some of the recent songs by the Shanty singers are:- 'My love is far away'.....'Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains'....'Fields of Athenry' (By a lonely prison wall)......'Hold Me'......
