Thread Name: FATHOM THIS (the fine Barry Finn CD)
Subject: RE: FATHOM THIS (new Barry Finn CD)
Barry ; received the CD just before I headed for saltburn Festival. Played it as soon as I got back. ABSO-BLOODY-LUTELY WONDERFULL! Great singing[from you both]; and as others have commented.............many of the songs are New To me. Definately NOT : just another batch of Seafaring Songs and Shanties. But an important contribution to the genre. WELL DONE. On a more personal note ... Brings back many happy memories of meeting and sharing some songs at the YTB and at Portsmouth Festival. LONG MAY YOU SHAKE THE PLASTER FROM THE WALLS. But people should also have a chance of hearing you sing like you did on the Whaler in Mystic.The song you wrote yourself.That WAS magic. All the best Barry , I will Email you shortly ; Mike.
