Folks, thanks for the information. Very weird to have to go all the way to Kuwait to collect Liverpool shanties! I even met a fellow who sang with Tim Hart's brother who apparently lived in Kuwait for a while ...
BAZ, I'm off to Chicago for a year, so won't be in the UK till next year, but I'll try and direct folks to your neck of the moor ...
Meanwhile I am trying to get the Irish Society to sing "Somewhere Along the Road" since it goes great with an Irish voice!
Cheers
Brian
