Searching through a pile of folkmagazine thgat were languishing at the back of the bottom draw of my filing cabinet, I found a historical document.

Printed on two sheets of double-sided A4, and folded and stapled to make an A5 'booklet'.......

The programme for the first ever lancaster Maritime Festival!

Even in 1989 viositors were warned to beware of the press gang.

I can't remember if we stayed overnight and went home the next morening, or if it was a day trip, but we did two half-hour and one fifteen minute set on Good Friday,the first ever song of the festival at 11:30 am in the museum.

Does anyone know of the subsequent fortunes of Messrs Charlie Gillow, Jeremy Craven, Larry Harrison, John Parkinson, Pat Gallagher, Ted Thompson and Cameron & Duncan Leckie?
