Thread Name: Hull Shanty Festival 2008- Anyone Going?
Subject: RE: Hull Shanty Festival - Anyone Going?
Excellent Geoff! Ruscadors is the pub previously called the Heritage. Singing usually continues in the Minerva after the 5pm mentioned.

There's also the evening events:

Saturday 6 September 2008
An evening of maritime entertainment taking place in the Mortimer Suite within the prestigious Hull City Hall, 8pm - 11pm. Tickets are £7.50.

Sunday 7 September 2008
The festival will be brought to a close with an informal sing-a-round "Survivors' Session" in the friendly surroundings of The Portland Hotel, Kingston Suite, 8pm - 11pm. Tickets are £4.50.

For non-concert goers there's a chance to see Ossonflags with his band 'Punch the Horse' at Durty Nellies on Saturday from about 9pm or there's the almost-legendary Anti-Shanty in the Minerva from about 8pm, a general session where people are allowed to do non-maritime songs and tunes etc.
