Thanks for that link Snuffy. That's a great site and I never heard Vic Harrup before.

I understand that there is singing in the Blaxhall Ship once more though I've not had chance to check it out yet.

The last time I was in there was more than a decade ago when the skipper of our chartered Thames sailing barge got it up to the quay at Snape Maltings. We crew walked to Blaxhall carrying our instruments and met up with John and Katie Howson and others and took part in a session to die for.

The next evening we played on the quayside and a bunch of people who had come out of the classical music concert in the Maltings neglected to rejoin their concert after the interval and stayed out on the quay to listen to the music. I don't know what the concert was (probably very good) but it felt like 1-0 to us.

It's a world away from Bellowhead - I really like what they're doing but it's in a different world.
