Hi,
Alas, I was not there (and sorry that my schedule prevented my attendance) - but I do know that "Don't Take the Heroes" was sung by the Souza's and the de la Barre's. Had I been there, I would have rounded out the performing group that is known as "Fivebitter". We all sing with "Three Sheets", the outreach project for the Schooner Adventure here in Gloucester, but prefer to be known as "Fivebitter" when we perform as a smaller ensemble.

Here's an excerpt from our group bio:

Songs of the sea, ballads and chanteys are the mainstay of "Fivebitter".

Peter Souza, Joanne Souza, David de la Barre, Rose Sheehan and Colin de la Barre have spliced together many nautical tunes that represent both new and old music with a wealth of knowledge and talent. Vocals and harmonies are a major part of performances mixed with a bit of knowledge and lots of good fun. All members of "Fivebitter" reside in Gloucester and Essex, MA.

Cheers to all,
Siochain
