With ref. to the last 3 posts...though Lancaster Chanty Festival is no more it seems that "son of Lancaster" has been born. Sept.12th & 13th at Morecambe 'I do like to be beside the sea' which has pierios, street theatre, fire eaters, punch & judy AND numerous chanty singers/crews! Info from Val Simpkin /Dave Wright at Lancaster City Council. Now back to the thread. Beware the Fylde Coast's Sands, well worth £3.00 of everybodies money, and it's all for the lifeboat. Ron
