[Just imagine prim, self-important people going "shush" in the Blaxhall Ship of old . .]quote.
order was kept, however in the Blaxhall Ship,By Wicketts Richardson.
the Blaxhall Ship was a public house, not a seperate room with an admission charge,so you are not comparing like with like , a different set up altogether.,would you compare The Blaxhall Ship ,to seeing Martin Carthy at an arts centre or a Folk club?
ok,I wasnt there, neither were the majority of the posters and we have not heard the performers version of the events,so really we cant make a proper judgement.
I dont know if the performer was being precious,I wasnt there.
