Subject: Holdstock & Macleod sea music concert
Dick Holdstock and Allan Macleod will be performing a sea music concert on Saturday, November 19, 8pm, aboard the three masted 1886 ship Balclutha, berthed at Hyde Street Pier, on San Francisco's Fishermans Wharf. Tickets are $14, and are available at the Maritime Store, 415-775-2665. lots of room in the ship's shelterdeck, so there will be tickets available at the door (Maritime Store, at the pier's entrance, will serve as the door).

For over 30 years, Dick and Allan have been performing traditional songs from their native homelands of England and Scotland and songs from their adopted North America. Trading off on guitar and mandolin, and singing unnacompanied, their singing evokes a not-so-distant maritime past.

This performance closes out the 23rd annual Sea Music Concert Series, hosted by the National Park Service at San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park...and a fitting end to the season in grand style! Be there or be square-rigged.
