Thread Name: Ellesmere Port Shanty Fest?
Subject: RE: Ellesmere Port Shanty Fest?
What a brilliant weekend. The chill wind that blew over the site couldn't mar the warmth of companionship and fun that pervaded this weekend . There were smiles everywhere and complete admiration for the artists who battled with frozen fingers when trying to play their instruments. The museum itself was bustling with activity and there were occassions when the sun shone and you could pleasantly sit and watch the canal barges moving through the locks.
This was my second visit and I would recommend that anyone to who hasn't already been should make the visit in 2014.
Well done to all involved.
Pictures and video will eventually be posted on the Shanty UK website.
