Subject: RE: Baggyrinkle - To Hull & Back
Well that's it! "Hull Sea Fever" over for another year.

Wasn't it a lovely morning on Sunday? Although Scottie did his Romeo & Juliet act from the upstairs room at the Minerva, he refused to open until noon.

But The Baggies and Johnny Collins serenaded the passing crowds under the spreading chestnut tree. (Maybe it wasn't a chestnut??)

It was thoroughly enjoyable until the clock twelve! Then the stampede for the bar!! We carried on where we left off, inside.

Anyway another great festival, good weather, good singing especially from the mudcatters.

Willa, enjoyed your renditions at The Minerva and in the Victorian Bar, City Hall.

Our expedition with "Lord Nelson" took us to performing outside Ann Summers in the shopping precinct. But we weren't allowed to go inside!!

We - The Baggies and Kat yn 't Seil enjoyed that little session. It was hard to ascertain whether the onlookers did? We like to think so?

Here's to the next "Sea Fever Festival" may it become an epidemic!!

Dave & The Baggies.
