Hi Pelrad, there is a Wed. night singing session in Boston at Paddy Burke's (3rd floor) on Portland St near the new Fleet Center (or the old Gardens). It's not a shanty session though that's a good portion of what I do & they're more than welcomeThere'll be a sea festival at the Charlestown Navy Yard (were Old Ironside rests) but I don't yet know the dates, I know there'll be some singing. New Bedford also does a little sea stuff but you just missed that festival. Barry
