P.S.The singarounds in the Endeavour were great fun.Thanks to Ossonflags for allowing us to express our artistic leanings, and musical expertise, and Sheila and I hope everyone enjoyed the Most Pointless Song in the Universe.

The absence of a decent crab sandwich was the only disappointment for me.Even a second rate crab paste on some cheap sliced white bread and margarine would have been better than tuna and sweat corn.And you know who you are, oh guilty party.

Had a great time as usual, thanks to Mick in the Endevour at night and to all in the Black Horse in the afternoons.
Managed finally to sing North Wall, still a little practice required, thanks Mick for your support.

Thanks to Mick McGarry for a great MCing job at the Endeavour on Saturday night - very well run and nicely balanced making it a great evening out. Thanks also to Copper Kettle for opening up the session to all-comers, and for encouraging others to join in on their songs. These two sessions made for a very enjoyable day out.

Here's looking forward to the big one in August..

PS Enjoyed the Swedish girls too

I was only able to get to the Sunday programme (a concert and a singaround) as I've had the lurgy that's going around. Looked like a good festival though. Very pleasant. Hope to get to more of it next year.

Thanks for organizing it.

Did someone mention the Slubbing Billys morris dance team? I believe they hail from Huddersfield and they are brilliant. Not to be missed. Absolutely brilliant!

Hi Raggy - looked through the above and theres no mention of it -is there still an open sesh on the first of the month in the First In, last Out on Saturday? It usually kicks off at 8 till late. I know they have a fair selection of Musicians, tellers of songs and singers of joke. Been there a few times and your always made welcome. The beers usually good and the intelligence level is reasonable when there's an 'r' in the month - oh bugger! Are you coming on the 3rd of Mary?

There is a Whitby on The Wirrall. Don't go there though if you want to go to the festival. North Yorks Coast.
