Subject: RE: Hull Shanty Festival 23rd 24th July 2011 From: Sir Roger de Beverley Date: 24 Jul 11 - 05:12 AM I spent about six hours in the Minerva session on Saturday before returning to Leeds on a train full of Liverpool football supporters (and police). Very good turnout and good singing (at the pub, not the train) . I managed to sneak my Tom Waits song into the singaround after which a man that I had never met before came up and shook my hand saying how much he had enjoyed it. Wish I could have stayed longer R |

I heard from friends that the Ferens Art gallery songs and stories were amazing too. It was a pleasure to be involved and the Fruit venue is another to be used again. Great to keep Hull on the Shanty festival map. Thanks to Mick and Pete, Les and Maggie and ALL the others involved. Hazel |
