I'v just returned from my 2nd GAIF, in Herkimer county New York. Those of you in Northeastern US, should put this one on your calendars, it's a great festival. Great bands, & Great Beer, I had several of the latter with 'catter Seamus Kennedy. How nice to meet you Seamus, I look forward to meeting again. Any Chanty singers out there, might want to look up Seamus' recording Sailing Ships and Sailing Men, a quality recording w/some very good material.

Hey Marc. It was great meeting you too, and having a jar with you and the Dublin City Ramblers and the Fenians after hours was a bonus.

I listened to your CD Live At John's in the car on the way home.
Very enjoyable indeed. I particularly liked your banjo playing on Skip's Jigs, and your chanteys as well.

All the best.

Seamus
