I would like to come to the Easter Maritime Festival in Liverpool but I am short of money. Could someone offer me accommodation for one of the weekends?

In return, I would be more than happy to return the favour for the Hull Shanty Festival (July 23rd and 24th), (see thread for more details).

I have been going to the Hull Festival for the past fifteen to twenty years but have only recently started singing shanties myself. It's really good to be involved and I have started to think about what I am singing!

I have only recently found the forum and just joined.

Do you mean the new festival in Ellesmere Port? People that side of the river don't like being called 'Liverpool' :)

I do mean the new festival in Ellesmere Port. Sorry, no offence intended. I have also got a bit mixed up with my weekends - didn't realise it was next weekend.

Accomodation was an issue for us. We tried to find some cheaper b&b but without success so sadly the group couldn't make it although I plan to go for the day - long drive from this side of the Pennines but doable. Hope you find a taker for your swap option.

I hope you have a really good day - it sounds as though it is going to be a lot of fun. I certainly will be at the the Hull Shanty Festival in July. I'll be able to learn some more shanties by then.

We are camping for the weekend about 5 miles from Ellesmere Port. PM me if you want further details

Will get details of that from you Carole as Shanty Annas hope to come next year (I'm sure it will be repeated it sounds brilliant). We couldn't find camping sites but did leave it late :(
