Hello everyone, I thought I'd post this in case nobody else has. The Plymouth Maritime Music Festival, a feat of singarounds, workshops, celidhs and shanties and of course boats, boats, boats, takes place around the historic Barbican,(harbour) Plymouth Devon Uk, in various venues between 27 and 29 July 2001. More details on site at the time. Cheers Deni

Thanks for the info.

I suspect that there are or will be more performers booked for the Plymouth Maritime Festival.

Meanwhile, Swansea will be hosting its maritime festival on the 6th-8th July.

I'm looking forward to that.

Well that's just typical, the one weekend I'll be away from Plymouth this summer! I'm off to WOMAD that w/e, which also clashes with Cambridge. That's the trouble with our short summer season; everything happens at once.

Oh well, I hope everyone who's able to make it has a good time!
