11 Jul 11 - 10:54 AM (#3185436) Subject: RE: Maritime music Baltic Fleet 9th July From: GUEST,Doxy Hiya Everyone, It certainly was a great night. Good company, good beer and loads of great songs. What better place for a Maritime based sing too than the Baltic Fleet. Have a look at the history. We didn't see any of the ghosts though. I'll have a word with Simon about running another evening or possibly a monthly session Cheers Doxy |

It was euphamistically known as the Baltic Cafe when we used it for our lunch & evening breaks. We were able to park our liveried vans out of site round the back. We also had some great singing nights there and it was also a favourite haunt of the "Pill pushers " from Ayron Saunders. What memories of Liverpool in the old?? days Would love to get back there one day |
