Fylde Festival-Sea Cadets

Hi Noreen and any other Mudcatters at this years festival. I feel I must congratulate Noreen and the rest of the Shellback Chorus for a cracking night at the Sea Cadets hall on the Saturday. Pint and Dale and the Fleetwood Folk Club production of 'It all comes out of the Cod End' made it a truly memorable night. Surely there must be a case for making a maritime concert a regular event at this venue...the setting and acoustics are perfect.

Thanks Harry glad you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed doing it. The Shellback Chorus are a grand crowd and a pleasure to know and sing with.

How many of the Shellbacks are from the North West clubs and are they still looking for members?

Cheers, Harry, it was good to see you there too. Shellbacks agreed that it was a very good venue and we sounded at our best there. It's such fun singing with all those wonderful voices around you! A grand night indeed.

There are Shellbacks from all over the country, but most are based in the north- I keep meeting up with Shellbacks in other guises as folk clubs and festivals. Derek is interested in recruiting people who are local to festivals, or who would be attending anyway- so if you see Shellbacks at a festival and are interested in joining, come up and introduce yourself after a performance.

Next festival for the Shellbacks, and only remaining one this year, is Bedworth.

Thanks for the info Noreen...unfortunately Sara and I won't be able to make Bedworth. Incidentally, speaking of festivals, will you be able to make the Open Door event {October 20th.-21st.)?

Don't think I know about it, Harry- will you post a thread?

Sorry Noreen...thought you knew about it. I will post a thread but in the meantime all the info can be found on the Open Door Folk Club website which can be accessed pretty easily via Google. Briefly it's a two day mini-festival featuring Pete Coe, Brian Peters, Jez Lowe, Jon Brindley, Joan Blackburn and Joe Stead at the Bulls Head, Oldham Road, Failsworth. By the way...I've finally joined Mudcat!
