Dutch Shantymen visiting UK now!

Shantymen Kaap Hoorn, the shanty group with which my brother-in-law Rob sings, is at present in the UK on a short singing and sightseeing tour of places of interest, including Hull (!)

If anyone is in the vicinity of their remaining performances, that is Robin Hood's Bay, Whitby, Scarborough and Hull, do go along and make them welcome, please. You'll hear them from some distance…

Sounds like a good place to be but sorry, Noreen, I'm just about to leave to drive to Liverpool to sing Shanties for the weekend! So pity I missed them!

What a coincidence, Alan, so am I... :0)

Hence my desire to send a representative to heckle instead of me. My children will be there in Robin Hoods Bay, joining in the choruses. Hope it all goes well, Rob and all.

I dreamed a dream the other night...

I'll see if I can gather some of the troops together to see them in Green Bricks - it's about 50 yards from me! Ta Noreen, mate!

I'll be there, sadly without The Fragrant One as she's working. Anybody else?

Thanks, Les.

Seems they really enjoyed their visit, and want to do it again sometime. They went down very well, and even raised some money for the RNLI as a sideline!
