Also the Mudcat gathering in Portaferry in the County Down, someone else can tell you when that is- though I don't know how many shanties will happen there! :.) I'll see what else I can think of. |

Enough heart and voices to follow anything you might throw at them.. I had an unforgetable visit.. All the best, Guy |

01 Jan 03 - 09:27 AM (#856537) Subject: RE: shanty sessions in U.K. From: Noreen There are several other shanty festivals throughout the year, and more festivals with shanty sings, (I'll post the Shellback Chorus booking list if you like!) but Mariner's looking for Jan to April, before most festivals start. |

01 Jan 03 - 06:48 PM (#856891) Subject: RE: shanty sessions in U.K. From: Noreen Yes, Lancaster is the foremost shanty festival here, though Liverpool comes close :0) Only problem is that as it's funded in large part by the local council (as I understand it), the funding is always uncertain until the last minute, so there is always the chance that it might be cancelled at short notice. |
