New Stan Hugill website

Subject: New Stan Hugill website
From: Peter Kasin

There is a website under construction dedicated to Stan Hugill. It is being created by England's Jan and Ken Lardner, with the blessings and participation of Stan Hugill's widow. Though still under construction, there are some entries to see on the site.
Stories and reminiscences of Stan Hugill are being sought by Jan and Ken for the site. If you have any that you'd like to share, they would love to hear from you. Thanks, Jan and Ken, for this effort to preserve and share with the many, Stan Hugill's legacy. The site can be found at www.stanhugill.com

A great website - lovely to hear the old bugger again. Should sell a few books and CDs and brighten up life for a few people.
Cheers

Presumably his sons are in on the act?

Clicked on that link, and I nearly jumped out of my skin when he bellowed out at me.

I'll never forget the weekend back in 1962 that a bunch of us, from club that used to meet at the York and Albany pub nearby, spent at Cecil Sharp House, as singing crew for the record that came out as "Shanties of the Seven Seas". It was stereo, so he had us walking round in circles for the capstans shanties, and lined up pulling on light cables for the hauling shanties. There wasn't any masts and rigging handy or beyond doubt he'd have had us climbing up them. Stan Kelly from Liverpool was there in the chorus as well.

Great to have this resource.

Who does one contact now to request a release for the use of Stan's artwork for a forthcoming songbook publication, his widow, his sons?

Well, I can't access streaming audio from work so I can't hear Stan's voice on the website but thanks for sharing the link with us, Chanteyranger.

That's probably as well, or he'd have woken everybody up and sent them running round to find what was happening.

Oh, I don't know, some of the folks around here could do with a wake-up occasionally.

The irony of my situation is that I finally got a CPU with a sound card at the same time that new Internet protocols went into effect that block streaming audio. Damn that Murphy and his laws!

Charley, I'd never seen any of his paintings before and they're absolutely brilliant. Lots of ships, but take a look at "'Captain Morgan's Sacking of Panama' painted on a linen bed sheet in Milag P.O.W camp Germany October 1942"

Thank you Chanteyranger and Gareth!

Great idea, shame that the site is so badly designed and wrought.

I've emailed a few technical suggestions.

Bravo, anyway

Audio OK on Internet Explorer, but absent on Navigator or Netscape.

Reading the article on Folk-Music in an old Chambers Encyclopaedia (1950 ed.). It says: "The making of new folk-songs has stopped in urban communities and the use of steam instead of sail at sea means that there will be no new shanties."

Some day, I hope, there will be a biography of this larger than life shantyman, and an unexpurgated edition of the songs he collected.

Among other things I would like to read more about Stan organizing shantying while in a German P.O.W. camp in WW II.

I've always been fond of Stan's pen and ink illustrations for Shanties of the Seven Seas, and it would be nice to see some of them posted to the Website.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

Reading McGrath's posting had me wondering if the man himself had 'em drawing pints for the pumping shanties:-)

I have a friend who wrote a song about Stan after meeting him at Mystic. It's a wonderful song. I just emailed him to tell him of the site and suggest he post his song there.

Sorry to see the website stanhugill.com has gone down - Is this temporary? Is there a replacement?

Maybe an oversight. You could contact the site registrant via The_Chantey_Cabin

Alas, that domain appears to have expired. A look at the archived copy suggests that the Web page hasn't been updated since 2003.

It expired on 1st November this year, I think - but I'm not sure. The registrant is Ken Lardner of the site I posted above. Maybe he forgot to renew, maybe not. If anyone values the site I suggest they contact him and ask. (His phone number is on the domain register BTW. PM me if you want it.)

Form? There's an email link which should allow you to send an ordinary email. But he may not be reading his email.
