Great singing! Hi, Sooty, if you're reading this! I've found some more Dillon Bustin stuff. Linn |

Not sure if there's any cheap flights though. The club isn't by the sea, though we get plenty of puddles this time of year. |

I would encourage one and all to go and see them - they will really open your eyes to what shanty singing can be. Thema nd Stormalong Joh of Liverpool are just Masters. If you get the chance - ask them to sing the Good Old Way and/or Babylon is Fallen - it will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up - i guarantee it!!! And please tell them love from Lancaster! |

Great listening -- and even better in person. Say "hi" to them for me. Linn |
