Cobh Maritime Song Festival
Dear friends,
The organizers of the Cobh Maritime Song Festival are at the moment awaiting funding decisions for 2010. We expect to have news from funders in February, and will at that time inform you as to when and whether our festival will go ahead this year.
Once again this is due to the current challenges faced during this economic downturn. We hope to have an update shortly and appreciate your interest and patience as we look towards the future.
Wishing you all the best in 2010.

Have a look at this new video just posted on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFBDxQ5Xd3s Created by Banana Boat and Eleanor McEvoy in Poland earlier this year. This is one of Eleanor's songs and we love it and think its the perfect time for such a composition. Banana Boat and Eleanor McEvoy met initially at the Cobh Maritime Song Festival a few years back and Banana Boat invited Eleanor to Euro Shanties festival in Katowice, Poland in 2008 - this recording is a direct result of her visit and their friendship. |

| The Passing of Johnny Collins | 2009/08/24 18:42 |
| Cobh Maritime Song Festival morns the loss of the great Johnny Collins. Johnny died in Gdansk, Poland in early July. His funeral took place in London on 13 August 2009. It was a most moving experience - Johnny was sent off with the help of 150+ voices of his friends, family and colleagues, singing at full volume. A most powerful energy, greater than can be imagined. It was an honour to be present for such a commemoration. We will miss Johnny's timber rattling tones here in Sirius, as we know will many of our friends round the world. It was an honour to know this great man. | |
