Shanties in Liverpool

After a very successful first Shanty Festival in Ellesmere Port over Easter, the focus of attention shifted to the other bank of the Mersey where the older Liverpool Shanty Festival is running over two weekends as part of the Spring on the Waterfront festival sponsored by Liverpool City Council and partners.

Here are some pictures taken on the opening day of the festival;-
