Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival

The 2010 Festival

Another successful, and truly international, festival took place on June 18-20. The publicity following problems with entertainment licences seemed to raise the profile of the festival - proving the old adage 'there's no such thing as bad publicity'.

As a sign-off to the 2010 festival, we would like to thank all our sponsors, especially Steve Skinner (and Betty), Falmouth Town Council and the BIDS Group, all the groups who supported the festival and everyone who came along to enjoy the sunshine and music.
