Firstly, sorry for the late post. I've been busily moving out of my uni house this week!

Last weekend brought the International Sea Shanty Festival back to Falmouth, which is actually a really big deal if you're in that realm of the music world, as it brings together traditional and contemporary sea shanty groups from around the world. However, if classic nautical tunes haven't made it onto your Spotify playlists it's just a great excuse to indulge in local food and drink all day long. The incredible weather that the UK experienced this week was the perfect accompaniment to the weekend, bringing out the floods of pale British sun worshippers and creating a beautifully warm, upbeat atmosphere across town. 

Over 20 venues hosted the 62 bands that graced Falmouth; I use the term 'venue' loosely there, as several of them were scattered in front of shops along the high street, but this really helped infuse the music throughout the town, allowing the poor souls (like myself, pity me) who were working to enjoy the festival along with everyone else. You could hear the gentle ebb and flow of harmonies from almost anywhere in Fal, which was both inviting and haunting in equal measure. It's a weird one, but if you embrace it for all it's nautical-ness the charm and positivity of the festival is infectious. Sorry for the lack of relevant imagery, I did a bad photographer thing and didn't bring a camera with me - oops.
