Shortly after being involved with the Shanty world myself and a very good Polish friend Pawel Je- drzejko (who I met in Germany) started putting together ideas for a large conference called MA- RIFESTI where all maritime fe- stival organisers could meet and discuss the idea and proposition of a worldwide organisation uni- ting all like minded people un- der one single organisation. This February the idea of MARIFE- STI was launched and the first edition of the conference was held during the Shanties 2011 festival in Krakow. This festival was stunning and was purely a festival dedicated to shanty mu- sic, it was a real honour to be a part of the conference and also to perform with many known Polish singers and be accepted into their community.
This year has already started to feel like it‘s moving very quickly for me, there are numerous tours and shows being planned and of course a new CD is being dis- cussed. I signed a management contract at the beginning of the year with Greyfoot management who are very supportive and provide answers for me when my mind is confused! Its great to be working with people who believe in what I am doing and share the passion for music.
