Pirates at Baskerville Hall

The regular musical evening was pretty quiet, with just a few regulars - but we were sharing the Hall with pirates!
It was some sort of corporate bonding session, and everyone had made an effort with the costumes, ranging from obviously fancy dress to some very nice corsets and frock coats. It seems that these were the staff of a Hereford based company called SHIP (hence the pirate theme) which works with homeless young people - so they probably deserved a good night out!
So of course, we all tried to think of nautical songs to sing, going as far as including the Monkees because they had Davy Jones! And I discovered that the songs of the Seekers suit my voice - I was really rather pleased with the way The Carnival Is Over sounded, and Morningtown Ride. So I'll be looking for more songs in a similar vein.
