OK, so here's a bit of an apology.

I have selfishly been taking a digital detox, which means this page has been somewhat lacking in content over the first six months of the year. I'm now back in a place where I can separate personal and Longshoremen pages... Thanks for bearing with us/me.

Big thanks to Tony Prior and all those involved in putting together another fantastic festival.
Hopefully with the fine weather and large crowds in attendance, it matched your efforts and the buckets were full.
Glad we could support such a great festival and hopefully see you again next year.
Cheers,
The Lowestoft Longshoremen
