| With 2005 being the bicentenary of Trafalgar, Nelson, Collingwood and all that, it is not surprising that Taffy is going to be busy performing Salty Tales, his rich repertoir of sea stories, sometimes with friends and collegues with whom he recorded the RNLI fund raising CD 'Salty Tales' including Tim Laycock, The Keelers, Aimee Laura Thomas and many more.
