Arne Sneddon introduces a fine debut performance of 'City of Adelaide' by Sunderland musicians Paul Jackson and Pete Dodds and their band at Paddywhacks.
HAVING recently attended a campaign event in aid of bringing the historic City of Adelaide clipper back to its home city of Sunderland – which involved the launch of the excellent moving song, City of Adelaide, by Sunderland musicians Paul Jackson and Pete Dodds – it struck me what an emotive thing the issue has become.
"City of Adelaide set sail for home."
That was the message that rang out loudly in Sunderland as campaigners fighting to save Wearside's most historic ship launched their campaign song.
The City of Adelaide, a clipper as iconic in Australia’s history as the Mayflower is in America’s, faces demolition
By tonight the fate of one of Britain’s finest ships will be sealed. That fate, to be determined at a meeting involving the Heritage Lottery Fund, Historic Scotland and National Historic Ships, may well be demolition.
