Daughter Adelaide and dad in front of the Red Duster...

Daughter Adelaide and dad in front of the Red Duster. A great night in Sunderland on the occasion of the first live performance of our campaign song ‘City of Adelaide’. Many thanks to singer, songwriters Pete Dodds and Paul Jackson and all supporting musicians. Thanks also to Tony Griffiths and the management of Paddy Whacks Pub. We are going to be performing this song on the deck of the Adelaide when we bring her home to the River Wear!

CD’s of the song will be available soon. Please be patient.
