Updated Song Book

Ahoy Everyone!

Below is a link to the freshly updated Secret Shore Songbook.  This mighty tome has been a faithful friend of Secret Shore Singers for a long time now, but it needed a little Spring clean to reflect where we are now.  Once we can meet again we'll talk more about any pruning or splicing that needs to be done, but for now just a few little tweaks!

See you all soon!

Worthing Oranges & Lemons Flingathon
An mazing turn out for the annual Worthing Journal orange and lemon charity Flingathon, under blue skies, in aid of Olly's Future. Audree Thompson, five, pitched the first orange for our cricket bat wielding Mayor, to commemorate the 1901 Indiana fruit wreck and 2008 Ice Prince wood wreck. Secret Shore Singers were there in numbers to add some suitable songs of the sea.Thank you so much to all those who came along and donated some money towards a great cause.

Joint Shanty Concerrt

Joint Shanty Concert - Saturday 25th January

A wonderful lunchtime free concert at St. Mary de Haura Church,  Shoreham. The concert was supported by songs of the sea from Secret Shore Singers, The Duck Pond Sailors & The Wellington Wailers!  A full church of around 400 spectators supported the  2 hour concert which was used  for raising funds for the charity Olly's Future, raising awareness of suicide in young people. The atmosphere inside the church was amazing and the different types of sea songs and shanties echoed through the rafters. The concert finished with a rousing version of 'Haul Away Joe' where all three groups joined together. Following the church concert the singers moved to the Duke of Wellington Pub in Shoreham where an informal follow-on singing session finished off the event. An amazing total of £1307.58 was raised for this amazing charity. Many thanks to all tat supported the event. More photos are available via our galley.

January Shanty Practice - 21st January
Another great practice session at the Ye Olde House at Home to start of the  New Year. Around 25 members turned up for this session supported by our wonderful Emily. It was explained that the evening would be used to go through the songs which we would be performing at the Shanty Concert on Saturday. The session was set up so we got used to singing together around the music stands. These are really improving out outdoor performances which enable us to lift our voices. The evening was a great success and really prepared us for the weekend.
