Worthing Sailing Club Shanty Workshop

On a cold and wet evening we all ventured out to support Emily in providing a Shanty Workshop to Worthing Sailing Club this Thursday. The weather did not deter club members and around 35 people turned up, including a few from the Secret Shore team to support the well received event. A number of songs were taught during the 2 hour workshop, including 'Roll the Old Chariot', 'John Kanaka', 'Mingulay Boat Song' and 'It's Time to Go Now'. All of the songs sung with great gusto and enthusiasm. Emily's ability to get a group who have never sung these songs together and by the end of the night produce such a great sound never ceases to amaze us all. The end of the evening was finished with the whole group standing around in a circle and singing to each other. What a brilliant evening; let's do it again sometime.
So people of Worthing when you are next passing the Sailing Club don't be surprised if you hear voices singing from the rigging; you now know the reason why !!
