Joint Shanty Concert - 25th Jan 2020
Our most excellent Shanty concert fundraiser event is coming up this month in Shoreham. The concert will be supported by singing from the Wellington Wailers, Duck Pond Sailors and the Secret Shore Singers (yes that means YOU !!)
The concert is free and there will be a collection afterwards for Ollys Future https://ollysfuture.org.uk/ and the RNLI https://rnli.org/
The formal part of the proceedings will be between 11:30 and 1pm (approx.) at St Mary de Haura Church. This will then be followed by an singing session at the Duke of Wellington Pub between 1:30pm(ish) and 3:45pm. The end time is constrained by a Jazz band scheduled to commence at 4pm.
We have access to the church from 10 for setting up and warming up so feel free to arrive any time from then but by 11 at the latest.
The concert will run like this:
11.50 - First set from Secret Shore - 4 songs
12.05 - First set from Duck Pond Sailors - 4 songs
12.20 - Interval for tea and cake kindly
provided by the church, and an opportunity to find out about Olly's Future and
