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.
