Summer is here, and that means that it’s festival time again. The shanty festival season is now well and truly underway. In fact we started early this year, at the wonderful Cockwood Shanty Festival.
We then had a brilliant weekend in Gosport where we played two gigs at the ‘Tales from the Sea’ shanty festival. Later that day our friends from Scrimshanker Shanty invited us to an ‘afterglow’ along with several other shanty crews – a very memorable evening to end the festival!
And last weekend we were back in Newport for the Pirates in the Port festival – which is where it all really started for us exactly one year ago. As they say, time flies when you’re having fun, and it’s certainly been a great year of making music together and making new friends along the way!
There is much more to come in terms of festivals – next week we’ll be in Abergavenny, then Usk, followed by Portishead, Weston-super-Mare, Swansea (tbc), Bristol, and Mevagissey – and we’re really looking forward to every single one of them.
In addition, we’ll also perform at smaller gigs and other events, so have a look at our events calendar for all the details.
Last but not least, we now have a dedicated Youtube channel, where we’ll post videos and short clips of some our live sets – and, hopefully soon, some proper recordings!
