Join us for an afternoon of captivating storytelling and jaunty sea shanties with Jan from the Dreadnought Shanty Crew.
The Dreadnought Shanty Crew was set up in January 2020 in Leith with a small grant from Tasgadh and Creative Scotland; they’ve been entertaining audiences with water-themed musical tales ever since.
Hop aboard for a mix of simple singalong sea shanties and listen to stories of resilience: tales of tall ships, pirates and women on the rocks — lady lighthouse keepers!
Sea shanties are traditional songs originally created and sung by sailors. Part of life at sea for centuries, they are now also accessible to us landlubbers!
Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided.
