Set sail on Easy Sunday, all hands on deck!
Join us in the warm and welcoming Storytelling Court for a fun opportunity to learn some Sea Shanties, the history of seafaring songs, and the traditions and nature of maritime language. Then have fun singing some rousing choruses as a group (no singing skills required!), with a cup of warming soup.
Led by traditional Scots singer, Joss Cameron, whose energy and enthusiasm will have you engaged and singing in rhythm long after the event ends. Open to all, especially those interested in becoming a shanty singer!
~~~~~~~~~~~
This event is part of Easy Sundays, a monthly session of stories, music, community and friendship, where a warm welcome awaits with a variety of activities for all the family to enjoy. So come find a space to relax amongst friends, old and new.
