A wee shanty singalong in Pito-one before we head to Perth for the Albany Shanty Fest.
Expect original shanties along with your favourite trads.
Hot drinks and kai provided but BYO 'other drinks'.
The WSSS:
Aotearoa New Zealand's Most 'Sea Worthy' Shanty Group™ have been belting out traditional and original sea songs from Aotearoa, France, Spain, the UK and more, since time immemorial (2012).
The W.S.S.S have toured Aotearoa and France multiple times and are known for their rowdy and participatory live shows. They've performed at Paimpol (one of the world's largest shanty festivals), Splore, and a shipload of other festivals in NZ, France & Canada. Their new EP 'Sea Shanties of the 70s, 80s, & Today!' has just recently surfaced to complement their 'Now That's What I Call Sea Shanties' series. Another must-listen is 'Ahoy!' - a French/English album made with Nantes amis Croche Dedans.
They have recently been riding the 'Wellerman' wave as their recording was released prior to the 'shantytok' phenomena and is widely regarded as the definitive version.
