About

If you like singing and want to try something new, then come down to the Mission to Seafarers for a free rollicking singalong of shanties, folk songs, work songs and drinking songs, every Thursday.

No shanty experience or singing ability is needed, and newcomers are very welcome.

These spirited songs are easy to learn, so you can join in with the refrains and choruses, and even lead a song yourself. If needed, there’s an ample amount of liquid courage at the bar.

Purchasing drinks and snacks from the bar also encouraged to support the mission in providing assistance to seafarers.

Groups (up to a maximum of ten only) should contact the venue by phone.
