I suggest sea shantys. (Of course) At song circle they have become accustomed to singing shantys whenever it's my turn.

Most of the shantys have wonderfully catchy tunes, and great choruses. You can pick and choose your verses (some are quite ribald) depending on who your're with.

One CD called "Steady as She Goes" has a great selection including "All For Me Grog", which is an old favorite. Folks love to join in that one. "Away Rio" is a pleasant farewell song, great with a group.

Another CD you would probably enjoy having is Liam's brother's CD called "Irish Ballads and Songs of the Sea" That one has "Row Bullies Row", and "Leave Her Johnny, Leave Her", both melodious and with great chorus singing parts.

I hope this helps,
