Thread Name: Should women sing chanties
Subject: RE: Should women sing chanties
Last time we visited Ireland there was C and W on about half the radio stations we tuned into.
There are some male singers whose voices wouldn't suit shanties and some whose voices do.
Kate Rusby sounds great on her "deshantification" of Ranzo but can't imagine her doing "Chicken on a Raft"; She Shanties sound great on belting out what they do.
Horses for courses?
