Subject: RE: Should women sing chanties
I think some shanties are just good songs, quite independent of their origin.
I saw the Birmingham Rep do a version of Treasure Island, and they did Lowlands, quite beautifully in a sort of choral arrangement.
You can't limit or legislate the creative spark that a song ignite
Women, troupes of dancing kangaroos, The wombles, The Smurfs... they're all out there!
