For several years Tuesday night at the Middle Bar in Sidmouth has been a Sidmouth Lifeboat benefit night. For the last three years the Exmouth Shantymen have started at the middle bar,led a breakout run ashore to other venues, raising loads of cash, and returning for the final spasm. The crew won't be there as a whole this year, so in consultation with the organiser, Mike Gibson ( Cllr) I'm trying to organise a Motley crew to do about 3/4 spots around the town to add to the coffers. Who's up for it.? Tues...meet at Middle bar for 8.00, hit a few spots ( Rosies, sailing club, ship, swan,and back to Middle bar.)

hmmm. . .
I would only wear such if the 'I've sucked a ' wording was rather less conspicuous, ie only visible at close quarters.
But nice design otherwise, Tam- if Lofthouses don't mind.

See what happens when people take you seriously, Jeff!

If I don't sell the design or the tshirts with the design, Lofthouses shouldn't mind at all. No one profits from their brand. And it makes free advertisement for them.

That is why I made the inverted design. So people could nip down to Staples and by the printable iron on paper for transferring designs to fabric.


I rather like the bold letters. But then I don't mind in ur face kind of statements on tshirts. Pure entertainment for me.

Thanks for the compliment.

Well, Terry. Thereby hangs a tale, the Sidmouth Lifeboat isn't RNLI, who think one isn't necessary there. Sidmouth, being independent minded manage to finance their own lifeboat without central support. I understand there's not much love lost betwen the Sidmouth Crew and local RNLI crew.

Although Sidmouth has it's own private lifeboat, I'm told the crew are trained by the RNLI. Sidmouth residents raise money for both RNLI and their own lifeboat. Personally if I am drowning off Sidmouth I don't really care which one rescues me!

Doon't know if any or all of these are "shanties."

I sing Odetta style versions of Run Come See Jerusalem and Heave Away Santyanno.

I wail a fair version of General Taylor, growl Johnson Girls and moan Shallow Brown. Sing Grey Funnel Line too.

I kind of know Four Old Whores of Baltimore and could be persuaded to learn it proper to do the verses if everyone joins in on the chorus.

Will there be a short rehearsal prior to the actual sing?

My suggestions for the list:

Chicken on a Raft
Blow Boys, Blow or Congo River
Drop of Nelson's Blood or Roll the Chariot Along
Haul Away Joe
Lowlands
Rolling Home
Rolling Down to Old Maui
Mingulay Boat Song
Shenandoah
The Focs'le Song or Sailor's Farewell Hymn or Tis Our Sailing Time.


Someone has to sing Whup Jamboree.

Subject: RE: Any Shanty singers coming to Sidmouth?
From: Tug the Cox
Date: 06 Jul 10 - 01:17 PM

Probably about 3 or 4 songs per stop.Could have a rehearsal in the afternoon, but the likelihood of everyone being available twice in a day is pretty small. Most people wil know choruses...just leads need to be confident. Looking good, I'll try to make sure everyone who want's to lead gets a chance.....will negotiate with cllr about what we do at Middle bar before and after run ashore.
make yourself known GRex, either tthen or before.

Let's see - there's Haul'em away and Cheerly Man I don't think have been mentioned yet - I used them for the fors'l and mains'l haliards.

Has anyone suggested Blood Red Roses?

I never needed the lifeboat, but it was always some comfort to know there were men dafter than you, who'd put out to sea to try to get you out of the fix you'd got yourself into.

I know all the verses to 'For those in peril on the sea' though.

As for Decadry: I opened a pack of sticky labels the other day: supposed to be 65 per sheet, and there were 21 per sheet, even tho' all the packaging and even the backing paper said 65 per sheet!

Definitely loads of fun... but I must learn more shanties for next year.

I was going to do Santyanno and General Taylor but mine are not traditional versions I think as others sang them differently.

Great to meet mudcatters and put faces to names.




as an aside to Terry the Shanty Annas is a fabulous name for girl group shanty singers.
