Subject: Singing shanties in East Kent From: GUEST,Dave Hatton Date: 27 Apr 16 - 09:13 AM Hi - just wondering whether there is anyone else who's interested in maritime songs in the Canterbury area or roundabout who'd be interested in performing together, or whether there are any shanty groups looking for members locally. I'm only a folk-club-stand-up-and-sing type of bloke but when I return to my native Kent in the summer it's something I'd be interested in getting into. |
Subject: RE: Singing shanties in East Kent From: severed-head Date: 27 Apr 16 - 02:32 PM Hi Dave When you are back in Kent it may be worth checking out the monthly Shanty Session in Central London. Third Sunday in the month from 12 noon to about 3:00pm, organised by The Hog Eye Men. You could make some good contacts there. I know we have had people from the Broadstairs area in the past. Garry |

Subject: RE: Singing shanties in East Kent From: Kampervan Date: 28 Apr 16 - 05:42 AM Hi Dave, yes I might be interested. If you join Mudcat and put another post on this thread then I could send you a pm with my contact details. I live just outside Whitstable and, like you have been a stand up club performer and, in the dim and distant past, I was in a group. Joining is dead easy, hopefully her from you soon. |
Subject: RE: Singing shanties in East Kent From: GUEST,Dave Date: 28 Apr 16 - 01:23 PM All sounds good, thank you - I'll get proper membership so that we can get in contact off the forum, Kampervan. |
Subject: RE: Singing shanties in East Kent From: Abdul The Bul Bul Date: 28 Apr 16 - 01:40 PM Hi Dave, Whitstable Folk Club meets every last Friday at the Labour Club. Mark Lawson of Dead Horse and many other things folk related is our MC. Al |
Subject: RE: Singing shanties in East Kent From: GUEST,Dave Date: 28 Apr 16 - 01:45 PM Sounds like I'll have to start attending Whitstable folk club when I'm back living in Kent! Not that many sessions or clubs in Canterbury or around, so it'll be good to find somewhere relatively local. |
Subject: RE: Singing shanties in East Kent From: Abdul The Bul Bul Date: 29 Apr 16 - 11:41 AM You will not be short of places to go in East Kent Dave. Wednesdays at Faversham Folk Club, Thursday tune sessions at Faversham and Folk at The Drum North Stanford, Fridays at Deal FC, Tuesdays at Rochester Good Intent FC or Rainham FC, Mondays at Sheppey Acoustic.Various monthly session/singarounds too, good one at Broadstairs is Woodshed usually on second Sundays at the Wrotham Arms.Apologies to those I've missed Al |
Subject: RE: Singing shanties in East Kent From: Richard Bridge Date: 29 Apr 16 - 06:32 PM There's Chris Roche's/Dave Pleasants' shanty crew (the Shanty Crew) too. And keep an eye out for where Knights and Mageean are booked. They do a lot of shanties so places that book them may have other shanty stuff too. Oh, and the Shipwright Shanty Crew if still going. Hard Pressed are probably too far west for you. And Swinging the Lead although I think their base is Dartford. |
Subject: RE: Singing shanties in East Kent From: ManOfKent Date: 02 May 16 - 04:36 AM Thanks, Richard - I'll have a word with Dave as I occasionally get down to Stanford for FATD when I'm down. |
Subject: RE: Singing shanties in East Kent From: GUEST,R Wright Date: 15 May 19 - 10:00 AM Are there any sea shanty groups currently in the Whitstable/ Faversham area? |
