The Shanty Group
Shanty Group members enjoy a good sing along. We are not a choir in the formal sense and don't aspire for perfection; however, we do our best to reach a good standard and have recently played a few gigs in local venues where we were well received.
You don't have to be a good singer or read music to join in but a sense of humour is essential. We rehearse fortnightly - usually the first Monday and third Wednesday of the month. There is no additional charge other than the usual £2 fee for attending the shed. Why not come along and give it a go?
Shanty Group Latest News
Rehearsals now take place on the first Monday, and the second and third Wednesdays of every month. Theextra rehearsal is already showing rewards; we have learned some new songs that are already “gig ready.
Not everyone is able to make every rehearsal but all the same they are well attended with an average of 10 crew members. It has given us more chance to work on new material, as well as going over established songs.
We have one booking in March at the Stoma Support Group in Hethersett and have run through the set list at rehearsal. We are planning on debuting a couple of new songs and fingers crossed, should go down well.
We have been confirmed for the Watton Spring Event in the High Street, and we have a half hour slot 14:30-15:00 on Sunday 24th May. Singing outdoors is a challenge in itself, but we are hoping to have our new sound system by then.
