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
We’ve been lucky enough to have two gigs this month. The first was a barnstorming return to the Queen’s Hall where we entertained a full house. The highlight was our esteemed chairman and member of the shanty crew Malcolm showcasing his acting skills in ‘Got No Beard.’
Our second gig was a trek down to Thetford for their short mat bowls team’s anniversary bash. It was an interesting gig that gave us all valuable experience with different types of audience. We next test our vocal skills at the Men’s Shed Anniversary shindig so look out for our blue shirts.
We always welcome new members so feel free to pop along to one of our rehearsals and see what we are about. There is no pressure to start singing straight away. For any further information speak to Ray or me.”
