Wayland Men's Shed

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
The crew has one gig arranged for October on the 24th at the Mid-Norfolk Stroke Group in the Watton Youth & Community Centre in Harvey Street starting at 13:30. This is likely to be a smallish gig but as a member of the Stroke Group myself, one that the members are looking forward to. Following on from the excellent feedback we received after the Queen’s Hall gig last month; the organisers have asked us back for another performance next year and have provisionally reserved 19th August at 11:00.
The crew continue their twice monthly rehearsals and work around planned gigs, but it has been mooted that further scheduled rehearsals be introduced in the New Year. This is still open to further discussion. Rehearsals are held in the room next to the pool table in the sports centre, on the first Monday and third Thursday of each month starting at 10:00am, and usually last for two hours.
