Who we are
Have you ever found yourself scrolling on social media and suddenly found yourself mesmerised by a video of someone singing sea shanties? Does the idea of getting together with a group of people and singing (without having to fear a spotlight) tickle your brain?
If so, you’re wired much like we are. We’re a small group of people who believe that singing together is pretty great, and that singing sea shanties together is rather fantastic. Our leading Shantyman has plenty of experience leading choirs, and sea shanties are very easy to pick up. So just come along and see for yourself - before long, you’ll count yourself among our crew.
How it works
Our shanty nights currently take place fortnightly on a Sunday evening, in different locations in Edinburgh. Our original home vessel is the Argyle Cellar Bar, our shanties by the sea take place at the Old Chain Pier, and we are keen to take you with us to other venues across the city! Times and venues will be communicated beforehand via this website (on the main page) and our Instagram channel.
Our events are open to everyone regardless of experience, with a minimum age requirement of 18+ unless specifically stated otherwise. We get so much interest from people who would like to bring their children, and we are actively working on an event where this is possible, but currently we are adults-only. Different venues have different rules regarding age minimums, so to keep it consistent and to avoid confusion, we will operate with this policy for the time being.
