It’s time to tell you more about our special shanty night on Sunday, 26th October. Keen-eyed shanty enthusiasts will have spotted that the event listing on our front page names a completely new venue - One Canon, EH3 5HA.

Late October is filled to the brim with Hallowe’en and Samhain festivities, and we don’t expect you to dress up if you don’t want to. What we’re proposing, rather, is that you embrace the spirit of things. Whether that means “ghosts” to you, or you want to embrace the shanty spirit by dressing up like General Taylor (or Greasy Annie!), then you are more than welcome to do so. None of this is a must, of course!

Expect candle light, haunting melodies, jaunty songs and 35 leagues of fun.

One Canon is a venue that offers great food, so why not get some pizza or fries? We’re kicking things off at 7.30pm, so you could head down early for food, or order throughout (last orders at 9.45pm)
