Club Night - Shanties Evening - Tuesday 18November 2025
Tue 18 Nov 2025 18:30
Book now for the 2025 LSC Shanties evening on 18 November! We've had to turn people away in previous years!
Led by Mark Turvey and compered by Michael Forbes Smith, the evening features Shanties and Sea Songs - many for you to sing; some for you to be entertained by; general frivolity, a three course seafaring dinner washed down with a tot of rum; and a great deal of banging on tables.
We're joined by a small group of singers that Mark puts together, by the Donkey Riders Shanty singers and this year by shanty enthusaists from the Rona Sailing Trust.
Come and sing, or come and bang a spoon on the table! Bring a guest! Join us for the LSC's 14th Annual Shanties evening!
This year, a cash collection will be taken for the Mission to Seafarers. The Shanties evening has raised a little over £4,500 for Help for Heroes over previous years.
Proceedings will start promptly at 19:15.
If you have a song to sing or a nautical rhyme or ditty to recite, then please let the organiser know.
Book early - our last two Shanties Evenings sold out!
