Shanty Big Sings - what's next
|
We invite you to join us for our next Shanty Big Sing.
It will be held on Friday, 16 January 2026,
beginning at 8pm (20:00) British Time.

After Liverpool,
the next
Big Sing themes are yet to be determined.
Please feel free to make suggestions.
Meanwhile, the date for the session after "Liverpool" is tentatively set for 6 March.

Our theme will be any shanty -- or forebitter -- with an emphasis on
Liverpool.
To be sent the Zoom link to join us on the day,
whether to contribute a song or just to listen,
you must Register by emailing Linn.
Click here to get to a page which will help you do that.
The number of participants in the session,
both as singers and as non-singing observers,
will necessarily be limited.
We look forward to seeing what variety we all can gather.
"Leaving of Liverpool", "Liverpool Judies", "Liverpool docks", etc. are all fair game.
"Yellow Submarine" is not, though a song in shanty format about the Beatles might pass muster.
Note:
Don't worry about singing "the same" version as someone else.
Your singing style is unique, and is valid as a separate version.
Meanwhile, newly composed songs -- including parodies -- are valid
if they have the structure and style of traditional shanties.

Please check back here from time to time, as we'll be posting further developments (e.g., future themes and dates) when the information is available.
