London Shanties Meetings

October shanties meetings in Great Britain

 

10. October - Friday

Shanties Evening in Birmingham

 The concert in Polish Millenium House will begin at 19:00

 Three polish bands will perform, each representing a different style of shanties. From traditional interpretations shown by a conservative North Wind to almost rock versions by the band Smugglers. Besides them the band The Doorsz will perform making an interesting use of harmonica, an instrument usually heard in country music, as well as a jazz-like bass. We expect other guests, too but they'll be a surprise.

We invite you!!

11. October - Saturday

Autumn Shanties in London

 The Meeting on River Thames with concerts of polish shanty bands. We'll "cruise" from classic shanties towards strong rock sounds of sea and ocean music abourd the boat Regalia.

 Bands from Poland will perform: Smugglers, The Doorsz, Flash Creep and North Wind. As well as Ian Woods, an english bard already known to polish community. He will be acompanied by Rejs.co.uk friends from the bands Flash Creep and North Wind creating together a one of a time atmosphere of a shanty-session. Iza Puklewicz will also aid the Smugglers with her fiddle.

 We also expect guests being a surprise for now, however their language may be familiar to your ears.

 Unfortunaely there won't be two ships as we had told before because one of them had to be put in dry dock for repairs. But due to the unfulfilled promises we offer 25% off the price for the next concert all people who come to the meeting in October. A valid ticket from 11. October will be a base for the discount.

 We invite you and ask not to be late. Even tugh everyone should manage to get on time, there's no reason to loose any time of the concert.

 

We invite you!!
