Tonight is the Last Official Shant Of The Year at Mission to Seafarers! Come on down from 7pm to be filled with enough Shanty Joy to see you through the holiday season.

We'll be back on 15 January! Sorry, we did previously say the 8th, but Fisherman's Friends are in town that night and a good proportion of the Shanty Scene will be at their gig. Including us.

Also, here's your annual link to the best school-nativity-play-themed Christmas Shanty video that we've found so far.
