Monthly a cappella sea shanty singing workshop run by Homeward Bound, held on the first Wednesday of each month.
Homeward Bound are back with their sea shanty sessions at The Toad on Wednesday 4 November, starting at 7:30pm. It's not a gig in the usual sense — you're not just there to listen. It's an a cappella singing workshop, so the whole point is to get involved and sing along rather than watch from the side.
If you've never come across them before, the format is straightforward: they lead through the shanties, and you join in. There's no instrumental accompaniment to lean on, so it's all voices. It's a cappella, which means the sound comes entirely from the room, and the whole thing is built around learning the songs as you go. You don't need to know any of the tunes beforehand to take part.
One of the best things about it is that it's a regular fixture. The sessions run once a month, on the first Wednesday, so if you miss this one, there's another coming up not long after. It's open to anyone who wants to learn the shanties and sing along, so it works whether you're a regular singer or someone who usually only belts it out in the shower. Because it's a workshop, the focus is on picking up the songs and finding your voice within the group.
