The Wellington Wailers have been invited back, for the third year running, to present an illustrated talk on the Sea Songs and Shanty’s of the Seven Sea’s.  We will also review the history of Shoreham as a Seaport and Shipbuilding Centre, which lasted many years.
This illustrated talk, Presented by John Charlish, will form the first part of the evening, followed by refreshments and a second half of Sea Shanties and many choruses you can all join in with.  This talk has sold out over the past two years of performance, so purchase your tickets now from the Marlepins Museum.
We will be selling our latest CD of Shanty’s on the night, (High Tides and Low Life!) but if you wish to be conversant with the choruses before this evening you can get our CD’s from The Wailers Web Site, from us direct or at SOLD shop or The Duke of Wellington in Shoreham.
See ye there Ahaaaargh!
