Production details

Following their sold out performances of Rime, the Trad Academy Sea Shanty Choir returns to Wilton's for a weekend of rumbustification at the heart of London's historic dockside, celebrating traditional maritime work songs as well as contemporary songs of the sea. We are thrilled to welcome back The Trad Academy as curators of this community-led festival of music, art and history, featuring many of the finest international performers of maritime music. The stirring programme includes Yesterday's Men who performed for many years alongside the great Stan Hugill, as well as a return to performing by internationally renowned trio The Ballina Whalers. The festival will explore maritime cultures past and present through music, workshops, film, and artwork. Alongside this, panel discussions led by Professor Catherine Tackley of Liverpool University will provide an insight into the history of sailors working songs. With classic seafood, nautical cocktails and Adnam's fine range of marine-themed beers available, this promises to be a great weekend for one and all, from the tarry old salt to the seasick landlubber!
