An all senses interactive experiential show that pulls out all the stops, you're invited to find your sea legs, sing and dance along and join our trumpet led conga around the ship!
As a member of the crew you'll chart a course for the 19th century, a period of intrepid nautical exploration, camaraderie and chaos; immersing yourself in an evening of traditional seafaring music, songs and shanties infused with Celtic Rock, punk and ska, among other surprises.
Led by Captain Nicholas Moffatt the ensemble of 20 brave musicians, multiple voices and over 30 traditional and modern instruments, play a repertoire of over 40 songs, the band play fully unplugged to ensure a dynamic and interactive experience.
As part of this unique show, every member of the audience will have the opportunity to purchase a copy of the ‘Sunday Sailor’, the groups’ custom-made, newspaper-styled programme which includes the lyrics to all of the songs to be performed across the night , leaving you no excuse not to join in. Assisting revellers with an authentic kind of drinking apparatus perfect for the occasion, official Old Time Sailors tankards will also be available to buy on the night.
Promising a feel good, endorphin elevating, sensory-popping show unmatched in its musical genre, expect to step inside a magnificent stage set with realistic traditional dress for a night specifically designed to provide a vividly real sensation of being aboard the Old Time Sailors’ trusty 19th century vessel.
