Set Sail for Fun: Our Adventures at the Pirates in the Port Fest!

Ahoy there, mateys! This time around, we're diving deep into the shanty scene at the Pirates in the Port Festival in Newport, where we had the absolute pleasure of supporting our pals, the Boys of Brin. We're all about celebrating sea shanties and folk music, and let me tell ya, this festival was a treasure trove of tunes and good vibes! We’ll be sharing our adventures from gigs, like the Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival, to our regular sessions at the Nova Scotia Hotel. Plus, we’ve got some juicy stories about our fun-filled performances and the community spirit that keeps us sailing smoothly. So grab a drink, settle in, and let’s shanty our way through this episode together!Companies mentioned in this episode: Port of Bristol Shanty Crew Boys of Brin Bristol and Western Hospital's charity Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival Oakland Construction Nova Scotia Hotel Gloucestershire's Masonic Family Day Pirates in the Port Festival Teenage Cancer Trust Severn Area Rescue Association HM Coast Guard Brecon Shanty Crew Ships and Giggles Sponsored by Nova Scotia https://novascotiabristol.com/Port of Bristol Shanty Crew Merchandise Shop https://pobshantycrew.co.uk/merchSubscribe to our newsletter www.shipshapepodcast.co.uk/newsletterJoin our Facebook crew https://www.facebook.com/groups/www.pobshantycrew.co.uk/Donate to Teenage Cancer Trust https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/POBShantyCrewTheme song provided by Kale A.
