Live Music

The Pavilion Shanty Choir

Join a brand-new singing group dedicated to exploring sea shanties and maritime music, celebrating the rich musical heritage of East Anglia's fishermen and sailors from days gone by. We'll meet and sing at the Pavilion Theatre in Gorleston, just a stone's throw from the Norfolk shoreline—close enough for the rhythm of the waves to lend their own accompaniment to our voices. This group will celebrate the music of our local seafaring communities, bringing to life the folk songs they created to share stories, mark the passing of time at sea, and preserve their culture. Led by Paul and Stephen of The Rogue Shanty Buoys—a professional sea shanty group with over a decade of experience - the group is part of a wider cultural and arts/heritage research project run by their not-for-profit arts organisation, The Voice cLoud. With a passion for keeping maritime music alive, they'll guide you through a stirring and spirited repertoire. Sign up to come along and sing traditional sea shanties, whaling songs, naval ballads, work songs, foc'sle tunes, and romantic ballads of roguish ne'er-do-wells. Expect tales of shipwrecks, smuggling, seafarers, and even the occasional murder ballad - all wrapped in evocative melodies of a bygone era. Fortnightly on a Tuesday, 1:30pm-3pm.
