“What shall we do with the drunken sailor?” Come and find out at our evening of rousing sea shanties at the Bristol Folk House led by Matt and Kirsty from Mutiny Shanties!

There will be opportunities to join in or just sit back and enjoy the show.

Lyrics will be available for anyone unable to resist the lure of a good song with a strong beat designed to help with the heave-ho of strong physical labour.

Entry to all our exhibitions remains free: events such as this help us raise much-needed funds to keep Ken’s vision alive and to assure the future of his delightful collection.

I soon got used to this singing, for the sailors never touched a rope without it . . . Some sea captains, before shipping a man, always ask him whether he can sing out at a rope.
