Chris Roche

Chris has been interested in traditional sail and shanties for more years than he can shake a stick at and was formerly leader of “The Shanty Crew”. A former editor of the Journal of the Cape Horner Association he has rounded Cape Horn on three occasions on a square rigger, voyaged across the Pacific and crossed the Atlantic seven times since then. A native of Folkestone he guesses salt was added to his blood at birth. His show and illustrated talk this year is about Pitcairn Island, a rarely visited destination.
