Chris has been singing shanties virtually all his adult life and was a founder member of The Shanty Crew, back in the days when shanties were very much a niche interest. A long time friend of Stan Hugill, Chris will be presenting a workshop about that father of shantying, his ships, his paintings, his books and his shanty singing in addition to singing shanties himself.
