SUMMARY:Shanty Marathon
DESCRIPTION:It is now nearly 12 years since Harwich International Shanty Festival held their first Shanty Marathon event and it remains a fond memory for many – in a masochistic sort of way! \nThe time is ripe for a second record breaking attempt. \nThere will be 26 hours of continuous shanties and sea songs in the Alma Inn Harwich starting 12.00 on Friday 28th April and ending 14.00 Saturday 29th April. \nSongs will be sung in shifts on a rota basis and no-one is expected to stay up for the entire 26 hours\, unless of course they want to. \nInsomniacs are of course particularly welcome! \nThis will be a fundraising venture for the Shanty Festival\, but the emphasis is on FUNdraising with raffles\, forfeits\, spot prizes\, shanty bingo and more to pass the time when not singing. \nEveryone is welcome\, from large shanty crews to solo singers\, with or without any previous shanty\, or indeed singing experience. \nThe idea is to keep the singing going and last time brought in some interesting gems from folks who had never heard of shanties before. \nWe will have words available if required. \nYou do not have to register in advance to attend\, although an indication of likely interest would be helpful and does not commit you in any way. \nThere are still rooms available in the Alma if required (https://emea.littlehotelier.com/properties/thealmainn ) and the bar will be open for the entire duration. \nAn added bonus is the Real Ale Festival taking place at the same time. \nContact info@harwichshantyfestival.co.uk for more information.
