Canberra Shanty Club
Canberra Shanty Club are a sea shanty pub choir that run chorus singing sessions accessible for experienced singers and beginners alike. We're dedicated to spreading the joy of uproariously fun high energy singing and welcome those who have never experienced the adrenaline rush of being in a room with a hundred other people chanting and singing at the top of your lungs.
Our repertoire focuses on sea shanties and other chorus songs that follow simple repetitions, and allow easy entry into gloriously beautiful harmonies.
We offer a workshop that teaches the basics of singing shanties, explains why shanties came about, and most importantly teaches people how to sing some of our favourite shanties. This is focused towards people who may never have sung before, or who are new to chorus singing. By the end, participants will have an idea about the form of a typical song and should be comfortable to attend a traditional singing session

The Thieving Magpies
The Thieving Magpies roam the musical world picking up pretty tunes wherever they find them -Scandinavia, the Balkans, the Middle East, the British Isles & a smattering of originals.
We characterise ourselves as tune thieves because we take pride in our ability to pick the eyes out of traditional repertoires from all over the world. If it is shiny enough to catch our ears and proves to be sweet and tasty, we'll add it to the collection! As well as playing guitar, Marni Sheehan's dusted off her piano accordion, Jane Harding's doing rhythms and melody on tenor banjo and Natasha Mullings keeps us nice with her beautiful classical flute playing. A trio of unexpected delights, if ever there was one!
Audiences appreciate our act for its sparkle, variety, humour & the occasional Dark Moment.
