It's All for the Lifeboats !!

The AudeShantyMen at Station SNSM Gruissan



The AudeShantyMen were honoured to be invited by the President and members of the Gruissan Lifeboat Station to perform at their Open Day last Monday, 13th August.

 Alongside the AudeShantyMen were their friends from Ar-Vag who contributed hugely to the evening by singing their Breton Shanties as well as by selling crepes and cider to the appreciative passers-by, including many holidaymakers from different regions of France and other countries overseas.




With Gangplank and Albatross still in foreign climes it fell to Greybeard, Columbus, Magellan, Pirate and Powder Monkey to keep the "red duster" flying high.



The quayside setting, the fading Mediterranean light and the warmth of the crowd's reaction all combined to stimulate the AudeShantyMen to give a rousing performance.



Vive l'entente cordiale!
