We are the AudeShantyMen. This blog will tell you something about who we are, what we do and, most important of all, where you can hear us sing.

Night out at Trèbes for the AudeShantyMen
Crew bid "au revoir" to Mutineer
In the five months he has been singing with us, Tony (Mutineer) Fletcher has very much earned his red duster as an AudeShantyMan. Last night, at a Mess Dinner held in the quayside restaurant "La Poissonnerie Moderne" by the Canal du Midi, he was paid off in style. He and his wife, Ann, are hoping to return to the Razès before too long and we shall all welcome him warmly back.
The Crew had long wanted to sing at this venue and kept their fellow diners and passers-by hugely entertained throughout the evening, even singing informally for the residents of the boats moored alongside. A grand night all round!

Charity Appearance for the Crew
Five of the Crew accepted an invitation to sing at the SPA charity Spring Fayre at Berriac on Sunday afternoon, the 5th May. Their contribution was much appreciated by the organisers of this association which provides support for unwanted and abandoned dogs. Indeed, one of our canine friends joined the AudeShantyMen in the chorus of "Whip Jamboree" - a fact noted with hilarity by those singing and listening! Thanks to the efforts of Julie Christian and the volunteers just under €1000.00 was raised on the day. Well done, everyone.
