Brave boys conquer downpour in Mirepoix!

A hardy crowd came to hear the AudeShantyMen under the ancient oak "couverts" in Mirepoix on the evening of 20 May. Not even the rain - torrential at one point - could dampen spirits. The Crew gave one of their most accomplished performances before being driven indoors to eat, drink, be merry and keep on shantying!

AUDESHANTYMEN STOP THE TRAFFIC

With a number of impromptu performances, The AudeShantyMen were received with rapturous delight and applause from an enthusiastic crowd at the Maritime Festival du Golfe du Morbihan in the town of Vannes on Saturday 16th May 2015

Excitement Mounts as AudesShantyMen prepare for Brittany!

 Crew rising to challenges ahead

These past few weeks have seen the AudeShantyMen spending enjoyable hours in  rehearsal and planning for the weekend in Pontivy and Vannes and their long anticipated meeting up with Brittany's Chantimor. At last the two shanty bands will be spending time singing, eating and drinking together after an internet friendship which has lasted two years and more. The prospect of participating in one of the major sea festivals in France has fired everyone's imagination. Vannes will be buzzing with seafarers and tall ships from as far away as Croatia attending this week long event. Our hosts have pulled out all the stops, for which we are enormously grateful. We are so looking forward to the adventure!
