AudeShantyMen whip up fan frenzy!
They just couldn't get close enough to our brave boys! One brave lady even stormed the quarter deck with her recording gear, taking Magellan and the Mutineer rather by surprise but, as you can see, nothing daunted the Crew. The large crowd of regular fans, followers and tourists outside the cafés round the square - L'Atmosphère and Les Castignolles - was thoroughly entertained.
For the "New Hands" in the Crew it proved to be an encouraging performance. Dave (centre) and Bob got a taste of life as a shantyman. Even more so when the AudeShantyMen and their ladies retired to sample the culinary delights of the summer menu at Le Petit Bouchon - where the singing continued well into the night! A great night all round!
AudeShantyMen all up for returning to Mirepoix!
Storm force winds and a torrential downpour failed to dampen the enthusiasm of our gallant lads when they performed in this gem of a medieval town back in May. Now they are set to return to Mirepoix - this time hoping for a balmy, sunlit evening on which to entertain their fans, tourists and locals.
This rare opportunity to hear the Crew in the Ariège will take place under the famous oak "couverts" in front of the Cafés Atmosphère and Castignolles - where troubadours and other musicians have performed over a period of a thousand years. The AudeShantyMen will be singing from 18h30 on Wednesday 29th July.
Do spread the word and "venez nombreux!". What better than to relax with a pastis or two and listen to shanties and other songs of the sea - delivered in the inimitable harmonic style of the AudeShantymen.
