BREWING UP A GREAT SUCCESS
The Brasserie du Quercorb in Puivert hosted the most recent recital of favourite sea shanties by the AudeShantyMen. The tap room there provided an atmospheric and acoustically excellent setting for an enthusiastic performance that was book-ended by two Rugby World Cup quarter final matches. Not that it needed the appearance of Ireland in the first match for the sales of the brewery's own superior stout "Tres Ficela" on draught to be sampled and appreciated by many. Black as jade, a true Irish stout! Rich in malt with hints of coffee & bitter chocolate to finish. YUM With two IPA draught beers also available and a collection of classic bottled beers the afternoon proceeded well despite the disappointing results in the rugby for the northern hemisphere. Some carry outs were required to help "celebrate" the results. The song list chosen proved very popular with many well known rousing choruses bringing the performance to a crescendo. Many thanks to Paul and Jayne for their support and hospitality - we hope to see you again very soon and good luck with your ventures.

  1. A great report on a splendid day for the AudeShantyMen! Such a pity that I was unable to sing with you on this special occasion. Beer needed as Northern hemisphere teams tumbled out of RWC!
