It's shanty singing time in Orpington-at-Sea (SE London NW Kent) with the return of Hog Eye Men, who are Orpington Liberal Club's favourite & almost certainly London’s Premier Shanty Crew, HEM, who have a residency at the Cutty Sark in Greenwich, will entertain us with their huge repertoire of shanties and sea songs. They sing them as they used to be sung, simply, boldly and loudly. There'll be lots of chances to join in with responses.
We start off with Floorspots/ Open Mic from 19.30-20.20 hrs taking a short break before handing over to the Hog Eye Men who are set to launch the 1st of their 2 sets at 20.30 hrs. The evening is due to finish by 22.30.
Singers, musicians, poets & spoken word are all welcome. It's acoustic-based, with a small PA available for anyone wishing to mic up or plugin to play. Songs & tales of the sea will be welcome but not compulsory. A variety of genres are acceptable.
Payment is by a Cash hat collection, which goes to the guests. The suggested minimum contribution is £7 per head.
With the money being split a number of ways, it will be much appreciated if you can afford a little extra.
It's free entry for OLC members & £1 for non-members.
The club's CAMRA award-winning bar will be open. Real ales & craft ciders are a house speciality. It's card payments only.
