She Shanties at the Old Net Loft, Brighton - December 13th
About this Event
SHE SHANTIES SESSION - THE LAST ONE OF 2026
6pm to 10pm, Sunday 13th December in the Old Net Loft
201 Kings Rd Arches, Brighton, BN1 1NB.
Come join us for some shanty singing in the historic Old Net Loft above Brighton's Fishing Museum. We are also welcoming folk ballads and songs of life and struggle in addition to the traditional sea shanties.
This time we’re also raising money in solidarity with women seeking asylum who are being evicted from a hotel here in Brighton. The hotel residents are part of our community and the community has been coming together to find alternative housing for our friends and neighbours to keep them with us in Brighton. Brighton says YES!
Led by local singers Jo N and Jo Goddard. Jo and Jo sing at a number of local folk events, including Homeward Bound shanty sessions at the Jolly Brewer and Farm Tavern. Jo G organises shanty and folk sessions at Rottingdean Windmill. Jo N is newer to singing and is keen to encourage others who might feel less confident.
We’re holding this workshop to encourage women and people with a connection to that identity (trans and nonbinary folks very welcome) to sing up, sing along, and enjoy a shanty session. We want to help build up the confidence of more women singers and singers of other marginalised genders to take part in the various shanty sessions around Sussex.
