⚓ **FROM THE CANAL SIDE TO THE CHURCH PEWS** ⚓Think you need a coastline for a sea shanty? Think again. Coming to Weddington from the landlocked heart of North Warwickshire, the **Hawkesbury Trawlermen** are bringing the spirit of the high seas to the "cut."
Named after the Greyhound Pub at Sutton Stop—where the bridge is definitely too low for a trawler—this group of mates boasts a collective age of over 700 years and a repertoire of rousing songs that could wake the dead (or at least the canal carp).

**Why You Should Come Along**
* **Maritime Magic (Minus the Salt):** Hearty harmonies and sea songs from the most unlikely "sailors" in the Midlands.
* **Folk Royalty:** Featuring hosts and regulars from the **Atherstone, Bedworth, and Nuneaton Folk Clubs**.
* **Posh Grub:** Enjoy the music with a glass of fizz and a selection of canapés—a bit of class to go with the canal-side frivolity.
* **A Good Laugh:** With seven centuries of life experience between them, the "Crew" knows how to tell a tale and keep a room smiling.
> "We’re miles from the ocean, but only a pint away from a good song. Join us for an afternoon of music that’s as deep as the Oxford Canal (give or take a few feet)."
