Hello there shipmates and welcome to Shipshape and Bristol Fashion.

Hi, I'm Oggy and I'm a member of the Port of Bristol Shanty Crew.

And this podcast is all about covering what we get up to and how to find us in the future.

Hello and welcome to episode 13.

It's really great that you can join us.

You are in for an audible delight in this episode.

Now, if you are a regular listener, thank you for coming back and joining us.

And if you're brand new, then please do ensure that you don't miss out on all the previous episodes.

And so whatever platform that you're listening this episode on, there are many different ways where you can find our previous episodes.

And that's a great reminder that this is a podcast available on all good podcast apps, on your phone and of course on your PC.

Now, episode 13 is ironically our year anniversary.

This podcast has now been going on for a whole year.

Can you believe it?

Time flies when you're having fun.

This podcast started with the idea of covering the great work of the Port of Bristol Shanty Crew and ensuring that more and more people could hear about the crew itself.

And of course, over the last year I've joined as a crew and we've managed to raise a lot more money, so clearly something is working.

Thank you for sticking with us.

It's certainly a great way to catch up with us and kind of get a behind the scenes look of what goes on within the crew.

And of course, we look forward to another year moving forward.

Now on this episode we have.

It's kind of a long episode, so you've got a whole month to listen to it, so take your time.

But we've got two sets of audio that we captured at our first gig of 2025 in the pub called the Nova Scotia in Bristol.

It's now going to be one of our kind of permanent bases.

More information about that later on in the but we thought you would appreciate some audible delight with some of our songs, some of which we've not sung in public before.

So it was a great opportunity to air them out in front of a very, very receptive audience.

We also had a very special guest who joined us who you will hopefully hear a little bit later in the episode so, but before we jump into that audio, let's hear from the signaller.

Yo ho ho, you lovely listeners out there, it's the pegged leg signaller here.

Back after our Christmas break and a dry January and a rebuild for me with a new knee with news of all things shanty from the Port of Bristol Shanty Crew.

January was a very quiet month.

We didn't have any gigs, but allowed us to recharge and get ready for the coming season.

We have four gigs coming up in February and we are delighted that there are two new gigs and two repeat gigs.

And repeat gigs are always quite an amazement to the shanty crew because we can't think why on earth anybody would have us back.

But it's always lovely when we do them.

And I'll tell you little bit more about them in a moment.

January also gave us a bit of time to recover from the trauma caused by the publication of our calendars.

There are just a few left, so if anybody would want them, please get in touch.

I'm sure they are available for a.

A knockdown price from the original price that we, we charged them out at.

So if anybody wants them for friends, enemies or family members, please be in touch.

So the first gig is actually happening as we speak tonight.

It's on the Nova Scotia, that great pub down on the dockside in the harbour side in Bristol.

I think this is the first of what we're hoping will be a regularly shanty night on a Sunday evening.

And I'd like to give a special shout out to my cousins Kevin and Paul, who have turned up tonight to see me join in singing with the boys.

Unfortunately, I'm a bit confined to my sickbed still because of this knee, so my apologies, gents, but I'm sure you'll come again for the rest of the other evenings that we do down at Nova Scotia.

On Wednesday the 5th, the crew are singing at Snuffy Jacks, which is a great micro pub on Fishbonds High Street.

I think we're due to be on about 7:45.

It's a fantastic boozer, lots of real owls, lots of real ciders, small and intimate, so you might be a bit shouldered to shoulder shoulder if loads of people turn up.

But we're all looking forward to that.

The first of our repeat gigs is on Saturday 15th February over at Timsbury at the church there.

We did this last year and we didn't really know what to expect and when we turned up there was over 200 people packed into the church and it was great to sing there.

Amazing acoustics as you would obviously get from a church.

A fantastic audience and we were delighted to be able to help them raise some money for the church funds.

And the crew are all looking forward to going back there and singing again.

And then on Wednesday the 19th, it's a bit of a private gig.

We're entertaining the brethren on their and their families of the Lyegrove and Pur Down Mark Lodge over at Down End.

Again, we did this last year.

Very well received and very generous donations to our charity by all of the members of that lodge.

So, lovely listeners, this is the news coming from the Signaler.

I hope to be back a bit more lively and active in March.

We look forward to seeing as many of you as we can in February.

And I hope you're all fit and healthy after your January, behaving yourselves and looking forward to misbehaving as much as you can in February.

So that's enough from me.

It's over and out from the Signaller.

Thanks, Ash.

Yes, I really do hope that you start to feel better very soon.

There is a lot of time required to get better after a knee replacement, but we clearly are looking forward to seeing you back within the crew and singing your heart out with the many songs that you do sing for us.

So, like I said, we are now going to delve into the audio that we captured at the Nova Scotia.

Some great songs, some great giggles and of course, a little bit more about our calendars.

And in between, we're going to break it up with our regular feature, which is Ahoy There Matey, where we get to hear from one of the many different shanty crews from around the UK and around the world that want to promote what they're up to.

So, hello listeners, and welcome to this special live recording of our first gig here at the Nova Scotia.

And actually, it's our first gig for 2025.

We're looking forward to it.

And the reason we're here is that we are now going to be regulars here at the Nova Scotia.

Once every couple of months we will come along and provide a set and just be part of this beautiful pub.

As you can see, it's very busy already.

We're looking forward to entertaining them with the couple of sets that we have.

Two 45 minute sets that we.

And we've got a few songs that we've not sung before.

So we are looking forward to that.

I'm going to talk to the crew and see how they're feeling and getting ready for this evening.

So I'm here now with chilli.

We're at the bar, the best place, of course, we're about to do, obviously, a set.

They do multi batch as well, do they?

Yes.

Fantastic.

Oh, my goodness.

They've got everything here.

It's a great pub.

It's a great pub.

I'm with the bar staff.

What's your name, buddy?

Walter.

Walter.

Nice to meet you, buddy.

Tell us a little bit, a little bit about this pub because it looks very unique and very Bristolian.

It's a very historic pub, established in 1811.

So the original bar was actually built in 1908 and legend has it it was originally meant to be put on a boat, but it didn't fit, so they popped in here.

No better place.

No better place.

It looks fantastic.

There's countless spirits and I'm looking forward to doing one of them later.

And of course, it's great here, isn't it?

It seems very busy.

Anything more you want to let us know about the.

Just really like.

We try and keep it in.

Keeping these.

So these chart maps aren't the original.

Ones, but they've been.

We've had chart maps up on the walls for quite a while.

They've been redone over the while, but.

It just kind of ties into the kind of maritime theme that you can't.

Yeah.

Listeners, you obviously can't see it, but the wallpaper and the pictures are all very nautical themed.

There is some fantastic chart maps on the wall and of course, lots of the history of Bristol, because we're right next to the docks and would have.

Most ships would have passed this building back in the day.

Yeah.

And because of the history, I guess a lot of sailors would have come in here and have many of a story.

Yeah.

And still we have a lot of.

People who work down on the underfall yard.

They come in.

A lot of the volunteers who work down there coming in a Tuesday and.

Have their lunch, have a drink.

It's really good that the sailors are still coming in.

It's like just an amazing tradition and keeping that generation going.

So it's good.

Really good.

Well, this is our first time we've been here.

We're looking forward to singing to your customers.

We're looking forward to it too.

I know it should be good.

And we'll look forward to come back again and again and again to.

To really enhance the nautical theme of this amazing thing.

Amazing.

Beautiful.

Cheers, buddy.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Well, Nobby, how you doing, buddy?

Are you excited, Oggy?

My knees are rattling like a pair of castanets.

Here we are at the Nova.

I'm nervous.

Terrible.

I'm shaking.

Look, look.

Now you're an old hatter.

This because I need a beer.

I think you better get a beer.

There's great beer up there.

We've just heard that the.

But that the bar is actually originally designed to go on a boat.

Oh, I never knew that.

I didn't know that.

It's originally nice to be going a boat, but it was too big.

I've come here for a few years.

Never knew that.

Yeah.

You sing in the folk club upstairs.

There's a folk club there?

Used to be, yeah.

I don't know whether it still is.

And it was really great.

You know, we met people like Eric I lot there and the Rev knows he was here.

And Fish, he was a folk clubber down there.

Yeah.

Well, hello, Fish.

And what you.

I'm very well, thanks.

Zogy.

Beautiful.

This is our first acting.

So it is to look at and say merry Christmas, Happy New Year and hope you're well.

That's right.

It could be Happy Easter as well.

It could be.

Yeah.

Let's just put it all in one.

Because if you listen to this, it could be anytime.

Anything.

Could be anything.

Yeah.

So we're just hearing that you used to sing upstairs.

Yeah, Used to sing upstairs in the folk tradition.

And Rev and I both went to the same school as we know.

Cotton.

Yes.

And Eric Ilock, who is.

Who was a shanty men extraordinaire and played the whale bones.

Yeah.

Was a teacher at Cotton.

He taught geography and mathematics and he was rubbish.

But he was fantastic on the.

Well.

And he used to play upstairs as well now.

Long time.

That's right.

He won't listen to this podcast then.

It'll be fine.

You might be looking if you got the technology.

Oggy.

Yeah, I'll give it a go.

I'll try and spit it to the heavens.

Rev, Rev, how are you doing in the corner there?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm.

Special day for my dear wife Caroline and I.

Our 22nd wedding anniversary.

Wow.

Congratulations.

Yeah.

We chose to get married on the 2nd of.

Well, I chose basically on the 2nd of February because of course, it is the feast of the presentations.

Of course, Candle Mass.

And I was the vicar of St.

Anne's at the time.

And I realized that I would never forget our wedding anniversary.

No.

Because it was the feast of the presentation, the liturgical diaries.

And so far it hasn't let me down.

Oh, hallelujah.

Yeah.

And I was ma.

We were married by my dear friend Father Jack House, a legend in south Bristol.

A big city supporter.

Yeah.

He wore his Bristol City scarf and I wore my Bristol Rover scarf.

Fantastic.

I'll share a picture in the championship for people to see because I've seen today that you put it on your social media.

Oh, okay.

The people can see that you look.

Stunning with your scarf on.

I know a lot of people say that.

And he's aged well.

Yeah.

You're getting younger though, don't you?

I think so.

I think so.

So, Nova Scotia, are you looking forward to this evening?

Oh, Nova Scotia, absolutely.

We've got a good turnout.

Loads of crew here.

This is a very traditional shanty pub.

Yeah, shanties have been sung here for a long, long time.

Nobby once or twice came down here.

There's a room upstairs where the.

The Bristol Shanty men as was.

That's right.

Eric Iot used to sing and Eric I lot a legend in another legend.

A legend in Bristol shanty singing the best player of the bones in the whole country.

They used to sing upstairs and sometimes Nobby and I would go up and join in so great tradition at the Nova Scotia or as we call it, the Nova Scotia.

It's lovely to be here.

Nice.

Well, I'm to singing with you lads.

It's going to be good.

Yeah.

We have a.

We have a virgin compare tonight.

Gentle with me compare.

We're going to make sure he stands well in front of us because he has a problem.

It's a bit windy.

I hear there seems to be a force 10 blowing from the north which is quite terrifying really.

Talk about storm force 10.

I won't but you might feel it later.

But it's quite a breeze in it tonight.

It really is so chilly.

You've been appointed this evening as the compare.

First time giving this a go.

Taking us through the stormy waters of the two set list that we've got.

How you feeling?

Do you know that term press gang?

Yeah, I do, yeah.

Let's move along for now.

But do you know it's an absolute privilege to stand at the front.

Obviously there's a nice little crowd growing as well, so we'll hopefully entertain them and we'll end the evening off with a sort of a fantastic sort of gig list.

So hopefully they'll all love the songs that we're going to see.

We've got people behind us who are from all the way up from Portsmouth just to have a little listen tonight.

No way.

Yeah, absolutely.

And she.

And ladies, just saying she's.

She is an aficiono.

Yes.

On Shanties.

Well, that's gonna put pressure on you as the combat buddy.

Well, I'm a little bit terrified, actually.

Because I can see why I've had.

Frightening, actually.

Yes.

As you know, I'm quiet and reserved, so I'm sure what this is going to go like at the front.

But let's see what we can do.

Let's see what fun and chaos we can bring to this end of Bristol.

Well, listeners, you're in for a treat.

Let's listen to them now.

We are the Port of Bristol Shanty Crew.

Now, we are here to entertain you with a full variety of shanties which will bring tears to your eyes.

Certainly.

When you were in the first one.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Keep topping it up.

Rears do go muffle.

Sounds brilliant.

So what we do, we will introduce a little bit as we go along.

But we get on our first song tonight.

Okay?

And the first singer up tonight for the crew is Art.

And he's called Art for a very good reason.

We dished out the F.

You're the one.

Let's not elaborate on that.

Let's all hot air and say thank you for that introduction to the first song that you just made.

What's happened in that time We've expanded not just physically we've expanded the group.

We now got 12 of us adding waistlines and the waistline but we will all mention that one in a minute.

So we set our targets to obviously try and achieve certain targets of money over the course of those two years.

And just at Christmas.

Oh yes, we broke 40,000 pound barriers and all that money goes directly to the Teenage Cancer Trust which do amazing work for teenage children who got cancer.

Now part of that mentioned in 12 we did a calendar.

Forget all them women stuff, you've got the real nutcoin now.

It's quite.

Yeah, there's one of them.

So show us the inside.

These were for £20 and obviously because it's now February we're quite happy to take £5 or whatever else.

They're very well made, very well sort of look at that.

You don't see that on the high street.

Yes, there is a warning for children my heart and things like that but feel free to read out.

We are also.

Yeah, don't touch.

But we we've also got a little dabber if anybody wants to donate tonight because it is for a good charity.

So we do take cashes up.

But if anybody wants these, we have a few available.

We slummed shore and down on her a right whirl for the captain born all hands in small we'll take that whale in trouble.

Soon day the well had come to bring us sugar and tea and rum One day when the tongue is done we'll take our leave and go before the boats have hit the water the whale's tail came up four hands for the side pipe as she dived down longer soon day the weatherman come to bring us sugar and tea and rum One day when the wagon is done we'll take our leave and go.

No line was cut, no well was breathed.

The captain's mind was not of greed he belonged to the Whales when preachy took the chicken toll soon, nay the weather might come Bring us sugar and tea and one day when the tugging is done we'll take our leave and go foul for two days or even more the line went slack then tight once more all boats were lost There were only four but still that well did go soon day the weatherman come to bring us sugar and tea and rum One day when the tongue is done we'll take our leave and go as far as I've heard the fight's still on no line's been cut and the whale's not gone the wellerman makes his regular call to encourage the captain's crew and not soon may the wellman come to bring us sugar and tea and rum One day when the tongue is done we'll take our leave and go soon day the wellman come to bring us sugar and tea and rub One day when the tongue is done we'll take our leave and go Next.

So you'll know across the River island river from Shirehampton side is the lovely little place called Pill.

I know people have come here to hear this song all the way from Jersey.

He is a native of Philosopher Peel.

And there used to be a ferry used to go across from Peel to the Shire action side.

And the Peel lads would go over, have a few points in the van lighters and go back and have a few more points in the Jupiter.

So this is a little song written by Ash Cutler called Pill.

Pill.

Oh, and the night Petar can Store me.

And the bitter north wind blows across the fields through Shirehampton where the muddy avon flows.

There the pill lads gaily ride over on the ferry to the other side.

The boat starts swinging.

You'll hear them singing I'm rolling on the tide.

We're rolling with wheel pill I love these still.

We're round the south Australia.

Some of you probably know this, Some of you don't.

But shanties came about by singing songs which would help the crew do the menial tasks, like the pull in.

And all this on the ropes.

Now, one of the.

It's alleged to be the oldest shanty which features in.

Currently, I don't know if anyone's watched vikings.

Ever seen vikings?

If not, it's cracking.

It's really good.

But this is reputed to be the oldest shanty actually discovered at the moment.

I weren't born when it's made obvious, right.

My mother told you someday I will buy a galley with good oars sail to distant shores Stand upon the prow, noble bark I steer steady course to behaven too many foes my mother told me someday I will buy galley with good oars sail to distant shores Stand upon the prow noble bark I steer steady close to the haven you may foemen humane foemen My mother told me someday I will buy with good oars sail to distant shores Stand up on the proud noble barkai steer many foemen Was you ever in quebec?

Away we go, donkey riding, donkey riding way hey.

Away we go riding on a donkey Way hey Way we go, donkey riding, donkey riding way hey.

Way we go go riding on a donkey.

Okay, this is a bit of an experiment, so we thought we'd try a few new songs to a receptive audience.

My mother told me just now and completely balls that up.

So thanks for clapping.

Supposed to be a former song.

Hey, and this song is from a musical, actually, a donkey riding in the west called Operation Mincemeat.

It's a bit of a quiet one.

Find a girl and build a home, son so my father said to me.

But the winds, they bear me onwards and they call me to the sea not for me the plough furrow not for me the feather bed not for me the farmer's daughter to the waves my heart is wet if it's down, it's down together if it's up, it's up as one.

So sail on, boys Restormy weather Sooner journey will be done.

Lift your heart to the horizon Live your ears upon the shore this one life is for the living and we ask for nothing more if it's down, it's time together if it's all, it's up as one so say long, boys, rest all together soon the journey will be done if it's down, we stand together if it's up, it's up as one.

So to sail on, boys, through stormy weather Sooner journey will be done.

Nobby is now going to do the corn crate.

That's not a dance.

It's not a strip tease.

It's a corn crate.

More importantly, he wrote this.

We can't remember the words.

I did.

I never remember the words.

Sometimes.

Right?

You think we're joking?

Yeah.

The coral Craven ship and the general steam navigation that used to come into Bristol, bringing wine from Bordeaux and places like that.

And unloading for Harvey's wine cellars.

February before he starts.

Oh yeah.

I should say this has actually been recorded by the fishermen's friends.

Okay.

One of the great things of being part of this crew is I get to produce a podcast.

So if you are interested in hearing more of us, there is a podcast that you can find.

But we are deeply honored to have Cale with us this evening who writes.

Hey now.

This man has decided to write us a wonderful theme tune.

I'm supposed to be on the podcast next month.

Now he's going to take us through the song and we're going to join in the chorus.

K, over to you.

Well, some of you know me.

My name is Kayla Dean.

I wrote a song a couple of years ago and someone from this band somehow heard it.

That'll be a good theme tune for a podcast.

K, where are you in the calendar?

I didn't see you.

Well, you have to wait till 26 for that one.

He was the leap year.

Happy birthday.

Just so you're all aware, my friends have this really funny bit where they say it's my birthday even when it's not.

It's absolutely hilarious.

So apparently these guys know this song because it's on their podcast.

Do I know the song?

No, you're not drunk enough.

Shape and Bristol fashion boys along the harbour side Haven goes to underfall Even ho even fall alive that's your hello, town of the giant Lashon this vessel sea is certified in shape and crystal fashion from the home in Bristol we set out from the quay A ship is full of spices done for America Sugar in the hole below first mate of the crow it sails on fore and capstone raised it's soft to see we go shape and brace Old fashioned you may talk About a sailing ship's your strengths and all the flaws Only the greatest vessel can navigate this gorge so steady on the jigme boys KE over on your.

I don't think the years have changed that much.

Okay, this is one you all know.

It was actually, actually made famous by the Doublers.

But it was actually recorded and written originally in Bristol, so you know it.

Joining now I'm returning with golden great soul and I never will play the world over no more and it's no name never no name never no more Will I fail all over no, never I went into an ale house I used to frequent Not Sam.

And I told Sam my money was spent I asked him for credit he answered me nay, it's a horse A custom like yours I can get any day and it's no day never no more Put my hand in my pocket Poured out Sovereign's bride and the landlords I dug why we delight he said we have whiskey and beer of the reh but the word said I spoke shomber only I went home to my parents Confess what I've done I'm sure he will welcome his galaxy and if he forgives me as oft times before Then I never will play the W no more and it's no day never no day never no more When I play the rover no, never no more on this snow day never no they never no more no never no more Right, this is our last song.

Unfortunately, we don't know anymore.

We don't know.

You've used us all up.

Double up.

Alex.

Back to chopper.

This is.

This is full participation for you.

And we will talk you through what you've got to do.

Ready?

You've all got clenched Your right fist.

Right fist.

Clench.

Please be people.

And the chorus goes.

It's all part of being a pirate.

You go.

Right, let's give it a go, then.

It's all part of being a pirate.

I don't see much fist.

Fist waving down the end.

Got to be so careful with what you say.

Again.

Sorry.

He's lost it.

He's gone.

He's gone.

He's gone, he's gone.

It's all part of being a pirate.

Pirate Good for you.

You're good with your fists.

Being a pirate.

It's all fun in games Till somebody loses an eye.

It hurts like the blazes it makes you Poor faces.

You can't let it mate.

See you cry now, Natty Black Patch.

We'll cover that hatch and make sure that socket stays dry.

Being a pirate is all fun and games Till somebody loses an arm.

Here we go.

It's all part of being a pirate.

A pirate, a pirate.

Pirate.

Can't be a pirate with all of your heart.

It's so part of being a pirate.

A pirate, a pirate can't be a pirate with all of your heart.

Being a pirate is often in game.

So somebody loses an ear.

It rolls down your neck and it lies off on the deck.

When somebody hopefully says what's the answer?

You can't wear your glasses, you don't pull the lasses.

It's such a shout so you hear.

Be a pirate is all fun in games till somebody loses an ear.

It's all part of being a part.

A pirate, a pirate happy.

A pirate with all of your parts.

It's all part of being a pirate.

A pirate happy a pirate with all of your parts.

Being a pirate is off any game.

So somebody loses a hand.

It spurts and it squirts and it only a box I reckon no fashionable look in it no fashionable look.

But now you can't play in a band.

Being a pirate is all fun in games Till somebody loses a hand.

It's all part of being a pirate.

A pirate, a pirate happy.

A pirate with all of your parts.

It's all part of being a pirate.

A pirate, a pirate.

You can be a pirate with all of your heart.

Being a pirate is all fun in games Till somebody loses a leg never quickens.

Cause you're hopping about on a peg now you never get married.

Cause too long you've tarried and now you can't kneel down and beg.

A pirate is all fun and games Till somebody loses a leg.

It's so part of being a pirate.

A pirate, a Pirate can't be a pirate with all of your part it's so hard of being a pirate a pirate, a pirate can be a pirate with all of your heart Being a pirate is often in games till somebody loses box it's you don't choose it, don't want to lose it you're hoping that somebody spots it.

Then a dot comes along and he sews it back on or he stretches it tight and he pirates.

All fun and games till somebody loses a bosses it's so part of being a pirate can be a pirate with all of your part it's all part of being a pirate A pirate can be a pirate with all of your Being a pirate is all fun in games till somebody loses a head no early, too early, too early.

That's it, everyone.

We finished.

If you enjoyed it, we are the.

If you did enjoy it, we do little.

We are fishermen's friend.

Well, Doc, we've done two sets with the Nova Scotia.

How was that for you?

Well, that went really well, actually.

I think the landlord was delighted at how busy it was for a Sunday because apparently it's not normally quite as loaded as this.

But I'll just listen to the atmosphere.

We finished and the audience are on fire and they can't help themselves.

They're just singing relentlessly now.

It's fantastic, isn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

There's a real kind of shanty fan club that's come along to this that they're just.

They're just singing.

They just keep on going.

Well, there are a couple of pillites there.

One of them now lives in Jersey and he come down specially to hear Pill Pill sung by Rev tonight, which is.

That's amazing, isn't it?

Yeah.

Nobby aced the Corn Crake as well.

He did.

Yeah.

That's amazing.

No prompts needed.

All the Bristol songs went down really well tonight and you did very well.

You're kind of sing on, you know, on in the port of Bristol on the.

On the dock side.

Yeah, really good.

And.

Yeah, no, we really landed today.

It was great.

And then we sold some calendars as well.

Even though we're in February.

I know, I know.

To sell a few charity calendars for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

It's been awesome.

It's really good.

And we're hoping to be here every.

Couple of months now, aren't we?

You know, that's the.

Yeah, I'm guessing it.

It's.

We've been asked to sing on a monthly basis, but I think that's prob.

Probably a bit too much for us, but certainly bi.

Monthly would be good.

So hopefully we'll be back again in April.

Yeah, that'll be great fun.

Well, thanks, doc.

Really good night.

Thank you.

So that's it for this month's episode of Shipshape and Bristol Fashion.

We hope you really enjoyed it and if you did, we would really appreciate a review on the platform that you're currently listening to.

Now the way to do that is just go in, click a review or click the rate button.

That will allow you to give us a hopefully a five star review of this podcast.

It really does.

It certainly motivates us to keep creating this podcast and it's really good to hear what you think of the.

Of the show itself.

But more importantly, it does actually help us be discovered in the world of podcasting.

As you heard in the middle, we are clearly strongly promoting the up and coming Trelawney Shout event that then Bristol girls and others are hosting.

We will be there.

More information about that will be on our social media.

But please do mark that in your diary and come along and support it.

As a Cornish boy, I am absolutely all in favor of an opportunity to be in Bristol and to celebrate the patron saint of Cornwall, St Pyren.

Our social media is a great way to catch up with live updates of what the crew are up to.

So to do that, go onto your Facebook, search out the Port of Bristol shanty community, join us and then you'll get to see live updates.

You'll even get a sneaky happy birthday when it is your time of the year and big shout outs for big celebrations.

And of course to do that, pop onto Facebook, give us a search and you will find us.

But we're not just only there, we are also available on other social media platforms like X Instagram, TikTok, name them, we're there.

We would love to you to interact with us where possible because it's a great way of catching up with us and seeing what we're up to.

So thank you very much for listening Shipshape and Bristol Fashion will come back next month.

But until then, fair winds and following seas.
