Returning with a bold new sense of bravery, Sophia uses her status to become a beacon in the fight for women’s suffrage and Indian independence.

The Motley Crew Sea Shantymen

26 April

Opus 14

The Motley Crew Sea Shantymen

A Special Matinee Afternoon Concert.

Singing shanties and songs of the sea out of Brightlingsea.

Long, long ago, a group of likeminded chaps hit on the idea of singing sea shanties for fun. Despite it being a late night at the yacht club, most remembered the idea the day after and thus The Motley Crew was born. From there they’ve gone on to sing at fetes, smack and barge matches, regattas, dinners, weddings, parties, shop openings and numerous other events. They’ve supported lots of charities over the years, but their main charity is the RNLI (as most of them sail, they figure it's a good investment) and they’ve raised over £30,000 for this worthy cause.

They don’t take theirselves too seriously. Audiences appreciate their robust, light-hearted style and so long as everyone enjoys themselves and the RNLI gets a few more well-deserved pennies out of their efforts, that’s all that matters!
