The Nelson's men are a New shanty crew starting up in February 2025 at Osmington village hall DT3 6FT. We will meet every Monday.
The idea is to be a Traditional Shanty crew singing mainly a cappella.
In time, traditional instruments which would have been used in days gone by will be added.
Steve has a great deal of experience singing these wonderful traditional songs and is keen to put together the best crew in the area.
So if you have a good voice and want to be part of something special get in touch.
I look forward to hearing you.
7.00-9.00 pm
£4 per session

The Stanchester Quire, the community quire with a difference, is now based in Leigh in Dorset, with a monthly Saturday workshop and a monthly practice on a Monday evening.
We sing songs and carols (depending on the season) all of which have either been collected from, or written about, the South West of England. We perform at a series of concerts in December, and on less formal occasions (e.g. village fetes) during the summer.
New members are always very welcome and the ability to read music is not essential as we learn everything by ear.
So why not come along and try the first workshop free? Singing in a quire is good for the mind, body and soul!
£10 per Saturday workshop, (10 – 3) Monday evenings free to members (7:30 – 9).
New members are always very welcome and the ability to read music is not essential as we learn everything by ear.
So why not come along and try the first couple of weeks free? Singing in a quire is good for the soul!
