Come and bring your best foot stomp for Ōtepoti's premier sea shanty ensemble, performing at Pearl Diver, Dunedin, Sat 13th June for a koha-only show!
The group has been invited to perform at several of Canada's glorious seashanty festivals in August, representing the home of The Wellerman and tasked with bringing folk tales of the deep south to the far north.
This has led the group to take on an ambitous research and composition project - aiming to compose and tell the stories of maritime Aotearoa through original sea shanties written about our own home, and then develop this into an educational resource available to schools, museums and libraries.
To do this, the Hoiho need your help! Come donate what you can to contribute toward this project, learn some stories about New Zealand's unqiue relationship with the sea and sing your heart out with your favourite shanties!
Doors open 7pm, support from AKOBA and Alex Martyn 7:15-8:15,
Cap'n Spoonbill and the Hoiho 8:30pm
