Shots! : Unconventional Brits: Episode 44 Coming up this week, we’re revisiting our traditional folk music heritage with a sea shanty crew and a day of dance in Lancashire.<br />

We were on TV this evening! If you missed it, the show can be seen on the channel's website. Filming and interviews were at one of the crew's "open rehearsals", a weekly summer event to raise money for the RNLI.

This is one of the songs the LSASC performed (in collaboration with other musicians) at the Capricorn Singers 40th anniversary concert in 2024.

It is a unique arrangement of Anna Shannon's lifeboat anthem "Ready for the Shout!".

In December 2024 the crew were involved with the Royal Foundation's Christmas concerts. The Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire asked us to open the proceedings from the ring of Blackpool Tower Circus. Three songs, including a well-received shanty medley.
