Edinburgh Shanty Night was founded in early 2025 by people who are passionate about communal singing and who have the experience needed to bring people together. In only a few short months, it turned into a popular night out that invites everyone to come along and sing together.
Whether you’re an experienced siren or you swear up and down you can’t carry a tune, we welcome you aboard! Sea shanties are easy to pick up, and all we ask is that you’re willing to be part of the group.
Have an event on the horizon that would benefit from some shanties? Get in touch via the contact form!
