Growl You May But Go You Must! - Dementia Friendly Shanty Sing Along

Come and join storyteller and shanty-woman Jan Bee Brown for a relaxed hour of popular shanties with a story or two thrown into the mix. Jan is the Captain of the Shalder Shanty Singers in Scalloway on Shetland

• a fully inclusive dementia friendly crew of mixed ability set up with funding from Luminate - Dementia Friendly Singing initiative. Our strap line is ‘Growl you may but go you must!’ Sea Shanties with their familiar call and response are a great opportunity for folk who are living with dementia and their families to sing-along. We keep things simple, we sing for a bit then share some seafaring stories preferably with some refreshment. Come one come all!
