Sea Shanty Taster Session (Scalloway)

Curious about sea shanties? You don’t need to have a good singing voice or even sing in tune! Singing together is good for the brain and shanty singing is even better for your heart and your soul! Wanting to dip your toe in the water? Come in and join us…the water is lovely!
