Welcome to the 13th Harwich International Shanty Festival!

Thirteen years of filling the old town of Harwich with song, music and entertainment! And all with a nautical flavour befitting its maritime heritage. For 2018 we have, as usual, a great programme on offer with concerts, boat cruises, train trips, pub sessions, workshops, street theatre, pirates and maritime crafts. Many of the events are free of charge and as many as possible are accessible to all. Much work has gone on behind the scenes to ensure a lively, vibrant and entertaining festival. We have booked a fantastic selection of Shanty Singers and Crews to entertain you. Full details will be found within these pages. Our international guests this year come from Spain, France, Belgium, Eire, the Netherlands and Russia and we have a talented selection of Shanty singers from all over the U.K. We are delighted to welcome back old friends and keen to introduce new ones.

Our aims remain the same: to celebrate Harwich town’s important maritime history, to promote the, now growing, little known tradition of shanties and sea songs and to provide affordable or free entertainment to the people of Harwich and visitors to the festival.

None of this would be possible without the support of our various sponsors, the festival venues, the hard working committee and the local community. Thanks go to all of those.

We hope that whether you are a newcomer to this festival or a regular visitor, you will enjoy the wide variety of entertainment which is on offer, join in with at least some of the activities and return to us in the future.

Traditional Sea Shanties Background InformationSea shanties are traditional shipboard working songs. Some date back to the fifteenth century, although most surviving examples date from the nineteenth, or occasionally, the eighteenth, century. In the days when the only source of energy on board ships and sailing vessels was manpower, these rhythmical songs served a very practical purpose; the rhythm of the songs synchronizing the work of the sailors onboard as they worked at their repetitive tasks. There was also a social purpose as the songs relieved boredom and encouraged a sense of camaraderie. So important was the shanty considered as an aid to working, that a Shantyman was often employed on board vessels to co-ordinate the men’s work.

Most shanties are divided into a “call and response” formula, where the Shantyman sings out one line and the crew respond with another, but different shanties were used to cover different types of work on board ship. Thus a long slow job such as hauling on a rope or halyard would call for a long, measured Halyard Shanty. Turning the Capstan to haul up the anchor called for a smoother and more regular Capstan Shanty, pumping the bilges required a Pumping Shanty – and so on. There were also many songs which the sailors would sing for their own amusement when not working and these are usually grouped together as Forebitters.

Historically shanties were not usually sung ashore, but nowadays they are popular in many countries, particularly, but not exclusively, those with a seafaring tradition. In mainland Europe many countries favour large Shanty Choirs, whereas many English speaking countries favour smaller groups. Although the days of the “Tall Ships” are gone, the Shanty song style is still popular and used for new musical compositions. Thus the Shanty tradition lives on and can be found in clubs and festivals throughout the world.

ObituaryDominic Dowsey-Magog

Dominic Dowsey-Magog died suddenly on April 9th this year, leaving the folk and shanty world reeling that such a thoroughly good man could be taken so early and so suddenly. He was one of those special people about whom it really is true that no one has a bad word to say about him. Dom had been coming to Harwich Shanty Festival for just a few years but had already made a name for himself and struck up many friendships. He had been a shantyman for a considerable while though, most notably with The Shanty Crew and sang with several other shanty crews and choirs. His in depth knowledge of this hobby matched his passion and this extended to his other love, that of classic motorbikes. He was a proud owner of a classic bike

and member of Northants Triumph Owners Club. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him and particularly this year at our Shanty Festival.
