Local ‘land locked’ shanty band, ‘Isle ‘ave a Shanty’ launched their brand new album ‘Swinging the Lamp’ with a rousing, stomping and ultimately emotional set in the Glebe Hall in Sutton on Saturday – the very room in which they recorded it.
Invitations were sent to those who had supported them on their journey so far, including everyone who has booked them over the last three years as well as family, friends and supporters.
Local radio legend Sue Marchant introduced the band to the audience, that also included the man behind the record, producer Barry Watson.
Spokesman for the band, ‘Sea Sick’ Stuart Green said “It was truly a fantastic evening and we are so grateful for those that support us and came along to enjoy the show. We hope this is just the beginning of a long voyage!”
The album includes classic shanties, powerful narrative ballads and the band’s own song about Ely!
It is available on CD by contacting them directly isleaveashanty@yahoo.com, or on sale at any of their shows.
