Bristol Shantymen give boredom the "heave-ho" with library performance
The Bristol Shantymen will set sail for a free performance at Bath & North East Somerset Council's Midsomer Norton Library on Tuesday 19 February, from 7pm to 8pm.
The popular group will present a fantastic hour of sea songs and shanties, and intriguing stories of how they were used in the past, as part of the Council's "After Hours" programme of events designed to promote the wider use of libraries.

Bristol Shantyman
Sea shanties were songs used on sailing ships to help sailors work in co-ordinated rhythm. Although they are no longer used for working purposes they have become popular folk songs; with their rhythms making them especially appealing and hard to resist.
Councillor David Dixon (Lib-Dem, Oldfield), Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods, said: "The Bristol Shantymen are all set to offer some lively entertainment at Midsomer Norton Library on 19 February – which is sure to warm the cockles of your heart on a cold evening!
