Shanty Singing in new room at the William Morris Pub

Just this performance will be held on the 2nd Thursday of the month, as our musical leader has been offered a largish fee to sing in an opera, and he needs the cash. This event will consist of three lively forty minute sets, mainly of well known Shanty Songs, with typed chorus sheets handed out to all guests, and we have got better and better over the past two and a half years, to my own pleasant surprise.
We will be moving for this event to a new room in the pub, where only Shanty fans will be invited, so there will be no annoyingly loud conversations from those who see live singing as background music
To complete your happiness, house beer and house drinks are half price from 6pm until 8pm.
It's an Edwardian bar in picturesque Merton Abbey Mills, which is ten minutes walk from Colliers Wood tube station.
Or you can catch a 57, 131 or 219 bus from Wimbledon station or Tooting Broadway station to Merton Abbey Mills bus stop, and they run every two or three minutes. We get a lively crowd, nearly all of whom join in singing the choruses.
Good quality hot food is available which is cooked on the premises.
Towards the end of the evening we take a few requests from audience members, who are invited on stage to sing the song with us, but only if they want to.
We usually perform here on the first Thursday of the month, and have been singing here for two and a half years, and it don't seem a day too long

Newcomers are welcome, and it's easy to join in singing the choruses, especially after a few drinks.
