Saturday Concert Oban International Shanty Festival

The Oban international Shanty Festival has been rocking venues and the streets around Oban harbour since 2022. We have brought the cream of sea shanty singers and musicians to Scotland, many for the first time, as well as nurturing home grown talent to entertain locals and visitors alike with stories and songs of the sea, workshops and exhibitions. Shanties are great fun though created as worksongs they lend themselves to audience participation like no other music genre and their popularity has soared with every TikTok megahit and viseo games of piracy and adventures on the high seas. For 2025, we present, all the way from La Rochelle in the West of France Les Brouilleurs dcoutes. We could not let the opportunity pass to hear again one of the greatest shanty band that England has to offer, Kimber's Men or indeed Aberdeen's finest close harmony trio, Tripple. Shanty band Black Deepfrom Harwich returns but new to the Festival and a huge talent, Joss Cameron will be a hit with children and adults alike with her stories and songs.
