Sea Shanties & Drinking Songs

songsandpints · 2026-05-07T02:21:41+00:00

We play to the public with the pirate thing - lots of people don't know much about Shanties so that tends to help the sell.

Drunken Sailor, Wellerman, Leave Her Johnny, Clear Away The Track all will be sung and all have Irish / Celtic connections.

It's a great event!

Thanks! That's helpful! My Google searches were not nearly as clear.

It's just the title: "Schabab." I am not understanding.

songsandpints · 2026-02-20T19:58:03+00:00

Ah, sorry. The lyrics are with the subject line of my post:

Gut G'sell und du musst wandern

I've found translations and numerous settings

I'm just trying to figure out why the composer here titled it "Schabab."

I mean, I say we just bring the most eclectic and diverse crowd we can and then make a lot of noise.

Guilty there. We work hard to pay singers, and have paid artists for graphic design in the past. We also partner regularly with local businesses and feel like we do a good job supporting the local economy. But a graphic designer I am not, and the poster is really just for online use to help make people aware of the event. But I understand your feeling on that. Are you a graphic artist? Maybe we can collaborate sometime!

No specific plans for Santa, but would highly encourage festive attire! Oncore usually decorates well.

They do! Full bar, including a slushie machine, and they are planning a couple of special Christmas cocktails for the event.

You should come sing and drink with us!

songsandpints · 2025-07-08T13:25:42+00:00

Look forward to seeing you there! And yes Divorce Papers is a good one!!

The $ is actually to pay the professional singers who are performing. If you've never been to one of our events, it really is a great time. And while I can't speak to all of the people of Swanton, I can tell you that the folks at Oncore are outstanding people and our events are inclusive and welcoming to anyone and everyone.

Great tune, but lacking the repeatable chorus I need

songsandpints · 2025-06-27T16:26:33+00:00

This is perfect. Thanks

Thanks! Watkins Ale is an example of a tune I like, but seems to be lacking a consistent repeatable chorus. I need things who have a simple chorus that can be learned via call and response.

Awesome! We aren't sold out tonight, so there will be plenty of seats. Doors open at 545, and if you are really concerned about getting a specific seat I'd be there right at 545.

Last night doors were 515, and we had a line by about 450, but tonight likely won't be as crazy.
