Aunty Shanty Oxford is feminist, intersectional iniaitive to bring the s ea song and shanty tradition up to date, to be enjoyed by folk from all wal ks of life. If you're a die hard traditionalist, our session is probably no t for you
We respect the history and tradition of shanties but also respect the diversity of people who come to the sessio n. Our session is primarily a social space and we recognise that many of th e views voiced in shanties are not appropriate to sing in this setting.
What we're about: 1) Finding and sharing songs from different perspectiv es, e.g. songs about female sailors or fisherwomen.
2) Rescuing some of the cracking shanty tunes from racist/misognist lyrics through re-wordin gs, re-genderings and good old fashioned irony. This doesn't mean we can't enjoy a some fun swearing/innuendos/(consensual) sex jokes. Just be mindful that a diverse audience will be singing along, so keep things respectful. Chat to us with any thoughts or questions - we're still learning how to get the balance.
3) Making space in the session for those with quieter o r less confident voices.
4) Not judging people who are reading lyrics from their phone/forget half way through/who don't get it quite right/who break into Tom Jones half way through the night (this has happened before)! It's all about having a bash and not taking it too seriously.
5) Lis tening and learning all the time. Feedback and ideas always welcome.
