Time Out says

Much of lockdown now lives in our heads as a weird, foggy fever dream. But, one moment that stands out is when former postman Nathan Evans’ took over TikTok with his version of 19th-century sea shanty ‘Wellerman’. If the viral videos lit a passion inside you for guttural tones singing out acapella harmonies then hit up Royal Museum’s Greenwich’s Sea Shanty Festival. Shanty bands from across the UK will convene to sing trad maritime songs onboard the iconic Cutty Sark tea clipper. Listen to the choirs, or join a drop-in workshop to learn how yourself. Stick around for the mass sing-along to finish the day.
