Shanty flashmob lined up for Fringe show next month


* The Old Time Sailors will appear at Dinas Bran in April.

Llangollen Fringe has signed up a novel flashmob musical outfit for a show next month.

The Old Time Sailors will appear at Ysgol Dinas Bran - a new venue for the Fringe - on Friday April 29.

The sailors are billed as "17 of the finest shanty-singing sailors from around the world".

They'll play over 30 songs at Dinas Bran, where the audience is encouraged to sing and dance along with them.

The Fringe team says: "The flashmob performance is designed to take you back in time through an unforgettable trip to the 19th century. 

"Every member of the audience receives a copy of the Sunday Sailor, their own newspaper-shaped program which includes the lyrics to all their songs, plus personalized postal stamps, in order to sing along and become a sailor for one epic night.

"We're also excited to be using Dinas Bran Shool, which has amazing acoustics and plenty of space for everyone to boogie. And, donlt worry, the usual refreshments will be available."
