What a fantastic evening we had on Saturday evening, thanks to the Pot of Gold Shanty Crew!
They treated us to a few compositions of their own, as well as any number of traditional and well-known favourites, with our audience of 100 participating enthusiastically and with gusto.

The Crew has been a supporter of the Mundsley Volunteer Inshore Lifeboat and brought their collecting bucket along with them. Our appreciative audience donated just over £192 to the cause.

They have a few public gigs ahead of them this year and, if you missed them this time, I really would recommend that you catch them when you can - check out their website for details

So, to Roger, Viv, Dave, Adam, Norman, Alan & John (Ian and Ester we're sorry we missed you from the Crew this time), many many thanks.

There's only so much that a technophobe can achieve with an iPhone but here are some snaps & videos of the evening.

Coming soon to a church near you .................

Pot of Gold Shanty Crew return to Bergh Apton Church for a concert at 7pm Saturday 5th September

Often spotted entertaining folk around quaysides, piers, harbours, and shanty festivals, this engaging bunch are not averse to being brought in from 'The Wild' to perform in enclosed spaces too! They regularly sing in theatres, clubs, churches and pubs.

They brought their special Shanty Magic to us in 2023, delighting their audience then, and we're really looking forward to their doing it again. They perform traditional and not so traditional shanties and other songs from the sea.

Accompanied by banjo and guitar, we'll enjoy a great sound, a fair bit of banter, audience participation and fun - Why don't you join us? There's ample parking in the grassed field adjacent to the church.
Refreshments are included in the £12 ticket. We expect this to be a popular event so its best to book in advance if you can.

Call 01508 480576 (start leaving a message on the dreaded answer machine and you might be interrupted by a human - otherwise brace yourself and leave a message)
Or email [email protected]

Online booking is also possible using the Eventbrite link on the website, where you'll find details of other events this autumn.

If you're looking for something to do on Bank Holiday Monday that doesn't involve traffic jams en route to the beach, how about the Bergh Apton Horse & Fun Dog Show?

TGR Bites offering a range of 'edibles', Ice cream from Michael's Van. All in the lovely East Park of the Manor. Spectators free of charge but donations to the church would be much appreciated.

We'd like to welcome Lodge Roofing Ltd to their new home in the valley - just off Welbeck Road and beside the Household Waste Recycling Centre.

It's nice to give them a public Thank You shout for their help to Bergh Apton Church over the winter, when they generously opened their yard twice for funeral parking when our field decided to become a swamp.

They're a friendly bunch too.
