Songs for St. Nic’s

17/10/2025 19:30 - 22:00

Enjoy the intimate atmosphere of The Hunter Club with an evening of harmonious folk songs and rousing sea shanties, in aid of St Nicholas
Hospice, while sampling craft beers, fine wines, and signature cocktails from The Hunter Club’s fully stocked bar.

Headlining the evening is Sound Tradition, an a cappella folk foursome (David, Linda, Catherine and Moose) singing in glorious harmony. Their varied repertoire ranges from lively chorus songs to lilting ballads, from medieval times to the modern day, but always with an ear for the English folk tradition.

They have proudly supported such luminaries as Martin Carthy, Dave Swarbrick, Chris Wood and Roy Bailey but also enjoy the main stage in
their own right. Hailing from East Anglia, Sound Tradition can be found at clubs and festivals across the country.
“Sound Tradition offered some of the best a capella harmony singing I have heard since Young Tradition.”

Roger Watson. (Chippenham Folk Festival 2023)

Supporting Sound Tradition is ShantyFolk, South Suffolk’s very own shanty crew. Five friends who met in 2014 when singing with a community choir based in Lavenham, ShantyFolk have brought their love of harmonies to rousing singalong sea shanties and melodic songs of the sea. Their distinctive sound and stories about these old songs have made them a
popular choice for fundraisers and festivals throughout East Anglia.
