Dans & Folkton with a lively Irish evening with Folktales

A lively Irish evening of jigs, reels, and sea shanties, where instrumental tunes blend with songs and the audience is warmly invited to sing along. An evening filled with the joy of music, togetherness, and the rich traditions of Irish folk music. Warning: There is a significant risk that one or more body parts may start tapping along entirely of their own accord—or that your voice might suddenly join in on the choruses before you even realize it.

What are sea shanties? Sea shanties are rhythmic work songs traditionally sung by sailors aboard sailing ships to help coordinate heavy physical work. Their three defining features are: a leader who sings the verses (the shantyman), the crew responding in chorus, and a strong, steady rhythm that keeps everyone working together in time.
