About this event

Stamp and Go at the Lady.

Join us onboard Lady Daphne in Charlestown Harbour with a Glass or two of your favourite ‘Grog’ to hear stories and tales about her life on the water followed by sea songs and shanties from the local Group Stamp and Go.

A variety of ‘Grog’s’ will be available from our Bar throughout the Evening.

£8 per Entry Ticket (Bookable Below), Pre booking required as limited Capacity. Bar open from 6:30pm, presentation starts from 7:15pm.

Many years ago, Stamp and Go were a sea shanty group, and performed in all sorts of places, including The Orkney Folk Festival and The Lorient Celtic Festival.

Then they wrote a song about a ship, wrecked under the cliffs of Perranporth, their home. That opened the floodgates to a whole catalogue of songs about Cornwall:-
There are songs about mining, engineering, fishing, smuggling, and even one making gentle fun of the summer visitors. Songs about Cornish heroes, china clay: – and another famous shipwreck.
Most of them are included on their C.D.s- three of them so far and one that isn’t; about Richard Trevithick, is being produced as a video hopefully to be released soon!
