Whether on a grand stage or in a cozy pub, Admiral’s Secret are on a mission to keep the tradition of sea shanties alive and to share the joy and camaraderie of these songs with new generations.
Sea shanties were work songs, set to a rhythm for working, to reduce the monotony of undertaking repetitive tasks aboard ship. But they were also Foc’sle songs, which were storytelling verses to be listened to at leisure, to remind sailors of home and these helped to keep alive traditions and record local events and people.
