A rollicking evening of chanteys, ballads and traditional dance music from the Great Lakes and The Seven Seas with Ian Bell with Pressgang Mutiny

Veteran Canadian folk musician Ian Bell joins forces with Toronto's young acapella chantey sextet Pressgang Mutiny, for a multi-media presentation of traditional chanteys, songs, jigs and reels that will take you from the Isles of the South Pacific to the shores of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie.

The show will feature powerful unaccompanied harmony singing with lots of opportunities to join in on choruses. Ian and the mutineers also pack a small arsenal of instruments ranging from concertinas, and button accordions to banjos, fiddles and mandolins, so there are bound to be a few jigs and hornpipes along the way! Their repertoire includes little known songs of Great Lakes sailors along with the very best of the salt-water chanteys all delivered with excitement and passion.

A special feature of the concert will be projections of Ian's large collection of vintage photographs of Great Lakes schooners, sailors and ports that are arranged to accompany the songs and instrumental selections.

Heave to and drop your anchor - It'll be a good evening!
