Shanty Street
“Shanty Street” is our scratch name for a project to fill Molesworth St and the Saltbox in the middle of Wadebridge with music and dance throughout the day, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Organised more like a rally than a concert, we pull in talent from Wadebridge, Cornwall, the South West and beyond, from folk clubs and open mic sessions, from random encounters and friendships.
The musical mix will be eclectic — yes, there will be some outright folk, maybe some blues and bluegrass, but also country, jazz, pop and rock. Choirs and shanty groups, dance troupes, soloists and duos and bands, there should be something for everyone!
Shanty Street is a musical and dance pathway, not a straightjacket, not a pigeon-hole box. It will probably be chaotic. It will certainly be fun and lively!
Locations
We have the following Shanty Street locations:
- In conjunction with the Molesworth Arms and Dolly’s Cafe and Bar, there will be music playing outside the Molesworth Arms from noon to around 5pm each day.
- And from noon to around 4pm on the Saltbar, the upstairs, outside area at the SaltBox in Goldsworthy Way.
- For choirs, morris dancers and some shanty groups, be around Victoria Antiques in Molesworth St each day from noon until 4pm.
