About Traditional Whaling Songs performed by folk musicians Pete Shepheard and Arthur Watson
To celebrate Scotland's Year of Stories 2022 and inspired by our Autumn exhibition 'Arctic Ventures: Forgotten Stories of Scottish Whaling', we are delighted to host an afternoon's performance of traditional whaling songs by well known folk musicians Pete Shepheard and Arthur Watson in our atmospheric Historic Boatyard.
Pete and Arthur bring together a wealth of song repertoire gleaned directly from the many traditional singers they have known, and unaccompanied song is at the heart of their enthusiasm. Both were members of the folk band Shepheard, Spiers and Watson for more than a decade and Arthur was also a member of the well respected Aberdeen based group The Gaugers and both have been involved in running the annual Fife Traditional Singing Festival.
Tickets for this relaxed and informal concert can be found here
