River Dogs Sea Shanties

​

The River Dogs hail from river communities from Milson’s Passage to Dangar Island. At a hidden riverside spot, these songkeepers revive the voices of boatmen and smugglers, singing songs of love and loss amongst the prawn heads and crab traps. Join in with rollicking sea shanties, river lore, and echoes of working boats and wild tales.​​

Tales from the Boatshed​

​

Reminiscences of the river, where actor-at-large Sophie Cook brings history to life with a wink and a wild tale. Ghost ships drift by, the Green Man Inn groans with apparitions, and whispers of smugglers and pirates float in the air. Dive into the deliciously dark stories from the shadows and secrets beneath the surface.
