Elsinor Seamen's Clubs's  Shanty Choir

The Shanty Choir was established back in 1999, and performed for the very first time public at the Elsinore Seamen's Club's 125-years jubilee in 2000.

The Shanty Choir sings the good old seasongs, primarily Shanties (or Seashanties), from the time when the ships were made out of wood and seamen out of steel.

The Shanty Choir is a male voice choir, being accompanied of e.g. accordion, banjo, transverse flute, bass og concertina. The choir counts about 25 members.

Originator for the foundation of the choir was Jens V. Bloch, who presented the idea for some fellow members of the Club, who immediately joined the idea. Jens V. Bloch was leader of the choir during the first 5 years.
