A Sailor's Life: Songs and Stories with Nick Turner

(For adults)

Nick Turner sailed as deckhand and ship's musician on the square rigger Soren Larsen across the Atlantic, around Europe, and the Western Pacific. He spent fifty days at sea on Bark Europa sailing to Antarctica via South Georgia and Cape Horn. Nick also sailed the Azores to Amsterdam as part of Sail Amsterdam, the biggest gathering of square riggers in the world. 

This presentation is a mixture of songs and stories that capture the adventure, fun, drama and romance of living and working on board a real-life pirate ship. Plenty of opportunity to sing along!

NIck Turner's memoir Singin' Your Subway Blues will be available for purchase on the night.

Bookings are essential for this free event via Humanitix. Light refreshments will be available. You are encouraged to bring your own cup for tea/coffee or water.

Please let us know if you have any access requirements.

About Nick Turner: Nick lives in Fremantle where he continues to write, record and perform music at local venues and music festivals, and sail.
