Roseland Festival 2025 – The Old Time Sailors!

Roseland Festival 2025

The Old Time Sailors!

Ahoy there!  You are invited to board the Sailorette and join the raggle taggle band of sea Gypsies for an adventure on the high seas: time travel, theatre, and roaring tunes!

An all-senses interactive experiential show that pulls out all the stops… find your sea legs, sing and dance along and join our trumpet led conga around the ship!

As a member of the crew you’ll chart a course for the 19th century, a period of intrepid nautical exploration, camaraderie and chaos; immersing yourself in an evening of traditional seafaring music, songs and shanties infused with Celtic Rock, punk and ska, among other surprises.  The Motley Crew and their plethora of traditional and eclectic instruments will take you back to the time of clashing tankards, and drunken debauchery.

Led by Captain Nicholas Moffatt, the ensemble of 20 brave musicians, multiple voices and over 30 traditional and modern instruments, play a repertoire of over 40 songs, the band play fully unplugged to ensure a dynamic and interactive experience.

Sing and dance along like a drunken sailor as the band perform centuries old folk and shanty songs.  Fancy dress is encouraged, so pull out your best seafaring garments me hearties and join the festivities.
