ollicking tunes from the sea rang through the halls at Clarence Estate when The Albany Shantymen paid a recent visit, reported Wayne Harrington, editor of Southerly Magazine. Grizz, Barry, Alby and Roger generously agreed to an impromptu performance at Clarence, putting on a great show for the Friday Sundowner crowd. The foursome are part of the popular 14-strong Albany Shantymen who shot to a level of international notoriety when UK performer Nathan Evans credited the Albany group for inspiring his recent YouTube hit, “The Wellerman”. At last count, the Evan’s version of the sea shanty had racked up an incredible 40 million views. The Albany Shantymen used their Clarence Estate appearance as a warm-up
for their appearance at Optus Stadium before and during the Round 21 clash between the Fremantle Dockers and Brisbane Lions. Clarence Estate staff and residents are very appreciative of the many volunteer performers who generously give their time to entertain our residents.
