The Salty Sirens Present: Day of Embers

Roll on down to Banshees Bar for a night of sea shanties and magical folk roots with Day of Embers and The Salty Sirens.

Lovers of swell sea shanties and rollicking singalongs, The Salty Sirens are Kristy Capstanfield (vocals and accordion) and Elyse Fishpatrick (vocals and whale facts). Throughout 2024, they rocked boats the country wide with their flavour of sea shanties, SHE shanties and sea songs with a modern, queer twist, and now these sapphic sailors are sailing into Ipswich to lead you on a musical journey through traditional and modern nautical folk song, tales of shipwork, daring adventure, defiance and debauchery on the high seas. Hoist the anchor and limber up those sealegs - these really aren't your grandpa's sea shanties!

The Salty Sirens are proud to present their musical mateys from the Sunny Coast, Day of Embers.
Born of love, myth and traditional folklore, Day of Embers is a duo of Celtic and global seafaring rhythms interlaced with age-old family tales of love, survival and justice. Combining the multi-instrumental talents of singer-songwriters, Welshman Daryl James, and Dawn, a bewitching vocalist of Canadian, Irish and Indian descent, Day of Embers weaves spectacular harmonies with banjo, mandolin, slide guitar, autoharp and accordion.

Sea ye there!
