The Silver Darlings are a 6-piece all-female sea shanty crew hailing from Southend-on-Sea in Essex. They sing shanties, songs of the sea and ditties nautical. They love the story-telling aspect to shanty-singing and are passionately committed to ensuring that these songs remain in the public domain and are not lost at sea!  This will be their second visit to the Seagull Theatre, but the girls are no strangers to East Anglia, having also previously performed at the First Light Festival, Harwich International Sea Shanty Festival, Felixstowe Shanty Cafe, and Latitude Festival, as well as a number of other folk and shanty festivals both in the UK and internationally
