- £10.00 at Ropetackle Arts CentreLiz Overs sings traditional and modern folk songs inspired by local stories, legends and places.

The Duck Pond Sailors part of this evening’s show will revel in boisterous Sussex songs including rebel songs from the English Civil War onwards. Audience participation may be encouraged!
They have a wide repertoire of Sussex songs of the sea and other folk music. They say “We often sing them whilst drinking in local ale houses and have no aim other than singing well and drinking better. We are based on the South Coast of England where the sun shines and the beards hang low.” In 2023 they released a new album “Urban Navigators.”
