Folk'N'Shanty Night with Gabrielle D'Arc and the Salty Sirens

Visit Banshees Bar and Artspace for a night of sea shanties and dark folk with The Salty Sirens and Gabrielle D'Arc.

Gabrielle D'Arc is a rising Bat Prince of folk.

Hailing from Kabi Kabi country, the strange raconteur is an old soul watching this new world spin. Her introspective lyrics will draw you in as the songbird's melodies are crowed with hints of folk, rock, Celtic, and blues.

Painting vignettes of feminine wrath or other such 'unseemly' emotions; her music is coloured by her love of mythology, poetry, and theatre.

Telling tales of life, death and all things in between.

Lovers of swell sea shanties and rollicking singalongs, The Salty Sirens are Kristy "Capstan"field (vocals and accordion) and Elyse "Fish"patrick (vocals and whale facts). Since 2021, they have been rocking 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!
