Allround Men choir The Flagellanten
The Flagellanten is an enthousiastic
group of men who have specialised in singing
Irish Folk, Dialect and Sea
songs and Shanties
Our shanties (work-songs)
are performed in the original a-cappella style led by a
“shantyman”. We also perform “forebitters” and other
types of sea songs which the sailors may have sung in
their spare time.
The songs sung by de Flagellanten come from the
glorydays of Sailing. They were sung on board of the
Clippers, Whalers and Packet-ships, etc.
Every side of sailing has it’s own specific songs.
Through research and much correspondence at home and
abroad,
de Flagellanten has been able to produce a fairly
authentic picture of the sailorman from the last
century. Our homeport is Dutch Venice, Giethoorn. We
rehearse every Teusdaynight at 20.00 in de the famous
Eatcafe Fanfare in Giethoorn. 17 years yong and 850
performings.
