Although close neighbours, this is the <b><i><span style='color:red'>Shifties</span></i></b><i>’</i> first tour to the Island. They have performed their traditional shanty and other seafaring music as far afield as Eastern Europe and Hawaii. Visit their website (</span><b><span style='color:red'><a href="http://www.shiftysailors.net"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:red'>www.shiftysailors.net</span></a></span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>) for a musical taste! Performing on the pier at the Cowichan Bay Maritime Centre on <b>Saturday, September 12 at 7 p.m.</b>, guests will enjoy songs and shanties from their six CD’s, also for sale at the concert. One of only four Canadian appearances this year, their Vancouver Island tour will kick-off in Cowichan Bay. Your support for this fundraiser is greatly appreciated. Advance tickets are $18 ($15 for members) or $20 at the door, and are available by calling 250.746.4955 or emailing </span><a href="mailto:cwbs@classicboats.org"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>cwbs@classicboats.org</span></a>. <span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Entry includes nautical appetizers with drinks available.
