SUMMARY:Pub and chantey sing
DESCRIPTION:This is a Steampunk “Extra Hours” Event. \nJoin the singers of “A Jug of Songs” for an evening of social singing! What could be more Victorian than sitting in a pub\, drinking beer by the tankard\, and belting out 19th-century drinking and music hall songs? You don’t need to know the songs\, but you’ll probably pick up on them quickly. A parade of singers will leave the Gazebo on Waltham Common when the main festival ends\, to arrive at “In a Pickle” at 265 Moody Street around 4:15 p.m.
