Mayoral music helps Chichester District Foodbank

April 11 saw the Major of Chichester, Sarah Quail welcome music fans to support the Chichester District Foodbank, the Major's charity of the year, who raise much needed funds to help feed local people struggling financially.

A night with the Selsey Shantymen saw the popular, local group sell-out the Chichester Assembly Rooms for the third time in a year, as the lively concert enthralled a warm and welcoming crowd. 

The mix of time aged classics, newer shanties (under 200 years old) and home written songs of the sea brought a great array of nautical music.

Combined with hearty Fish and Chip supper to maintain energy levels, the crowd were sent home happy, while helping others.
