Local band Shanneyganock and others will be taking to the Delta in downtown St. John’s on Thursday in support of Shallaway Youth Choir.

Shanties for Shallaway will feature a headliner performance by Shanneyganock as well as a variety of other local acts and the youth choir itself.

Kellie Walsh, artistic director at Shallaway, says it will be a jam-packed evening beyond music.

She says there will be something for everyone with raffles, auctions, and lots of food.

Walsh says the fundraiser is important for them to support their nearly 350 members who travel all over the province for numerous events.

She says they don’t receive any operational funding and rely on donations to keep their program thriving. Since the pandemic, Walsh says they’ve seen a record number of parents needing help, making this fundraiser especially important.

The event takes place on Thursday at 7:00 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online.
