Sailor Swift

Sailor Swift

Pete Morton presents an unruly mix of storytelling, comedy and song

Sailor Swift returns to OSA for another wonderfully unpredictable journey through 400 years of song, history and laughter.

Created and performed by acclaimed folk singer and songwriter Pete Morton, Sailor Swift follows the friendly ghost of a shipwrecked 17th-century sailor who has remained in an old harbour tavern through the centuries.

Travelling backwards and forwards through time, he encounters famous and infamous characters, watches the world change and brings his stories to life through comedy, poetry, audience participation and songs from across the generations.

Expect a joyful mixture of music hall, folk club, stand-up comedy and communal singalong, delivered by one performer, one guitar and an extraordinary command of the audience.
