We love a sea shanty; do you?
We were super lucky to have The Pett Slip Buoys using The Old Gym at Rye Creative Centre yesterday evening for a quick rehearsal and sound check, having recently been donated a sound system by SOS Entertainment.
The Pett Slip Buoys are a group of volunteer lifeboat crew from Pett Level Independent Rescue Boat who got together on a Monday evening to form a shanty group, with the hope that it would raise funds to support their work #SavingLivesAtSea.
The independent lifeboat station situated next to Pett Slip in Pett Level is a self-funded charity organisation, independent from the RNLI and Government agencies, and depend solely on local donations and sponsorships to stay afloat.
If you would like to know when and where The Pett Slip Buoys are performing next, please follow them on social media, and follow Pett Level Independent Rescue Boat to find out how you can help them, whether by volunteering or donating, and to learn about recent rescue operations.
Of course, if you would like to donate to the rescue service now, who are currently fundraising for a new rescue boat, please find a donation button at the bottom of this post.

Day Twelve of our Artist Spotlight 🎨
Sarah Seymour
Sarah has recently re-joined the centre, however has been a supporter for many years. We are incredibly lucky to have a few pieces of her work displayed in the Old Gym during the Exhibition.
Take a look below to find out more about this particular piece:
Endangered species Brooches.
In the 18th century, when intimate relationships were prescribed by ‘rules’, the eye brooch was a way to send a private token of love: a lavish declaration of passion. Depicting the senders eye, it deepened the clandestine relationship. Gold and gems around the miniature eye portrait, declaring a commitment; creating a meaningful as well as valuable piece, to be a treasured and cherished.
What do we now hold dear to us? Objects? Belongings? Lovers? Things of value? Or the natural world around us? These paintings symbolise the uniqueness of the diversity of life that we should be treasuring.
This series depicting the eyes of animals, endangered species or species under threat, is to highlight many that may be extinct in a generation. Incredible and important animals that we should have protected and appreciated, that may now be destined to be lost.
