SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Because of changes in the personal circumstances
of several of the members of the group,
after a great deal of thought & deliberation
we have decided to make this the last year
for the current line-up, having been together, with only minor personnel changes, for the last 18 years.

So if you want to see us, or book us for
your event, this year may be your last chance!
We will continue to take bookings to the end of 2010.
Our CDs will still be on sale & this site will still run.

Thank you for all your support!!

ABOUT US

We are a group of singers based in Plymouth, Devon
& East Cornwall who specialise in presenting Shanties
& Sea Songs from the great age of sail together with Contemporary Sea Songs, both serious & humorous.

We sing both with instruments & unaccompanied.
We positively encourage audience participation
& love to see audiences having a good time.

We have performed at Maritime Festivals, Music
& Arts Festivals at home & on the mainland of Europe
& in pubs, clubs & theatres in The West Country
& many other regions of the United Kingdom.

We have also represented Great Britain in events such as
the Amsterdam ‘Sail’ Festival, which was held to mark the
finish of the Tall Ships Race & at the Brest, Paimpol,
Douarnenez & Vegesack Maritime Festivals.

Many other Festivals both at home and abroad have also
seen us busking, running pub sing-arounds & workshops.
Some may have heard us singing in BBC TV South West’s
series ‘Three (Old) Men in a Boat’ & various other
broadcasts on both national & European radio & TV.

"Above all we want our audiences to enjoy themselves and have FUN!"

CLOVELLY HERRING FESTIVAL 2008

In 2000 we were the proud ‘runners-up’ in the prestigious
‘Stan Hugill Trophy’ which is contested by Shanty Crews
from across Europe & further afield.
Competition takes place at various Breton Maritime Festivals
& consists of singing whilst working at the rigging, capstan
or brake windlass, or at the pump as well as in concert.

In May '09 we became the proud winners of the
'Arr Factor' (Shanty Competition) trophy,
competed for at the Brixham Pirate & Shanty Festival
