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



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 singarounds & 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!"




'Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil'
CLOVELLY HERRING FESTIVAL 2008

We are very pleased to announce that well known
local singer GIDEON BARRETT agreed to join us last year.
He features on the new CD, 'Visions Remain',
& he now joins us on most of our planned gigs.

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
