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 & humerous.
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 and theatres in Cornwall, Devon
& many other regions of the United Kingdom.
Many festival-goers will also have seen us busking,
running pub sing-arounds & performance workshops
as well as in concert at festivals both far & wide.
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.
