About Your Entertainers
Why not get in on the first viral craze of 2021 - SEA SHANTIES! With a personalised sea shanty just for your event!
The group take their cue from the likes of The Fisherman’s Friends and The Sheringham Shantymen, giving performances which are an authentic mix of traditional 19th century pub singaround, medicine show huckster and fresh and dynamic approach to folk music that has seen them described as “A slightly salty Mumford & Sons”.
With a hugely diverse repertoire, ranging from the Middle Ages to the present day, they are as at home singing rousing traditional sea shanties, whaling arias, smuggling and wrecking refrains, murder ballads and tunes of ne’er-do-wells as well as acoustic covers of contemporary songs and ’90s bangers by the likes of Vanilla Ice, S Club 7, The Spice Girls, Bruno Mars, Britney Spears and others performed with their own unique “shanty” twist.
