About Us

Now embarking on our tenth year we have performed at Mevagissey, Harwich, Cutty Sark, Port Isaac, Leigh on Sea and Brancaster Shanty Festivals; Minak, Cromer and Maddermarket Theatres, and many churches.

Whilst initially our songs were sea shanties with a definitive working rhythm to encourage sailors to haul stack and store we have developed to include songs of the sea.  John Masefield’s haunting Sea Fever, beautifully arranged by guitarists Ian and Adam tugs at the heartstrings, melodies by The McCalmans describe the tough side of the fishing industry, Gordon Lightfoot’s A Passing Ship is a firm favourite and his unexplainable Triangle always raises a laugh.

These songs put the Crew apart from traditional shanty bands.  Basically an evening with the Crew is full of unexpected lyrics and melodies which give us the edge and lead to so many lovely reviews like:

“I never realised sea shanties were so much fun.” ~ Iain Allsop, Happisburgh
