Overview
From the Naval town of Portsmouth, Spinnaker Shanty sing traditional and original sea songs and shanties with harmony and humour.
Spinnaker Shanty was initially formed in 2017 to help out at an event on board The Victory in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. From that day the group has continued to perform at many events. They enjoy singing shanties and sea songs to all kinds of audiences, from folk clubs to shanty festivals and have a regular monthly spot at the 4 Ale Taproom in Gosport.
Their current line-up has existed since 2023. They regularly perform at pubs and clubs as well as at festivals. They also run shanty workshops and give private performances.
