The Watch are a four-man folk group from the Isle of Wight who sing traditional folk songs and sea shanties along with a few self-penned songs.

They’ve all spent more years than they would care to remember immersed in the world of folk music!! Sometimes singing unaccompanied and sometimes with accompaniment (Guitar, Concertina, Mandola, Dulcimer, Accordion, Recorder, Bodhran .)

Note: Not to be confused with the shanty group, “The Last Watch” or the prog rock band of the same name.

Band Members

Brian Reeves, Alan Garnett, Eric Johnson and John Bentley
