Shadows in the Shade

Shadows in the Shade are Jed Stone and Des Tighe, names well known around the folk clubs and sessions of their Suffolk homeland, but have also travelled extensively to venues around the British Isles and further abroad. 

Both are founding members of XXLcior, a shanty crew put together to support the sail training trawler Excelsior, and in a past life both have sung with the shanty crew Capstan Full Strength. Both have performed often in the Netherlands, now and again in Poland and once in Norway. As solo performers, each has travelled extensively the shores and bars of their native England, also of Wales, Scotland and Ireland.

Both had appeared on albums with various bands over the years.
