Lower Deckers Shanty Group

The Lower Deckers are a fun, contemporary shanty group who hail from the landlocked counties of Shropshire and Herefordshire.

Following their tentative first gig fundraising for the RNLI in 2017, they have gone from strength to strength, performing regularly at festivals, pubs and cafes. They’ve enjoyed Pirate workshops at primary schools and sung at the Hereford Fishermans Friends movie premier. They’ve  brightened Hereford’s River Carnival, entertained residential homes and even toured in Northumberland.Their other festival appearances include The Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival, Mevagissey, Teignmouth , Weston Super Mare, Bristol & Gloucester, Barry Island , Newport and  Port Issac.

They are keen charity fundraisers and regularly hold gigs to raise funds for the RNLI as well as local charities such as Shropshire’s Mayfair Centre, Herefordshire’s Home Start and several local food banks.

The Lower Deckers repertoire embraces traditional shanties, songs of the sea, folk songs and more.  With a few surprises along the way, they promise a good time will be had by all.  ⚓️⚓️
