Black Deep Shanty crew are based in the historic maritime town of Harwich, Essex and named after one of the deep sea channels just off the coast. The crew’s own Harwich International Shanty Festival will take place this year between the 9th and 11th October 2026.

Named after one of the deep sea channels off the coast of Harwich, Black Deep have been performing since 2021 and all eight members current of the crew boast years of singing and musical experience which they now bring together to celebrate shanties and songs of the sea – and their home town of Harwich.
