Black Deep Shanty Crew

Surely that’s the Naze Shanty Crew I hear you cry! But no, rising Phoenix like, from the ashes of a global pandemic, the Naze Shanty Crew with a slimmed down line up and no longer any connections to the town of Walton-on-the-Naze, have regrouped as The Black Deep. Shanties and sea songs are still very much what they are about and the group will be singing at several maritime events and festivals this year. Harwich however remains their favourite.

Black Deep Shanty Crew have been singing shanties together for over 25 years, but the current line up and new name reflects some of the many changes that the Covid pandemic brought about. Based in Harwich, Essex we travel extensively to sing our shanties.
