Overview
Now defunct, Holme & Dry was named so because the members all lived in and around the Holme Valley in West Yorkshire, and because they were possibly the most landlocked group of sea shanty singers in the country!
Formed in 2013, Holme & Dry consisted of male and female singers who mainly performed a cappella, with occasional appearances of guitars, concertinas, whistles and kazoos. They sang a rousing range of traditional and modern sea shanties and the odd song or two about drinking. We have performed at various pubs, clubs, halls and festivals, a shopping centre and even at an old sea dog’s funeral!
Holme & Dry are no longer singing together, but some of them have formed a new shanty group called ‘Ship to Shore.’
