Overview
Born in London but living in Sheffield, John Horsey’s early background was in choral and opera singing, before moving into folk and then mainly maritime music. As part of Monkey’s Fist, he has been singing sea songs and shanties for more than 25 years at maritime and folk festivals across the UK and Europe. Songs are accompanied by guitar and more unusually by the rich tones of a baritone McCann duet concertina.
