Overview
The Jolly Grogsters are a musical group known for their spirited performances of traditional and original folk songs, particularly in the maritime music genre.
They are Bristol’s answer to all things shanty/folk with a twist of pirate. They can rival any shanty band with their watery tales and drinking tunes. If you want to dance and sing along this is the band for you.
Despite being formed far from the sea in their hometown of Oxford, they’ve made their mark with their fresh and innovative approach to these timeless tunes
Their repertoire includes the haunting “Mingulay Boat Song,” penned by Sir Hugh S. Roberton in the 1930s, which tells the tale of the islanders of Mingulay evacuating their homes in 1912.
