The Port Isaac Gulls

The Port Isaac Gulls, sometimes referred-to as just “Gulls,” sing Cornish songs tradition shanties and songs of the sea with a bit of a female slant and even  a joke or two!

Three of the Gulls make up three-quarters of the Port Isaac Shanty Festival organising group.

They are made up of a group of best friends who have been singing, laughing, performing, talking, eating cake and drinking the odd glass (or two!) of wine for over ten years. They mostly sing in and around Cornwall featuring an eclectic repertoire from the 40s onwards with the emphasis on harmony and entertainment and they like to take classics from different genres and give them our own magic Gulls touch.

In this strong male genre they like to say a word (or two!) for the gals in the “days of yore”, left behind whilst their men sailed the high seas, who they like to think used to get together to talk, eat cake, drink wine and sing a bit!
