Overview
Riggerloftets Shantykor is a large shanty choir singing out of Tonsberg, reportedly the oldest town in Norway, where they have been singing English and Norwegian Shanties for many years.
They have travelled extensively and performed at many festivals at home and abroad.
Hooks and Crooks said of them in 2019: “We have met them on a number of occasions, here in Ireland and in Norway, and it was indeed our privilege to sail with them from Tonsberg to Llangesund (where we first met them) on the Berntine, an arctic sailing ship built in 1890. They sing a delightful set of sea songs, shanties and Norwegian songs.”
