Secret Shore Singers

The Secret Shore Singers began life following a Heritage Lottery Funded project, in partnership with the South Downs Society, about the heritage and songs of the South East Coast. This finished in 2017 and the Secret Shore Singers was formed to enable us to continue singing together, since when we have continued to add songs, harmonies and singers across Sussex.

For those who do not know us, we must point out that the Secret Shore Singers are not a formal choir but a joyful group who sing traditional shanties and sea songs unaccompanied, as they may well had been sung in the past on ships, inns and folk clubs.

In keeping with our own origins, the events we support are usually charitable, educational or community based causes, and as far as possible we try and theme our choice of songs to reflect the event.
