Shötley Crüe (Shotley Crue)

Shotley Crue are a mixed, seven piece, shanty and sea song group that first tested the waters at the Harwich Festival back in 2014. Since that time they have greatly expanded their repertoire with a raft of entertaining sea songs, all suffused with their unique arrangements and harmonies. They are the resident, monthly group at Dulwich Folk Club held at the Lordship Pub in Lordship Lane, East Dulwich, London SE22.

They originally met through the Dulwich Folk Choir and formed a “pocket choir” to perform at the Harwich Sea Shanty Festival in 2014, taking their name from the local Suffolk Hamlet os Shotley.

Since then they have played at festivals, folk clubs and other venues around the country, singing characterful seasons and shanties and whatever else takes their fancy.

Not to be confused with the ice hockey team of the same name!
