Beach’d Buoys, The

The Beach’d Buoys were reformed several time from jetsam and flotsam found lurking in and around the side alleys and darkest recesses of the Weston-super-Mare Area.

Our main aim is to raise money for the Wraxall Childrens Hospice, and to enjoy ourselves in our twilight years. Many of us have been performing for a number of years, some with other bands.

Think of us as the Travelling Wilbury’s of the Shanty scene!

The Beach’d Buoys, Weston-super-Mare’s acclaimed Shanty Band has been entertaining Somerset and South West audiences since 2018.  We have no connection with the similarly named group, as we are cheaper and younger (in most cases). The ‘Crew’ originally come from varies parts of the country such as the North West, Black country, Birmingham, London and the South East and met by pure chance in a pub in Kewstoke. Two of the ‘crew’ appeared in the film, Fishermen Friends 2 as ‘extras’ (released in 2022) – We do not charge for the gigs as we rely on the generosity of our audiences. All donations and proceeds go to the Wraxall Children’s Hospice in Somerset
