Them Bristow Girls

Them Bristow Girls are the first all-female North Bristol/South Gloucestershire based shanty crew.

We follow the steps of other well established all-female shanty crews from around the country, after starting in 2023.In a world mainly dominated by men we are a proud mix of women who share a love of singing traditional shanties, forebitters and all sorts of nautical themed songs – if it mentions water, we’ll take it – and want our voices to resonate far and wide. Our crew is comprised of healthcare workers, school workers, nhs consultant, charity workers, life-enjoyers (aka retired) and even a professional tall ship sailor
