Jinks of Baldrick’s Plan

Jinks’ Initial folk interest began during the 60s revival period, attending Botallack Count House and Pipers club in West Cornwall. He moved on to male voice choir singing for a number of years, performing throughout the country, including London’s Albert Hall.

Later, Jinks became a founder member of Cornwall’s oldest shanty group Rum and Shrub Shantymen, performing in maritime festivals in the UK, Europe and latterly the USA. Together with Graham O’Callaghan and Mike Kessell Jinks formed Jink’s Stack, famed for its close harmonies and boisterous presentation, followed later by Hunter’s Moon.  Throughout the last 20 years Jinks also performed as Thorn and Roses with Sylvia Fletcher and Rowena Metters.
