Hay Shantymen

A rollicking bunch of landlubbers from the east coast of Wales!

Their roots might be on the banks of the river near Hay-on-Wye, but the Hay Shantymen travel countrywide, singing traditional shanties and other foot-stomping seafaring songs in seaside pubs and at summer festivals. Among their recent highlights are Hay Festival, Falmouth and Bristol Shanty Festivals, and Latitude. 

Founded in 2016 by Fiona Evans and continues under the expert musical leadership of Grant Olding. They are united by strong friendships, a love of singing, the sea and good beer - not necessarily in that order!
