Rogue Shanty Buoys

The Rogue Shanty Buoys are a professional Sea Shanties folk group singing Sea Shanties and modern “shantyfied” covers.

The group are based (and home-brewed) in rural Suffolk singing Sea Shanties with an unmistakably bold and original sound and an emphasis on strong vocals, tight harmonies and unfussy arrangements. Giving fun and energetic performances with a fresh and dynamic approach to folk music has seen them described as “A slightly salty Mumford & Sons”.

With a hugely diverse repertoire, ranging from the Middle Ages to the present day, The Rogue Shanty Buoys are as at home singing rousing traditional sea shanties such as ‘The Wellerman’, ‘Drunken Sailor’ and many more, whaling arias and tunes of ne’er-do-wells, as they are covering contemporary songs and ’90s classics by the likes of The Spice Girls, Bruno Mars, Britney Spears and others, performed with their own unique “shanty” twist.
