Formed in 2007, the Exmouth Shanty Men are one of the longest established shanty crews in the south west. Famed for authentic and fun interpretations of shanties old and new, the Exmouth Shanty Men have performed all around Britain and Europe, including overseas festivals in France, Belgium, Germany, Poland and the Netherlands. The Exmouth Shanty Men have recorded six albums, are proud two-time winners of the Stan Hugill Trophy - awarded for the most authentic shanties at the annual international shanty festival in Krakow - and have appeared both on BBC television and BBC Radio 3

2025 was another great year for us, with numerous concerts and festivals all over the UK and wonderful trips to the Dinslaken Shanty Festival in Germany and to BLankenburg in Belgium. Now we are looking forward to 2026 - and one of the first places you can catch us is in HOLY TRINITY CHURCH EXMOUTH  on TUESDAY FEB 17TH where we will be guest performers at a CHARITY EVENT organised by GOOD AFTERNOON CHOIRS. See the poster below for further details and ticket information.
