The Crew

Folk Music and Sea Shanties

Formed in 2009, Island folk band The Crew produce a raw, rhythmic mixture of folk songs, sea shanties, morris tunes with a hint of rock n roll to get your toes tapping.

The Crew play mostly traditional instruments - recorder, accordions, mandolin, ukulele, acoustic six string, tenor and bass guitars, bird box and tea chest bass - while frontman Paul captains the band, commanding The Crew with his distinctive vocal take on well-known folk songs with the choral backing of his shipmates.

The Crew perform song/tune sets and ceilidh sets, or a mixture of both, and welcome audience participation.
