Host

Hi, I'm Justin and it's great to have you on board.


Host

This is a new podcast launching in 2024 covering the great work of the singing group, the Port of Bristol Shanty Crew.


Host

Before we learn more about who the crew are and what they are up to, let's listen to some of their work.

Host

You have to admit they do sound great.


Host

So who are the Port of Bristol Shanty Crew?


Host

Well, they are a crew of mates who just love to sing traditional working shanties along with modern maritime songs and Bristol Si shanties.


Host

Their mantra is fun and friendship, melody and meth, and they sing anything with a nautical theme and a good tune or a good lyric.


Host

But their priority is just to enjoy themselves and to entertain their audience.


Host

And the good news is that everything they do, they give freely to support festivals and charity fundraising events.


Host

And 100% of the money that they raise goes back into the excellent work of the Teenage Cancer Trust.


Host

The crew was founded back in February 2022 and was found by Ian, also known as Nobby and Steve the Rev, who had been very keen to create A group.


Host

Nobby had been singing Shanti since 1972 and has been singing with the Rev since they met and became shipmates in 1985.


Host

These two rogues recently found themselves clearly very marooned, but they encountered a few more shipwrecked sailors washed upon the shore.


Host

These like minded souls were soon press ganged into service.


Host

And so Skipper, Fish, Art, Paddles, Chuffer, Doc, Old Bill and Ash joined the crew and they now form, as we now know it, the Port of Bristol Shanty Crew.


Host

So what is Shipshape and Bristol Fashion is a podcast.
