Hay Shantymen Biography
A rollicking bunch of land lubbers from the east coast of Wales.
Our roots might be on the banks of the river near Hay-on-Wye but the Hay Shantymen have travelled countrywide, singing traditional shanties and other foot-stomping seafaring songs in seaside pubs and at summer festivals. Among our recent highlights are The Hay Festival, both Falmouth and Bristol Shanty Festivals, and Latitude.
Hay Shantymen was founded in 2016 by Fiona Evans and continues under the expert musical leadership of Grant Olding.
We are united by strong friendships, a love of singing, the sea and good beer - not necessarily in that order.
If you have seen Hay Shantymen live, you will be aware that we take our fundraising very seriously. To date we have raised over £10,000 for our chosen charity the RNLI.
