Beach’d Buoys Shanty Band

The Beach’d Buoys are Weston-Super-Mare’s authentic shanty band.

Shanty bands sing sea-shanties; the work songs of seafarers and most of their songbook comes from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, although they do include some more modern songs.

They like the traditional call-and-response format, with one shantyman leading the chorus. But they are known for livening up the proceedings with guitars, concertinas, pranks, and their very own lagerphone!

All the proceeds from their appearances go to Children’s Hospice South-West at Wraxall in Somerset.
