"The Exmouth Shanty Men gave a performance at Bridestowe village hall in aid of church funds.  (They) arrived on complete with a collection of props and special lighting to give the Hall and stage a nautical feel and costumes to echo the Nelson period. Tickets had sold out ten days before the event and the hall was filled to capacity by an audience, some of whom had travelled from as far afield as Bristol and Camborne. The performance was professional and entertaining, with songs sometimes rumbustious and sometimes quiet and reflective, interspersed with introductions laced with humour and ad-libs. The rapport between ‘the crew’ and the audience was full of fun."    Okehampton Times
