The Full Shanty

£ 10.00

Recorded live before a sell out crowd at their home-town's Blackmore Theatre during the Exmouth Festival, this third album conveys the energy, comedy, integrity and downright audacity of The Exmouth Shanty Men on stage. 16 strong traditional songs, plus a specially written bonus track, create another fine and varied collection of sea songs and shanties, sung as they would have been in the days of sail, with an intoxicating mixture of humour, heart, and heaving.

Many favourites and a few recent discoveries have been given the Exmouth treatment of unique, creative arrangements and settings. What the CD can never share is the powerful visual impact of the crew as they re-enact the deck chores and backbreaking tasks performed by the original sailors when these songs were on every tongue; but it was wisely felt that a DVD called The Full Shanty might scare the horses and cause vapours amongst the womenfolk, so a CD it is! The crew are still a delight to hear, having superb faces for radio and recording and they are indebted to Skinner's Brewery who funded the production costs to allow all profits to be donated to excellent charities around the world.

Rolling Home

£ 10.00

 This cracking debut CD performed and recorded live in 2007 gives a real taste of The Exmouth Shanty Men on stage. Unleashed before an excited, amazed and partially sober audience at the Manor Hotel in their home port of Exmouth, the crew display their banter, energy, humour and rumbustious characters for all to hear. Engineered and mastered by VCA Solutions, these 16 rollicking tracks are sung with passion, gusto and not a little tenderness, when required. Surprising, really!
