Peter Arnold 24th April 14 12:00 pm | Just a quick note to thank you and the rest of boys for a cracking night last Wednesday, and I am sure it was obvious to you how much the audience appreciated it.... everybody went away very happy. I must say I was impressed by your professional presentation and attention to small details that really make you stand out as an act that can capture any sort of audience. It was a shame you couldn't hang up your backdrop, but that would have been just another bit of icing on an already well decorated cake! It goes without saying that the songs and the singing were magnificent. Have a great summer season, and keep in touch. Cheers,Peter (Jurassic Folk Club/East Devon Folk) |
Brigitte 24th April 14 3:02 pm | I was there (in Bath) and thought you were amazing. I wanted to hop in my car and head south west to the sea! |

Hein Anne & Sophie Botma 10th September 13 4:01 pm | We enjoyed your performance at Appingedam very much and are still enjoying your CD. At that festival you were one of a few that we considered to be a real shanty crew. The other groups were okay musically but the link with shanty was weak to absent. Hope to hear you again some time some place. |
Marjanne 3rd September 13 10:14 am | Hello There! You gave us a wonderful performance in Holland/Appingedam. We had a great time listening to your shanties. |

BISOUS from one of your French Fan from South of Brittany...Lily xoxo |
Jon Gale 17th August 13 11:49 am | Just back from 3 days at Paimpol Shanty Festival. Certainly the best 'pure' sea shanty group there. Fabulous songs, wonderful harmonies and excellent 'costume'. There were many good acts there but often over accompanied by instruments and too orchestrated and over arranged. You sang the work songs as they would have been sung on board. I really enjoyed singing "Blood Red Roses" with you. Made my day. Keep up the good work and I hope to see you all again soon. Best regards, Jon. |
Rob 7th August 13 1:43 pm | I loved the singing (at Wickham) and think you're an awesome act. |
Debbie Morannh 6th July 13 8:11 pm | I have just had the most tremendous fun watching the Exmouth Shanty Men at the Dartmouth Shanty Festival in the park then on the Kingswear Castle Paddle Steamer on its trip on the River Dart. What a brilliant afternoon! I love the singing, the outfits & the fun that everyone seems to be having. I am so glad I bought the CDs (Playing in the car as I write this). A very Big Thank You to all concerned for giving me a great start to my holiday in Devon. |
Bob Ford 18th June 13 2:06 pm | What can I say about the Exmouth Shanty Men? The 'original buoy band' lived up to their name with a performance on the Main Stage at this year's Wessex Folk Festival which was a combination of quite lovely singing and lashings of humour. If you like shanties go see the buoy band as it is well worth it. Bob. Organiser, Wessex Folk Festival |
izzy scott 26th May 13 5:27 pm | I so enjoyed your performance at the Exmouth Festival today, sung with great gusto and humour. Well done. Bring on next year's performance at the festival. |
Doreen Peach 3rd May 13 6:46 pm | The crew were excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed your performance at Plymouth Pavilions. The repertoire was varied and very well sung; and the costumes and props made for a very atmospheric night. |
Cath Pratley 4th April 13 1:13 pm | A big thank you to all of the motley crew that came ashore to entertain the wedding guests of my daughter Emily and her (now) husband, Mark. What a rip-roaring evening you gave us - it was unforgettable and all our guests heartily agreed. They talked long into the night about how much they'd enjoyed your marvellous singing and cheerful banter. For those of us that joined you in your stage antics - we loved it! Bring it on! Your performance was the icing on the wedding cake of a totally fantastic day. Thank you for everything. If anybody is wondering about booking these lads for an occasion, don't think about it any longer, just get 'em booked! They're brilliant. |
Emily & Mark Johnson 2nd April 13 8:09 pm | Just a quick note to thank you all so much for making our wedding at Reed Hall so memorable. The guests loved it and we thought you were brilliant as always. Look forward to seeing you in May! Best wishes, Emily & Mark |

Chris Sykes 14th October 12 10:32 pm | Hi guys, just to say how much we enjoyed meeting you in Banbury. You really made a little girl ( Brogan ) happy today when you sang All for me grog for her! Hope to get to see you again soon, you were great! Take care me 'armies! : ) x |
Emily Wood 4th September 12 4:01 pm | The finest shanty men in the west! Loved watching you perform on BBC Radio Devon and hope to catch you out and about sometime soon! |
Henry Herbert 31st August 12 2:01 pm | I was a little bit concerned when I first arrived that the shanty men were going to be like morris dancers but it turned out that they were much, much more fun. We had a fantastic day! Thank you guys, from Tom and me. The Fabulous Baker Brothers |
Jennifer Stone 6th August 12 9:44 am | Was down in Sidmouth last night. Brilliant set, loved the bits of history and comical crew names!! Great sing'a'long atmosphere!! Thank you xx (Your Newest Fan!) |

Elizabeth Colley 9th June 12 12:03 pm | I think you're absolutely fantastic. Your voices are brilliant and you don't cover up by using instruments. You sing and you act the part! |
Fred 8th June 12 8:45 am | It's different to the way we do it but it's nice to see another way of singing shanties and, as we saw, we can sing together. Different sound. We enjoyed your singing and your performance. Fred of Armstrong's Patent |

Lily JéGo-Chotard 16th August 11 10:48 am | Such a great show in PAIMPOL FESTIVAL DU CHANT MARIN! We had lots of fun ... you are FANTASTIC! I'm glad you were on the front page of OUEST FRANCE newspaper ... UN GRAND BRAVO! Hope to see you again soon in France or maybe in England? M E R C I Lily |
Patrick Hennessey (Hookes and Crookes) 8th August 11 9:32 am | It was great to have the Exmouth boys singing in our old city and from the rave reviews I have been getting about you it wont be the last. Best of luck on the other side of the Channel. Pat |
Catharina Buijs Van Meurs 11th July 11 6:46 pm | Hi guys, great to meet you (in Waterford). We all loved your performance with the chains! Hope to meet you soon again! xx |
Russ Morris 10th July 11 10:14 am | Heard you were going to be on Judi Spiers on Radio Devon next week. My wife and I, and our friends, are particularly fond of you lot. We've seen you several times and really enjoyed seeing you at Falmouth again this year. Enjoy the rest of it! Russ (former submarine person) |
Val Canton 9th July 11 10:32 am | Really enjoyed your performance at the shanty party in the Wander Inn, Waterford. Looking forward to meeting you again at Burnham-on-Sea Folk Festival in September. |
Stephen O'Flaherty 8th July 11 5:12 pm | Great fun listening to ye in Waterford! |
Walt De-Planc 6th July 11 1:56 pm | Saw you all at Falmouth Shanty weekend. A really enjoyable session (that included the Ale). Trust you enjoy the rest of the season and look forward to seeing you again soon. Perhaps you can get up to Kent sometime. |
Terry Rogers 5th July 11 4:49 pm | Hi Lads. Thoroughly enjoyed meeting up with you at Waterford and singing with you at Uluru and the Wander Inn. Come back to Ireland soon so that we can see you all again. See you on a poopdeck somewhere. Terry |
Sandy Bank 19th June 11 7:00 pm | Was absolutely delighted to have caught up with you saucy salty seadogs again at the Falmouth Shanty Festival and thoroughly enjoyed your performances. Not at all surprised to find you in the most prestigious slot at the Theatre. What a super-slick show! Always found your crew fantastic entertainment but was blown away by how you've developed into true "consummate professionals". Never mind a pint of Betty Stogs - I'd sail the world and back again for just an encore! PS Love the new CD. Well done lads (and lassie)! |
Dave Earl 2nd June 11 5:54 pm | Great Stuff. Keep it up boys - take that whichever way you prefer. See you somewhere at a festival (can't make Falmouth or Warwick) so Sidmouth perhaps. Dave (Middle Bar) |
Joan 29th March 11 8:47 am | Thank you once again for a lovely evening and for all the work you put into it. Everyone went home with great smiles on their faces which is nice to see in these difficult days. Someone was heard to say that Bridestowe had never had anything like that before. |
Jaime Killoran 24th March 11 10:40 am | Nice website! |
Peter 17th February 11 8:27 pm | Hi buoys. I seen you sing at Scoriton on Saturday 12th. I have to say I really enjoyed the evening and I look forward to seeing you all again at another port in the near future. I'll also be buying the CD. |
Greg 29th November 10 10:42 am | Thought you were great. The only singers (at Clovelly) who didn't use mikes, yet your singing reverberated all around the harbour :-) |
Sandy Bank 25th September 10 9:45 am | Love your super stage show; and the witty website. You certainly float my boat! |
John 5th September 10 6:39 pm | Received the CD in the post safe and sound. What a 'fantastic listen'. Congratulations. |
Shirley 4th September 10 9:57 am | Great music and great fun. See The Exmouth Shanty Men and get your swashbuckled! |
Joy Whipps 3rd September 10 11:46 am | I've just listened to the Judi Spiers show on Radio Devon and I want to send my congratulations to all the Shanty Men who appeared on her show. It was absolutely fantastic! I really enjoyed listening to you all and the songs you sang live came over brilliantly. You put Exmouth on the map in a bigger way than we as a Town Council could ever do. Thank you very much. |
Miss D. Meaner 9th August 10 5:08 pm | I came to your gig at The Bicton and loved it. If I could travel back in time I'd definitely stow away on the Malarkey. You can shiver my timbers any time! |
Iain Jones 3rd August 10 12:21 pm | I know from the feedback that Weymouth thoroughly enjoyed your performance. Many thanks and hopefully see you again. |
Peter and Sheila 2nd July 10 7:55 pm | Having very recently come back from Falmouth after attending the Falmouth Shout for the 3 days and singing myself hoarse, I returned to Brighton singing sea shanties. I went to the local plumbers for some bits. The two blokes in there at the time were discussing a job they were doing and one said to the other: "What colour paint is it going to be, red or blue?" I couldnt help myself and said "Maroon". They both looked at me as though I was mad. I had to explain about the ship with the red paint and the Malarkey with the blue. They didnt understand. Anyway I was happy with the explaination. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and are still singing now. Terrific stuff. Keep it up and we'll see you again sometime soon. Bye Bye, Bye Bye, Bye Bye, Bye Bye - Bye Bye My Roseanna. |
C. Weed 3rd June 10 7:02 pm | You guys are fantastic! I love the way you don't take yourselves too seriously and yet create a seriously classy show. Don't sail away too far or too often! |
Suki Commin 21st April 10 2:54 pm | Thank you. On behalf of the Lympstone Village Hall Management Committee, may I thank the Shantymen for organising your concert in aid of Village Hall funds. This was indeed a memorable evening and we're delighted that you raised £740 in total towards our appeal. |
Liz Berth 25th March 10 11:40 pm | Who'd have thought it wold be your site at the top of the Google list when I searched for Pump / Dry / hell. Well done lads ;-) |
Brian 13th March 10 5:09 pm | Have a look at this talented and dedicated group of folk singers. They are very good and their prime aim (apart from the enjoyment and booze!) is to raise money for charity. I think they have raised £40,000 plus so far. They also have aspirations of being the best singers of shanties in the UK and they are probably well on their way in this respect. |
Andy 10th December 09 10:29 pm | Hi Crew was lucky enough to see you perform in my home town of Harwich,what a great performance hope to see you again sometime regards Andy |
