Ahoy! We are the City Shanty Band an 11-member shanty band described by the Daily Mail as a “hackney-based a cappella group” which is wrong because we’ve got an accordion and a drum – silly fascists. We sing a mix of original compositions and traditional sea shanties with an urban twist. Jesus! Urban twist is a horrible way of describing anything. Basically, we change the lyrics a bit to make them relevant and shit, yeah?
