Lytham St Annes Shanty Crew - 11th Anniversary Gig

All Ages
The Lytham St Annes Shanty Crew was formed in 2015 by a group of friends who wanted to sing a few sea shanties and raise money for local charities, primarily for the RNLI for whom they have raised over £35000. Since then, whilst the personnel may have changed, their repertoire has grown to include many self penned nautically themed songs as well traditional shanties which have been recorded on their 3 CDs to date, “Northern Shoal”, “Sea Salt” and the recently re - issued “Kilgrimol Bells”.
As well as performing locally ( including every Monday night from May to August out of the St Annes RNLI boathouse or Mussel Tank at Lytham ), they have sung as far a field as St Ives, Cornwall, Llandudno, Castle Howard and Hull. They have also sung in front of an audience of 4000 people at Lytham Hall on the same bill as Jools Holland and taken part in the regional Kensington Palace Christmas concert in 2024 at Blackpool Tower.
In 2026 they have written a song “ Four Shouts in One Day” commissioned by the RNLI as part of their Heritage project commemorating and celebrating its contribution in World War Two.
