Welcome to the Selsey Shantymen!

WE ARE THE SELSEY SHANTYMEN AND WE HOPE WE FIND YOU WELL!

What a year we’re having!

We recently returned from our second trip to Oostende at Anchor; a major maritime festival in Belgium where over 200,000 people visited the event. We sang at two venues each day of the festival, and there may have been some more songs sung over a beer or two as well.

Our calendar page lists all the public events we are attending this year, and we are also booked to sing at a number of private functions. If you have something happening and would like to have us make an appearance please get in touch.

Our first album is available on CD and as a download from all major streaming services: search for ‘Selsey Shantymen’. CDs will be available to purchase for £10 at all of our live gigs this year.

Once again this year we are raising funds for Selsey RNLI and Selsey First Responders, along with St Wilfrid’s Hospice, The Mayor of Chichester’s Charities and probably a couple of special cases along the way. We are happy to support other good causes if we can, so if you are associated with a charity – particularly if it’s local to Selsey and the surrounding area – and would like it to be considered for our noisy support please get in touch. For any queries or if you would like us to attend your meeting, function or gathering of any kind and sing a few shouty songs then go to our ‘Contact Us‘ page and shout AHOY!

Latest news from the Selsey Shantymen

The Selsey Shantymen were brought together in 2018 by Selsey local John Bradley (Sloop), without whom the rousing sounds of sea shanties would not be heard in Selsey. Although not actively singing with the group now, John remains our honorary vice president.
