About our sea shanty singers
The HogEye Men
With almost 20 years of experience as a group singing shanties and maritime songs to audiences around the country, including a monthly residency on Cutty Sark since 2019, The HogEye Men are respected as London's primary exponents of these unaccompanied working songs from a past age. The group blends strong voices and subtle harmonies to give audiences a taste of the true nature of the traditional shanty form, while also offering them a selection of more up-to-date tales of the sea.
Swinging the Lead
Swinging the Lead have been Cutty Sark's resident sea shanty singers since 2011. All have sea-going experience, including sailing on tall ships and a keen interest in the sea and maritime matters.
