East Cowes Shanty are a lively community singing group, united by a love of sea shanties, maritime songs and a good old-fashioned singalong. Since their formation in 2023, they have developed an ever-growing repertoire of traditional favourites alongside newer shanties, and continue to grow in confidence and experience.

Community focused, East Cowes Shanty love bringing people together through music and performing at local events, pubs and community gatherings. Any money raised from their gigs is donated to nominated charities.
