Port of Bristol Shanty Crew Arvostelua 

The Port of Bristol Shanty Crew are the kings of mirth and merriment who are pure entertainers and the stars of every show that they appear at, definitely not to be missed!

An amazing group of talented lads who kept the West Pennard audience entertained and engaged with their songs and humour. They adapted to fit people of all ages with their interactive way to involve everyone. Loved the afternoon and all for a great cause.

Really good fun group and the deck boy really made the evening - his timing was immaculate. We’ve been singing I’m a Pirate, a pirate to each other since! 🤣

I have had the pleasure of watching The Port of Bristol Shanty Crew several times across Bristol, and they are a pure joy to watch & listen to!

They bring the fun, showmanship, silliness & love of shanties to every fantastic performance.

They perform out of the kindness of their hearts for Teenage Cancer Trust & many other charities. An amazing band to support for so many reasons!

Thornbury Sailing Club would like to say a huge thank you to POBSC for an excellent evening of entertainment, all while helping to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
From start to finish, the performance was full of energy, humour and enthusiasm, with maximum audience participation throughout. It was exactly the sort of evening that brings people together — plenty of singing, laughter and a great club atmosphere.
The feedback from members has been fantastic, and it was clear from the volume of audience involvement that everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
A brilliant evening, very well delivered, and made even better by supporting such a worthwhile cause. We would be delighted to welcome POBSC back to TSC again in the future.

What an amazing group of guys! Superb voices, amazing fun, and full of cheer and laughter, they are truly determined to raise money for excellent causes. A real inspiration to so many.
This incredible group of singers came together for the Pride of Britain collaboration concert in December, where they opened the evening — and they were truly out of this world. Their happiness and laughter are completely infectious, and their ability to engage with the audience is second to none.
They sing as one voice, with such humility, kindness, and genuine warmth. A truly special group of men, and an experience we wish we could relive again and again.

POB Shanty Crew are FANTASTIC! They are all such lovely people that bring a fabulous positive energy to every room they sing in. They sung for our Bristol Old Vic Treasure Island Press night and it was amazing. Everyone was really enjoying their performance; they were so captivating and spread so much joy. We loved having them and I would recommend them to anyone! They are kind, doing this for a fantastic cause, amazing singers, fantastic shanties and all-round fabulous performers/people.

Very entertaining, great atmosphere. Very engaging with the audience.

An absolutely fantastic evening, thoroughly enjoyed by all!!

I really enjoyed the music from port of bristol shanty crew

Terrific evening and wonderful, generous crew. Village will be talking about them for months to come.

We had a great time listening to the Port of Bristol Shanty Crew. Great songs, sung with gusto and a good dose of humour. They seemed to enjoy themselves just as much as the audience.

5th of July 2025 my 75th birthday at The Golden Lion Wrington.
A sensational afternoon entertained by the incomparable Port of Bristol Shanty Crew. Fabulous joyful, at times comical entertainment.
Perfect for young and old family music and lots of fun.
Highly recommend.

Such a wonderful cause, such a grand group of entertainers. A must see and support. Keep up the great work.

These boy's can hold a note. Very enjoyable songs all performed with good humour and banter. 10 out of 10..

Well, where do we start?! After hearing the Port of Bristol Shanty Crew in the hospitals last year, we really wanted them to come and perform at our Big Bristol Walk and we feel so very lucky that they were both available and willing to be there and support our cause.

Not only are they amazing musicians whose passion for performing is clear to see, but they're a lovely bunch of people who exude such warmth and positivity. They supported us with some electrical problems on the day, kept us laughing with stories (how does someone eat so many hot chillies!?) and warmed the crowd beyond belief. We had lots of positive comments around their performance - people who weren't even taking part in our event, but came to listen to them perform and went on to support us. Thank you to the Shanty crew and we do hope to have you at something else in the future :)

We had the absolute pleasure of working with the Bristol Sea Shanty Group for a recent networking event, and they were fantastic from start to finish! Their performance brought incredible energy to the room and created a truly memorable experience—our attendees loved it.

Their crowd interaction was spot-on, and they were incredibly flexible and easy to work with, making adjustments as needed without missing a beat.

Also love their commitment to raising funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust. It’s a wonderful cause, and their dedication to supporting it through their music is inspiring.

We’d definitely work with them again and highly recommend them for any event looking for something unique and energetic.

Loved the personality of the lads coming through, great music from a crew who obviously enjoy singing shanties and performing together. Thanks all!

Hi crew mates
What a FAB weekend at the Freemasons hall here in Bristol.
The real ale and CIDER went down very well, guess my preference.
All the crew mates gave excellent renditions of the songs in your group and the others groups both local and from far flung distances.
It was a great pleasure to talk with you individually about many things of the sea and other issues of the day.
Looking forward to catching up with you sooner rather than later.
I am sure you raised a lot of money Teenage Cancer Trust and RNLI.
Anyone loving Shanties, this is a group to follow
I enjoyed singing along

Last evening the Shanties played for us at our retirement village in Sandford. We put on a fish & chip supper for everyone and then we had the most entertaining evening ever- song stories and laughter. What a brilliant way to spend an evening. The crew worked hard and we were delighted To be able to support your charity Teenage Cancer Trust with somewhere north of £500. I love a performance with purpose
