About The Crew
The Hoy
Shanty Crew was formed several years ago, originally based on regular members of
The Hoy at Anchor Folk Club
and quickly became
an integral and popular part of the lively folk scene
in Essex.
THSC has performed at many events and festivals throughout the UK.
The Crew
has a well-earned reputation for gutsy and passionate rendering of shanties
as well as
other chorus songs, particularly if they involve the partaking of beer.
The crew features Tony Prior, Derek Oliver, Dave Symonds,
Allan Barttram, Ron Hill, Terry Docherty,
Richard Baxter, Steve Ramm, Mike
Reeves, Bill Pardon, Garry Walker, Peter Purnell & Tom Harding
but they are often joined by other local enthusiastic folk singers with a
passion for rousing renditions of traditional songs.
You can often catch members of
the crew singing at The Hoy at Anchor Folk Club
on a Tuesday evening at The Royal British Legion in Westcliff on Sea
or
rehearsing shanties in Old Leigh on a Saturday or Sunday
afternoon.
