Gala Concert – Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival
The Gala Concert is a special one-off seated event held at the Princess Pavilion on the Friday evening of the Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival. You can expect fantastic performances from some of your favourite shanty groups on Friday 13th June 2025.
This year, the festival are delighted to welcome the following groups to the stage:
ACapella Moonshine – Seasoned performers; delighting audiences with their haunting harmonies, sense of fun, and rollicking rhythms. They tell stories of the sea and the lives of those who draw their living from it in a unique way, with lots of laughter and audience participation.
Nordet – For more than 35 years Nordet has been performing traditional sea shanties and its own creations. The crew knows how to make people dance and sing in a festive spirit. Nordet have sailed from Lorient, their home port, to New York; from Paimpol to Liverpool and from Hoorn to Douarnenez.
Sloop Groggy Dogs – Sloop Groggy Dogs are Bedfordshite’s favourite lively Shanty Band. Audience involvement is their goal at every event. From 8 to 80 this group has a little something special to appeal to all.
Stuns’ls – Stuns’ls were formed in Mevagissey, Charlestown and Truro Cornish Pilot Gig rowing clubs and named from one of our earliest songs “Old Maui”. They strive to make chords ring and put a smile on spectators faces, whilst promoting Cornish harmonies and songs of the sea.
Lemonaires – A passionate and powerful male vocal group based in Mylor Bridge, Falmouth. Singing traditional Cornish folk and shanties, their rich harmonies and heartfelt delivery bring the county’s heritage to life.
