The Mizzen Crew is a Shanty Crew enjoying delivering maritime songs, stories and music. Our members come from Cumbria and Lancashire and we are always looking for those with a similar passion for telling the story of the lives of those who worked on the sea through the medium of shanties and song.
We have varied repertoire thanks to the contributions from each member of the crew who not only bring new ideas and material to our library but also are happy to lead the songs. We currently have 10 crew members which means we have been able to support most requests for performances.
We have performed at a variety of venues including Morecambe Promenade and Life boat station, Pubs, Lancaster Grand Theatre, Local Festivals, and Christmas Markets. No matter who you are, we are proud to support local charities and communities and we will adapt our repertoire to your needs.
