Hello!

I am new at listining to Shantie music, but I like it very much.

Also I like this message board very much:

The colours are hell and the letters are clear, I can read everything.

You have done all your very best, please keep up doing your good work, we shantie music lovers really need pages like this.


I have these 4 Shanty CDs:

The Wickford Express: "Away, You Shanty"

Hanging Johnny and The Rum and Shrub Shantymen: "Only One more Day"

Chants De Marins: "Sea Shanties: from Dublin to Auckland Vol 1, 1986"

Chants De Marins: "Sea Shanties: Vol 2, with Heather Mitchell, 1985"


My favorite songs are the tunes that are on the Wickford Express: "Away, You Shanty" CD.

The magnificant timbre from the men who sings the leading vocals in these two songs from the album:

"South Australia" , "Rosabella" is wunderfull.

As I heared the songs I felt like I am in a cabin on a stormy sailor :-)

The songs from The Wickford Express will turn your car into a tall ship, and your commute into a voyage to cross the Line.

My question is:

Can you give me some recommendations from Shantie CDs that are in the same style from the songs from The Wickford Express?

Your recommendations must not only be from The Wickford Express, it can come from all other Shanty choir groups you knwo, the main thing is only that the songs should be in the similarly style from the songs that The Wickford Express sings:

With "similarly style" I mean: similarly timbres or "feelings" in the voices or similarly choir voices

At amazon.com there is another CD from The Wickford Express:

"Fair Winds: Traditional Sea Songs & Chanteys"

But unfurtunally it is very expensive.

I wish you all further good and interesting discussions and:

"Keep on rolling" :-)

Friendly Greetings from

Moe Perry
