The Steepholmers are a new men's sea shanty group that formed in Weston-super-Mare in early summer 2018, with a little help from a certain popular video game with a nautical theme (seriously). We meet every Wednesday at The New Inn in the village of Kewstoke, just outside Weston (7pm until 9pm if you would like to join us) and perform a range of popular sea shanties while always remaining keen on learning new ones to enhance our repertoire. Some of us like dressing up a bit - think tricorn hats and the 'Poldark' look you won't be too far off - and we are now just starting to perform in public. So, if you would like to join in, you will be most welcome. Or, if you would like us to perform somewhere, that would be great. Please contact us to discuss when and where and further arrangements.
​
Thanks and best wishes, The Steepholmers
