Welcome to the Home of Falmouth Shout
Falmouth Shout is, first and foremost, a group of
friends, about 20 of us.
Breaking news!!.......Our new CD is out now! This new
CD has been nominated the souvenir CD of the Funchal 500 Tall Ships
Regatta in Falmouth in September 2008. Visit our Shop

the following outlets; The Cornish Store (Arwenack Street, Falmouth),

We sing shanties and Cornish songs
partly because we love doing so, and also because we want to keep the
traditions of shanties and Cornish community songs alive and thriving.
At the same time, this gives us the opportunity to raise money for the
RNLI and other local causes. As of April 2008, we have
raised over £20,000 for the RNLI.
To this end, we can be hired for whatever occasion you like. For example,
we have performed at weddings, celebrations,
including of course, St Piran’s Day and Trafalgar
Day, festivals, and other events.
We founded and run the annual Falmouth Sea Shanty Festival
We have this thing about pirates and have been known to dress up (the boys do have a penchant for frilly frocks!). We also enjoy the occasional beverage of the alcoholic variety, purely for vocal lubrication of course! Our parrot (stuffed, but don't tell him that) is called Keelhaul and often accompanies us to gigs. Keelhaul has been complaining recently that his voice is not being heard, so we hope to add a new page just for Keelhaul soon.
