Cornwall and the Sea: An Evening with The Press Gang

Cornish folk group The Press Gang perform sea shanties and maritime songs in an evening celebrating Cornwall's seafaring heritage.

The Press Gang, a group of folk singers and musicians based around the St Austell Bay area, present an evening of foot-stomping shanties, melodic songs of the sea and songs of Cornwall. Known for reworking traditional shanties and folk songs into their own harmonious, energetic style, they mix Cornish tradition with raucous entertainment. The group have been performing maritime and Cornish heritage material for over a decade, from festival stages to intimate venues.
