Welcome to our website. The Harry Browns are regarded as the premier shanty & maritime group in the Bristol & West area. We have been singing together now for almost twenty years, so we should be getting it right by now.
We sing both traditional & contemporary songs, but with an emphasis on songs from the West Country. On the following pages you will find out more about us and where & when we will be appearing at a dockside near you.
The Harrys enjoy singing and sharing that enjoyment with anyone who chooses to listen. We hope to keep alive the memory & traditions of the sea-faring people of Bristol. Although shanties were working songs sung on board ship we believe that, these days , they are better enjoyed when sung by everyone - Harrys and audience alike.
