The Albany Shantymen.
These blokes are my favourite Shanty singers. They hail from Albany in Western Australia and got together just to enjoy a good shanty and a few pints.
Seen here at The Earl Of Spencer pub in Albany where they meet up and just sing shanties for the pure enjoyment of it and not as a money making/concert type of reason.
Brilliant !

Splendid! I enjoyed it. A thumping good rhythm. Could do with a pub like that in this village.
