Wareham Whalers enjoy singing a wide range of shanties, songs of the sea as well as a number of songs about the sea composed by members of our crew. We adopt the style that sailors would have used nearly 200 hundred years ago when they were working, so we sing with no accompaniment and where appropriate, put in the stresses that would have signalled a pull on the heavy ropes.

Whilst singing we raise money for local charities including the RNLI, regularly singing for their lifeboat naming ceremonies at their headquarters in Poole, England.

We enjoy performing our own concerts, singing at festivals both in England and in France, as well as singing at a range of venues in our county of Dorset.

Above all, we enjoy each other’s company, and we sing for the sheer pleasure it gives. We like to share this with our audiences and we love it when they join in with us. So, if you have never seen us, come and see what you have been missing.
