THE BARNACLE BUOYS
The Barnacle Buoys are made up a group of people who have known each other for many years but did not know they all had something in common, the appreciation of shanty music. After making the discovery the buoys got together in February last year and shared a pint or two in the Old Inn at Clevedon, where they are now based, and experimented with a few shanties and away they went. The Barnies have their own unique style pleasing the audiences with their strong delivery. They look forward to being in the company of the other performers at this prestigious festival. They have become very popular in the North Somerset area and have performed in aid of numerous charities including the RNLI, Children’s Hospice South West, National Trust, Motor Neurone Research, Princes Trust, Philippines Rescue Appeal and Cancer Research. The Barnies have lots of things planned for the rest of this year and beyond, but the pinnacle of their short ‘career’ is definitely performing at this year’s Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival.
