UK's Most landlocked Sea Shanty Band

It’s been said we’re “the best Sea Shanty band to sail out of Bedfordshire” — and we’ll happily take that crown.
We belt out traditional songs of the sea packed with rum, women, whaling, and sailing, and we guarantee a roaring good time from the first note to the last chorus.

Whether it’s a party, corporate event, pub, club, festival, community day, or charity gig, the Sloop Groggy Dogs turn any gathering into a full-blown ShantyAlong. If you want noise, laughter, and proper maritime mischief, you know who to invite.

We’ve had the honour of performing at some legendary ports of call, including the Tower of London, the Cutty Sark, The Guards Museum, Trafalgar Night events, and of course sea shanty festivals in Falmouth, Harwich, and Brancaster — not to mention many a fine evening aboard HMS Pickle.

2026 is set to be epic: loud ShantyAlongs, full-throttle festivals, mini-tours across Devon and Marlborough, and maybe even an international adventure.
We’ll be raising the roof at Falmouth, Harwich, and many more ports of call — and we want YOU there!

We’ll be raising the roof once again at the Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival, Harwich, and plenty more ports of call as the year unfolds.
Stand by, sing loud, and stay groggy — we’ll see you on deck.

Join the Slooper Troopers. Sing, dance, cheer, and make some noise with us!
Or, if you want to bring the chaos to your own event — book the Sloop Groggy Dogs today and let the shanties begin.
