Based in and around the St Austell Bay area, The Press Gang are a group of nine singers and musicians who perform foot-stomping shanties, melodic songs of the sea and songs of their beloved Kernow.
Well established and revered by audiences near and far, they are known for reworking traditional shanties and folk songs into their own harmonious, energetic style and mixing Cornish tradition with raucous entertainment.
From grand festival stages to small intimate venues, The Press Gang have been taking audiences on maritime and Cornish heritage voyages through songs and shanties for well over a decade.
Come, stomp your feet, clap your hands and let them immerse you in the captivating melodies of the Sea and Cornwall.
Joining The Press Gang is Harry Glasson, famed writer of 'Cornwall My Home'. Harry has been part of the Cornish folk scene since he was a young man in the 1960s and has penned many Cornish folk songs performed by a wide variety of bands, soloists and choirs.
