The Ballina Whalers

The Ballina Whalers are Pete Truin, Jamie Doe and Sam Brookes - three musical barnacles clinging to the creaking hull of a musical tradition stretching back over hundreds of years. Using just their voices they explore ballads, shanties and seafaring songs that tell tales of whaling ships, lost loves, roaring storms and hardship out at sea. Fast becoming one of the most sought after shanty bands around, known as much for their heart rending three part harmonies as their lusty approach to singing shanties. "Stunning voices that blend so beautifully, a real knock out" - Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2 "The Ballina Whalers are by far the sweetest honey toned shanty men we have ever heard bringing a whole new dimension of masculine beauty to this age old tradition" The Nest Collective
