Trev

Trev is a man with both feet firmly on the ground, just don't ask him which direction his toes are pointing. More useful than he appears, an all-round good egg, and can always be relied upon to bring the (questionable) banter.

Jon

Jon bears responsibility for setting up the band, mainly as a way of securing cheap evening entertainment at his wedding. In his playing days, he was also known as an enforcer with Trev in the second row. Jon switched to singing when he realised several of his bones have the consistency of chocolate. Listen out for him leading 'Marching Inland' and 'Thirty Years' Old'.

Mart

The glue that keeps all the parts together, Mart has sung in male voice and barbershop groups across the South West since boyhood. When asked by Jon to assemble a motley crew of rugby players to sing at his wedding, he didn't know what he was getting himself into. He now knows what he was getting into and still does it, which is to his testament.

Ash (Cavey)

Our frontman, Ash, is still a cornerstone of Falmouth Rugby's front row and also shores up our melody section. An avid fan of Fisherman's Friends' MC Jon Cleave, Ash's prayers were answered when he was asked to be part of the band.

Seb

Seb joined the band after a spell in the Perranporth shanty group, the Jollygoods. He joined the rugby club as a bright-eyed, 17-year-old athletic winger and has steadily moved his way closer to the scrum. He does a '2, 3, 4' and an 'oggy, oggy, oggy' better than most and doesn't take off his woolly hat in hot weather.

Josh

Every group needs a Scotsman, and Josh provides the musical ability and general bulk of several. A current Cornish Pirates back-row and coach of Falmouth Eagles, Josh spends many a long bus trip and car journey belting out the classics, much to the delight of those around him. A dab hand on both ukulele and guitar and an authentic undertone in the Mingulay Boat Song.

Ackers

Annoyingly good at everything. Everything. And the best looking of the group by a long way. He raises the standard of both our singing and our sex appeal. Modest to a fault and not one to hog the limelight, but the man's a star with the natural talent of making everyone around him better.

Brad

Brad was a legend of Falmouth's front row in his day and now spends his time playing golf, pumping iron and whipping the melody singers into line. With calves the size of most people's thighs and lungs the size of swimming pools, he's a force to be reckoned with on stage and off.

Jonah

Arguably the group's best inside centre, Jonah has hung up his boots to focus on his singing. Hailing from the mean streets of Macclesfield where he learnt to rap, Jonah is the most placid bloke you'll ever meet, unless he's had a couple of shandies or has his rugby boots on.

Ollie

The whipper-snapper of the group, Ollie holds the keys to the high notes that most in the group can't hit. Still a wiry winger for the Falmouth Eagles, Ollie holds top lines and defensive lines with impressive consistency.

Swampy

Our guitarist and melody man, Swamps, has only recently moved to the area from the Cotswolds. To make him feel at home, select others in the group like to remind him that he wasn't there the season we won the league. Listen out for him strumming his sweet chords to 'Tow Rope Girls'.

Tommy (TT)

Melody man and occasional lead, Tommy, was part of Sing Choir before joining Shanty Bass. He likes to think of himself as Cornwall's answer to Pedro Pascal, but with bigger arms and less hair. His playing career saw him try out a number of positions across the pack and back line.
