Figurehead

Monday Aug 28, 2023 @ 1:15 pm The FAR Stage

Also Sunday Aug 27 @ 2:20 pm Outside Swan Hotel; Monday Aug 28 @ 4:10 pm Saltbar

Figurehead is a powerful all-female acapella group based in Cornwall who share a mutual love of shanties, songs of the sea and shorelines.

They’ve built up a considerable reputation at festivals in Cornwall and beyond for delivering a great sound and act, full of life and cheekiness.

Just ask the crowds at Falmouth Shanty Festival, Eden Pasty Championships, Priddy, Port Elliot and Looe Music Festivals! Or, of course, in their many appearances at Cornwall Folk Fest.

They claim that if it contains a reference to water, however slight, they consider it fair game!

Recent changes to the four-voice line-up include the addition of experienced singer and caller Gill Jolly, and Cath Simmons, formerly of Coastal Belles.
