Coblers Monday have undergone several sea changes during the past 12 years,but the vastly experienced

groups wide ranging repertoire of Sea-faring songs, and Shanties, are all still performed with the groups

underlying sense of fun shining through their powerhouse singing.

With group members varied erratic work schedule not every member is always available. So regular group

members Mick Green, ‘Redcar Mike’ Stather, Mick Haywood and Phil Jones are often augmented with

honorary members Angi and Liam Haywood,Ken Stocks and Mike O’Leary Johns.

Group members, have appeared on ‘ ITV’s Clayton’s Coast’, ‘BBC Countryfile’, CBBC,s Bio  and starred as

 “scurvy victims” on the BBC2 series “What the Industrial Revolution did for us”.

Coblers Monday are not only a Sea Song and Shanty group, each member is a solo singer in their own

right. The collected groups wide ranging repertoire of Sea-faring songs, Shanties, Traditional lays and

 Drinking  strains are all  performed with the groups underlying sense of fun shining through their

powerhouse singing.

This makes them ideally suitable for Maritime Events,Folk Clubs, Festivals, Concerts, etc.
