What: The Wellermen @ Theatreship

When:

The Wellermen @ Theatreship

Part of Theatreship’s guest nights - where contemporary artists take over the ship to highlight the stories they want to tell.

In this edition, The Wellermen take to our ship’s stage for a night of storytelling and sea shanties.

Here’s some more info from them:

Music is storytelling, and some of the best stories have been told through centuries-old traditional folk songs. On their new album ‘Northern Sky’, The Wellermen have given this rich traditional musical history a new sound.

The Wellermen’s history is well-known: originators of the sea shanty trend on TikTok, they’ve since gone from strength to strength. Their versions of ‘Misty Mountains’, ‘Nancy Mulligan’, and ‘Hoist The Colors’ have racked up billions of views and led them to appearances on shows like Ant and Dec, Last Week Tonight, The Colbert Show and more.

The group have now returned with their new album ‘Northern Sky’. Among much-loved traditionals such as ‘Wild Mountain Thyme’, ‘Amazing Grace’, and ‘Red Is The Rose’, you will find more modern songs such as a tribute to Johnny Cash on ‘Hurt’ and a lively version of ‘The Nights’. The band also present originals ‘Northern Sky’ - inspired by maritime life in the Hebrides in the 18th century, and the humorous ‘Tall Tales’ - and one-upmanship of the telling of wild sea adventures.

Say the Wellermen: “It’s all about connection and storytelling, and we hope the listeners are able to find something meaningful.” One thing is absolutely certain: these talented young men are in it for the long haul.

Folk
Bass singing folk group The Wellermen were discovered during the viral Sea Shanty trend of early 2021 and have since cemented themselves as one of the most exciting folk groups to emerge that year. Their debut album has amassed over 110m+ streams, and in the short space of 2 years their online following has reached several million. The four members (Jonny Stewart, Sam Pope, Luke Taylor and Bobby Waters) had never met together in person until their debut show in June 2023 in the UK. The Wellermen have appeared at The Brits, Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, The Colbert Show & ABC News Australia. They are now preparing to tour the world and are currently recording their hotly anticipated follow up album.
