Ep 8: Fish in the Sea – Guinness Zero, salty sayings & meet the Dog

Ep.11: The Shanty World Cup 2026

The greatest tournament in football history meets the greatest musical genre in history. In this special World Cup edition of the Shanty Band Podcast, the crew gather for the inaugural Shanty World Cup, pitting football nations, terrace anthems and sea shanties against each other in a tournament nobody asked for or wanted. In the absence of the calming influence of the Scottish Skipper this may be the worst Shantycast! you ever listen to - as the crew run riot with their hopeless dreams of World Cup Victory. (guess who writes the descriptions?)

Ep 10: Noodles, Naval Songs & Points of Order!

Episode 10 sails into turbulent waters as we turn our attention to George Washington. We raise several highly questionable “points of order,” attempt to maintain some dignity, and inevitably fail. Fuelled by noodles , we blend maritime tradition with complete nonsense.

Ep. 9: Learning “Good Morning Ladies” + Usual Banter

We’re back on familiar ground this week after our brief detour—normal service has resumed. That means all the usual features, plenty of questionable banter, and a proper dive into a new shanty as we take on “Good Morning Ladies.” . If you enjoyed the classic episodes, this one’s very much in that spirit—loose, lively, and full of shanty goodness. Grab a drink, join in where you can, and as always… sing along.

BONUS Shout Out!

Matt decided to do some SHOUT OUTS and things got out of hand so Peter had to edit them out... enjoy!

Ep 8: Fish in the Sea – Guinness Zero, salty sayings & meet the Dog

Ahoy and welcome to another episode of Shantycast! This week the Dockyard Dogs sing the powerful traditional shanty “Fish in the sea”, exploring its history, teaching the chorus, and finishing with a full-blooded performance. We raise a glass of Guinness Zero for this episode’s Ale of the Podcast, proving you can keep the shanty spirit without losing your sea legs. Our salty saying this week is “turn a blind eye” — with its origins firmly tied to Nelson and naval history. Grant gets the story wrong and adds some French ships but we'll all just ignore that historical error won't we? We also meet one of the Dogs, Peter. 🎶 Hosted by the Dockyard Dogs – the RNLI shanty band keeping sea songs alive, pint in hand and voices loud.📸 Follow us: @dockyarddogs
