Shipshape and Bristol Fashion

Welcome aboard Shipshape and Bristol Fashion — the podcast exploring the people, stories, music and adventures behind the world of sea shanties and maritime music.
Hosted by Justin “Oggie” Blackett, we go beyond the songs to discover the characters and stories that make the shanty community so special. From the Port of Bristol Shanty Crew and fellow crews around the country, to musicians, festival organisers, historians and fascinating guests, we meet the people keeping maritime music alive.
Expect entertaining conversations, live music, shanties, maritime history, festival stories, behind-the-scenes adventures and plenty of laughter along the way.
Whether you're a lifelong shanty enthusiast, a performer, a maritime history fan, or you've simply discovered sea shanties and wondered what all the fuss is about — there's a place for you aboard.
So grab a pint, haul on a rope and join us for the next adventure.
Shipshape and Bristol Fashion — where the people behind the shanties have a story to tell.
