Chris Ricketts

Internationally acclaimed 21st century shanty singer, Chris Ricketts returned after a 7 year silence with an album of shanties and self penned songs called 'Songs In The Key Of Sea'. Widely loved this album re-booted Chris' love the genre as he continues to record throughout 2022/23.

2023's release (yet to be named) will be Chris' 5th album and promises to be the best yet!

Chris mastered his craft working cruise ships and has been doing so for the last 7 years. With a minor short break to train as a music and drama teacher in secondary schools (he is now back doing this!).  Chris' passion for performing (and probably because his students were better than him) saw him going back to work on ships, but during his time off he toured his own unique brand of self-penned and traditional songs.  Quick-witted comedy and unique delivery of sea songs with the occasional self-penned song never fails to satisfy an audience.
