Sea shanties are a vital part of Appledore’s history. Many of Appledore’s residents a hundred years ago worked on the fishing fleet or on ships transporting raw materials and finished goods along the Bristol Channel. There were numerous small shipyards too, reinforcing the links between Appledore and the sea. There is still an active fishing fleet, and it is wonderful that Applecorers continue the maritime tradition with their sea shanties and other songs of the sea.

Applecorers have a Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/applecorersshanty?locale=en_GB. Below is a link to a sample of their singing skills, recorded at the Beaver in April 2023.
