The Wellermen

Bass singing quartet 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 Colours’ have racked up billions of views & led them to appearances on shows like Ant and Dec, Last Week Tonight, The Colbert Show & 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 Johnny Cash ‘Hurt’ & a lively version of ‘The Nights'.

Having never met prior to their viral Tik Tok moment, the individual members of the group each have varied backgrounds. Bobby Waters was at the University of Massachusetts and graduated with a degree in Computer Science, whilst over in the UK, Jonny Stewart was freelancing as a bass singer and studying to become an accountant. The youngest member of the group, Luke Taylor, at only 21, was the only bass on the original ‘Wellerman’ recording sung by Nathan Evans and subsequently was asked to join The Wellermen to form the supergroup of singers. To complete The Wellermen lineup, British native Sam Pope is not just a singer, he’s also a professional actor & multi-instrumentalist, currently starring in the touring musical production of ‘Bat Out Of Hell’ in the UK.
