‘Swinging the Lead’ – that’s Lead as in the metal (we are not a dog walking group), are a Maritime Folk Music Band, based in Kent.

We make regular appearances at festivals in the UK and Europe and since 2011 we have been the resident Sea Shanty Singers on the famous tea clipper, tall ship ‘Cutty Sark‘ at Greenwich.

We endeavour to provide appropriate entertainment with energy and enthusiasm and we encourage audience participation.
