A little teaser........ The Trowmen have a new album coming end of this month. Here's first single from it, a succinct tale of the fall and re-birth of the pilchard industry in Cornwall in the noughties, brilliantly renamed as 'Cornish…

We were delighted to learn recently of a new Trowmen fan in the USA, Laraba Kendig, an author who has released several books which are variations of ‘Pride & Prejudice’ by Jane Austin. She was inspired enough by our renditions…

Ahem! (Drum roll please......  ) THE ROARING TROWMEN RETURN!! After a few years in the shanty wastelands, our ship has returned to the harmonic mainland. We have stories to tell, excuses aplenty (some of us even have new offspring!) but…

Some things you just can't leave alone :-).  Well it seems that hearty humorous harmonising is one of them. There are developments in Trowmen circles which will see us performing again soon. Watch this space!!!

AUTUMN SINGAROUND!! Hen & Chicken, Thursday 5th October, 8.00pm. After a salty time on the beach at Brighton this week, we return home and re-visit the Hen & Chicken pub in Bedminster to host a hopefully rousing singaround. All welcome…

Yea, we know it was a while ago, but such sweet memories! Our adoring fans packed out the Sabrina tent at Shrewsbury Folk Festival and many more couldn't get in. A rousing set marks the end of a chapter for…

In case you've been living under a woodlice or not checking our website regularly you naughty boy/girl/insect, then you'll know that this (Bank Holiday) weekend is the BIG one, Shrewsbury :-). Our absolute FAVE festival, and we've done a few…
