The group entered the 2021 North Northamptonshire Music Festival – which was held virtually due to coronavirus restrictions. They decided to share their video of a relatively recent shanty called ‘A Sailor Aint a Sailor (or The Last Shanty)’. In the end, Isle ‘ave a Shanty won comprehensively, totting up more votes than the second and third acts combined. The group is now looking forward to performing at Ely Aquafest and Ely Folk Club. They are also planning to record their first album in the autumn.
