The Keelers are Alan Fitzsimmons, Jim Mageean and George Unthank. They are now in their 40th year together, possibly the oldest shanty group in the country! The Keelers came together for the 1986 Tall Ships Race from Newcastle and have performed at many other Tall Ships events since in the UK, France, Germany, Poland, Ireland and the Netherlands, often performing with the late famous shantyman Stan Hugill. They have several CDs available and 3 shanty books, written by Jim.
