Polperro Wreckers
In August 2009 five members of the Polperro Fishermen’s Choir met to form an 'afterglow' singing group with the idea of enjoying a ‘sing along’ after the choir’s Wednesday evening practice sessions or after the choir had performed one of its many concerts. Fifteen members of the choir attended the first afterglow practice session and the group quickly adopted the name 'Polperro Wreckers' with the first gig being held just prior to Christmas 2009.
The practice sessions have themselves become performances enjoyed by both visitors and locals alike singing along to a mixture of Cornish, Shanty, Folk, and Sixties numbers. The Wreckers are all about letting their hair down and having fun. They have now performed at various venues in Cornwall and Devon with charities such as the RNLI, Shelter Box, British Heart Foundation, Children's Hospice SW, Cornwall Air Ambulance and local charities including the Fishermen’s Choir benefiting as a result.
At about 9 pm or so on most Wednesday evenings (unless the choir is busy elsewhere), the Wreckers can be found enjoying themselves in a local pub or club in Polperro, or sometimes on the Big Green. Check below for details.

 | MERRY CHRISTMAS!24 Dec 2025 The Choir and the Wreckers would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. We're one of the oldest male voice choirs in Cornwall and have been based in the lovely Polperro Chapel for well over 100 years. We are very thankful to the founders of the choir and the singing fishermen of Polperro for leaving us such a wonderful legacy. Our programme of concerts for 2026 is already taking shape so we hope to entertain you again in the new year! |
 | FUN IN THE LEGION CLUB21 Jan 2026 Soon after 9pm The Wreckers aim to be back having New Year fun in Polperro's Royal British Legion Club on Wednesday 21st January. We'll be alternating every other Wednesday with the Ship Inn when they are ready to be Wrecked but, meanwhile, come and join us for some winter warmers in the club up behind the model village (look for the red lights). It's very welcoming and open to all - no need to be a member - so just come and enjoy the fun. We love to entertain! |
 | COME AND JOIN US!28 Jan 2026 January is an excellent time to join Polperro Fishermen's Choir. We'll have just started rehearsing for our concerts later in the year so everyone will be learning some new songs. There are no auditions!

If you'd like to give us a try, come along to Polperro Holiday Park at about 7.15pm on Wednesday 28th January for our special New Members' Evening. Look out for further details closer to the date. We're a very friendly bunch so you will be made very welcome! |
