Hooks and Crookes
Hooks and Crookes are a sea shanty group of men based in Waterford in the southeast of Ireland. Our name comes from a light-hearted view of the old Cromwellian saying, 'of getting there by Hook or by Crooke'. Hook and Crooke are the name of the two headlands on either side of Waterford Harbour.
