"Home from the Sea"

Jim Davidson and The voluntary crews from Caister and Cromer in Norfolk give an unforgettable performance on stage.
The man, the men, the words, the music, the faces, the story--all together-- I give them my highest scoore!

[@twinkletoesIRL]

My dad Phil wrote this song because of losing his brother to the sea in a place where there were no lifeboats. He started to help the RNLI so money could be raised to build more lifeboat stations in IRL and the UK. The men & woman of the RNLI are incredible for what they do for people & I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with many of them. As CAPTAINTJM said... "get a life" the RNLI are the real heros and you should remember that!

[@CymruEmergencyResponder]

And so are the Independent Lifeboat Crews.....like the Caister crew in this video.

[@billlongstreet2907]

Wow, your dad sounded like a wonderful man!

[@auseire8656]

Decent bloke is Jim, does alot for good causes like supporting our troops at home and abroad and with RNLI; unlike other so called comedians and entertainers.

[@AnthonyMcTigue]

Top class

[@triggerpepsi]

i remember watching this on tele. great song, i love it when they lift the curtain and all sing

[@Warriorking1963]

Very true! If memory serves right, he wrote it after loosing his brother in a boating(?) accident. It's good that such a tragic happening can be the inspiration for such a fantastic song.

[@martin77722]

good on you jim and the great charity work you do you stand out from all the rest caister respects you

[@codyterrier]

[@torisand]

Bigada1 That's how I react too each time I play this wonderful video!Vennlig hilsen fra Norge.

[@Pswatman]

Good old Caister Voluntary Lifeboat Service

[@Warriorking.1963]

It's a real shame this was never released as a single (as far as I know).

[@hermanthetosser4219]

@@Warriorking.1963 I've got the cd single of it somewhere.

[@alisonprince1102]

Absolutely brilliant

[@gezzarandom]

Remember watching this live and thought the volunteer crews were outstanding considering they're not a choir but they'd make a very good one.

[@jawalsh57]

I get goosebumps when I hear this, Great stuff, love it. Added it to my favorites

[@angiestock-christie2848]

Wanted to cry as I knew the small man in glasses (Howard Bell) on left who I worked with many years ago.

[@s13hgp]

Fantastic Performance!

[@ts2otk_313]

don't know how I got here. But I love it

[@danielrichards1885]

Love this!!! Got it on CD!!!

[@stgeorgesprincipal]

Phil Coulter wrote some fantastic songs....

[@davidt8271]

Great video i have worked along side the RNLI and they are a great bunch of lads, keep up the great work, well done Jim for supporting them.

[@rayzorgreen]

i find it quite fitting that this song was accompanied by the caister lifeboat men, and it kinda tell a story of the disaster that happened to the them on the 13 November 1901 where the crew of the beauchamp (caister lifeboat) answered a distress flare but unfortunately as the sea were very heavy it took a number of attempts to launch, however when they did launch they didnt get very far because the lifeboat capsized, tragically 9 men lost their lives on that night.

[@jasonclaxton7042]

And people think footballers are heroes just look at what these men do well done boys

[@rayjc2000]

Home From The Sea Lyrics And Chords. Written By Phil Coulter and recorded by Liam Clancy and by Celtic Thunder. Heroes one and all, three cheers, Hip Hip Hooray,,Hip Hip Hooray,,Hip Hip Hooray,,,,,,

[@HedgehogChopper]

retained fire crews, mountain & cave rescue, then theres first responders. within the community there are lots of volunteers, but the lifeboat personel do stand there or there abouts at the top

[@GeoffreyMayne1]

Good old Cromer RNLI & Caister Independent, you do a fantastic job..

[@bikermanx1]

My cousins son was on the Cromer lifeboat crew

[@ollie241189]

nice one jimmy boy! u do us all proud 2 show u r not the stereotypical you in which people think u are 24/7! nice 1 jim!

[@markwatson6740]

100% Respect

[@dollydreamer100]

love it xxxx

[@biggsyhsac]

I support the RNLI in every way I can and I hope after my uni course to be able to join the crew of the falmouth RNLI

[@CymruEmergencyResponder]

Please don’t forget the Independent Lifeboats. They have a more difficult time raising money. The Caister crew in this video are Independent.

[@torisand]

@TheMrmcd I'm deeply touched every time I watch this wonderful performance!! God bless! Vennlig hilsen Tor Inge

[@Sailingpilotchris]

Brilliant. I'd like the CD

[@agghh123]

[@danielleelisebranagancoult7178]

Yes true, a Phil Coulter song and her name is Dominique, I know both very well :)

[@hermanthetosser4219]

This single might not of reached the UK top. 40 but you'd be sure to find a copy of it in great yarmouth

[@torisand]

@rayzorgreen Thank you kindly for your very interesting informations which make this performance even more touching. Vennlig hilsen Tor Inge

[@torisand]

@twinkletoesIRL Thank you for your heartwarming informations. GOD bless you! Vennlig hilsen Tor Inge

[@Ambidexter143]

The book says you've got to go out there, it doesn't say you're coming back.

[@228ANDY]

Cheers!!

[@agghh123]

[@TheSaltydog07]

Give me a song of the Sea.

[@davidjackson3592]

He sounds a little like Willie Nelson.

[@kevinmaylam1680]

The British Bob hope

[@Sailingpilotchris]

IS this song available on CD or MP3? Thanks

[@yarik6591]

cos pieknego. szkoga, ze nikt tego nie slucha

[@covblazebabe21]

leave jim alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@georgeyoung1210]

its disgusting the government don't fund them, same with air ambulance too!

[@sapper82]

On the other hand, it means they are, or at least have been until recently, free of government diktat and Common Purpose bullshonet.

[@twinkletoesIRL]

@38jonda thanks for writing this... I cant believe I have found someone that believed that stunt was real HAHAHA.... your talking about an ENTERTAINMENT tv show which I was working on too. The production crew came up with this stunt for entertainment so it was my dads job to do that... the guitar that was smashed was NOT the boys guitar it was a copy.....the boys reaction was the only real thing about that! Do you believe every stunt/audition on "The X Factor/American Idol" etc is real??

[@mummygiraffepresentsclassi8722]

Doesn't lifeboat chappy who Jim shakes hands with remind yoo of the sadly late Graham Taylor? Xxxx

[@hermanthetosser4219]

that's dicky thurlow who he shakes hands with. still alive and still apart of the lifeboat present

[@AnimalMagic1]

Can somebody suggest to Jim to spare a little time .. for the many innocent men,women and CHILDREN .. that have been killed by our forces??

[@Rebecca-ip4gw]

Do you have blue eyes and blonde hair you foul mouthed creature?

[@torisand]

I'll send you a message. Vennlig hilsen Tor Inge

[@mcchunk79]

liam clancy to be exact................

[@mcchunk79]

iv never heard a worse version of this song in my life!!! jim and co butchered it!!! the clancey brothers is the one and only version.. the irish version. the real version..... DONT ARGUE, JUST LISTEN

[@bammy1690]

Taig

[@manxdiscoservicesdavekelly2284]

Cam you sing better??

[@rachaelstanton5789]

You're spouting rubbish, this version is being sung by men who go out and do it !! You're all ill informed talk !! The irish version is just one of many and in no way outstanding !!
