Somehow came across your music on Tidal, then went down a Martin Simpson rabbit hole 😅 I then came across this story on KZbin. Brilliant ww2 story and amazing folk song to tell it. 👏👏👏

Great story, great song! Another way to pay respect to the poor, the workers, the soldiers, the real lovers and guides of the community at sea! And beautiful how Martin connected his talent to people there, their stories, lifes and history. inspiring! What can I do with my talent to my community, family, the poor here in the Netherlands? I'm starting looking for people here working in the spirit of Martin Simpson and another fine English musicians like Emily Barker, Marry Waterson, Leon Rosselson, Dick Gaughan. Listen also to Martin's "More than Enough", story and song. He was telling and singing it in the Netherlands (Oisterwijk) in 2019, just traveling 'round with guitarcase and one bag! Even Cd's, he didn't have with him.
