What a wonderful repository of songs and folk tales! I wish there was a playlist to this!

Kimbers men and fishermen’s friends both featured in this have albums. Enjoy. ☺️

If you whistled on a trawler out of Grimsby 50 years ago the crew would go mental because you were whistling up the wind.

Gareth seemed of of his comfort zone. Shoals of Herring is a bit of a red herring! It is not a traditional folk song but written by Euan MacColl for a BBC radio series Radio Ballads in 1960. The woman singer claimed to be a folk historian so should have known better. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story! Scottish? MacColl was born in England!
