The Last Leviathan by Port Isaac Fisherman's Friends

[@bonmas75]

I still can't hear this song properly as it's so beautiful and his voice was so pure. such a shame we will never hear him sing it in person again. he was my cousin and we miss him so much.

Wednesday 14th December . This song makes me cry every time I hear it and I despair for the human race. I have a huge connection with Cornwall, my son lives in a small village near Portloe. So so beautiful, I so wish I’d seen him sing live, I’ve missed out on something magical.

[@danielannett1019]

i had the honor of listening to this song in port issac by the boys there was at least 2000 people there and the whole harbour was silent with just the sound of the waves in the background it was just amazing to hear

Such a gorgeous song by such an amazing man... Everyday, I wake up, and see their book with Toastie right in the centre. I turn my iPod on, I hear his voice... It's horrific that such a lovely person should have had his life ripped away by a failure of health and safety. God bless both him and Paul,

[@mmmickmcg65]

Great rendition ...delivers the message of what we are doing to our environment and touches us emotionally. It is a great tribute to both the singer .rip the songwtiter andy barnes and the message about the many species killed off by us humans.

Should be the anthem for Greenpeace! Very evocative piece from a superb group.

[@monicamurfitt92]

made me cry many times, having left Cornwall now and miss the Fishermans's friends

All Hail! Trevor the best song

[@wendycoulton1585]

Evocative and poignant. A moving vocal tribute to a great talent and friend.

[@Alcalaina]

It doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere, but this great song was written by Andy Barnes in 1983.

[@catherinekyngdon327]

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

Goosebumps

[@liampresser1739]

I tried to find this version of this song, which is in one of the older albums I know, and I want to hear what the rest of the songs on the album sound like, however I'm not from the UK, just making it clear

[@Vyntr]

truly a wonderful song

[@johnsnook8792]

This and other wonderful shanty songs from this group, are getting a wider exposure by being performed by passenger shanty choirs headed by a great Cornishman named Tommi, on board the Cunard cruise liners. Go, Tommi!

[@stephenlargue6289]

Beautiful!

[@pennyquilter6162]

My heart is breaking 😢

[@marcopalieri3912]

Mi viene da piangere ogni volta....

[@pete5332]

I'm regarded by many as a bit 'Hardbitten' This brought a tear to my eye.

[@MrRocklover18]

Rest in peace

[@JanetMarsh-uu6pq]

RIP Trevor

[@johnmunro4952]

We have done so much damage. And we continue to. When will we learn? When it is too late.

[@corvairkid63]

Dubliners did this song it was amazing. FF song different but still thought provoking

[@deejannemeiurffnicht1791]

by far the most evocative wrenching version of this i ever heard was by a Graham Robertson of the Tay/Dundee area who had worked for the Dundee Courier and who played a beautiful old Washburn guitar at many of the local folk sessions around the area. a very loved guy. anyone who heard him sing this is a very lucky person. i rate the fishermans friends very highly, but they strangely dont have much power on this song, whereas Graham with one gently picked guitar and his one voice would move you to the core

[@hopefulguitarist7532]

very moving and lovely. But I'm not sure why Louis Killen chose to slightly change the words -as heard in this version.

[@traceyemmerson354]

so sad xx

[@shockwave4742]

We have done horrible things to other species, and I've felt many times that I've had all I can take of human arrogance. But does this song, specifically, have any historical context? Or is it just about the phenomenon in general, of hunting species to extinction?

[@fiveoctaves]

This was written in 1983, around the peak of the Save the Whales movement.

[@user-js9cb5ni9r]

listen to dubliners version beautifully perfectioned by luke kelly who is no longer with us
