I find most sea shanties a bit annoying with all the whooping and hollering. Except for this one. I've always loved Tony Hall's mourneful version, and it's his version I've done here, replacing his melodeon with a noisy electric guitar...

Comment

Primarily a free improviser using melodeon and live electronics, also interested in traditional English music, and occasionally dragged back to play the post-punk music of my late 70's youth in the band "Drop"...
