Overview

Discogs describes this group as a folk band from Langesund, Norway, playing mainly traditional Irish folk music.

From the band’s Facebook page:  “Shows from the sea, shanties, Irish folk rock and Erik Bye.  Made concerts with Ole Paus and Frode Alnæs.”

The group released an album on CD, Step on Board in Any Port, in 2016. [Discogs]

[Editor’s note:  it was confirmed on 25 Aug 2023 that the group does not have a website]

Dean Calin of the MMDI learned at the 2024 Bie Daip Festival, from Lars Hermansen, that the group disbanded shortly after the 2023 Bie Daip Festival.  For this editor, the news is heavy and sad, as Fish & Ships has been on the scene for many years and was very well regarded by the shanty music community.
