Overview
Jamie Robinson has sailed for most of his life all over the world on a variety of vessels, nearly all of them old traditional sailing ships and square riggers.
His trusty concertina has been with him on all of these sea voyages and he would often augment his meagre sailor’s wages by busking in whatever port he landed in. His music has the genuine authenticity of someone who has spent a life at sea and his songs and shanties have been heard in many ports and sailor’s pubs across the world.
Jamie can also be found performing with his son, Duncan and was seen raising funds at a folk and shanty weekend held on the 1st and 2nd November 2025 to help assist with the cost of the renovation of the Kathleen & May, currently in Gloucester Docks .
