Overview
“A fine group of men – and woman (don’t forget Helen Highwater!) – singing historic sea shanties. Their look is of authentic period seafarers, and their sound is a joy to hear. Simply glorious and thoroughly recommended.”
Candia McKormack

The first disc has 17 traditional sea shanties from the era of the tall ships the second a varied collection of 16 numbers, some but not all traditional, ‘which sailors might have enjoyed singing in a dockside tavern’.
