Little Dorritt	Loss of all hands in the irish sea (53* d)	Loss of all hands in the irish sea	12 Jan 00
The Solway Harvester, a scallop dredger was lost with all hands today, in terrible conditions in the Irish Sea. seven crew members, six from one village, aged between 22-17, are drowned. Are all folks songs political? Probably, but some are just borne out of the tragedy of everyday living. I am reminded of all those fishing songs 'Three Score and Ten' 'Harry Eddon' and how stupidly in my own mind I created an image of another era, when things like that happened. More guilty still, the words trip off the tongue without making the connection between the song and the reality. Today it has brought it home to me.
