Hoblander	She Shanties in Hull (23)	RE: She Shanties in Hull	23 Apr 12
Addressing Steve's point, in the UK, Marske Fishermen's Choir is still going strong after 40 years and they seem to bridge the styles with shanties, hymns and popular songs and combined it with raising money for charity. Filey still has a fishermen's choir and Staithes Fishermen's choir was replaced with Men of Staithes. Just up the coast from you Steve. There were more fishermen's choirs further up the coast around Holy Island and Seahouses, but I don't know if they are still in existance. Don't forget Benny Graham's Tynside Maritime Chorus is still going. Just googled "fishermen's choir" and the results are dominated by Marke and Filey and Polperro Some of the fisherman's hymns a brilliant poignant songs. Kevin
