1. How did you get started singing Sea Shanties and Sea Songs?

At school with songs such as Drunken Sailor, The Mermaid, Plymouth Town etc.. Our music teacher used to get us singing after he'd failed to teach us much about music. Great Guy.

2. How do you learn your songs? Where do you find them?

Singing groups such as The Spinners and The Taverners.

3. Do you teach others your songs? If so in what way?

I try to introduce them at song circles, if you'd call that teaching.

4. Who or where have you learned most of your sea music from?

Probably The Spinners.

5. Would you say the internet is helping or harming the traditional sea music? How?

Definately very helpful. Lots of lyrics on Mudcat. Mudcat has also introduced me to other singers such as Barry Flynn who is doing a wonderful job singing shanties. Also introduced me to Bill Sables who taught me that other 'Mermaid' song.
