I have written a couple of songs about whaling in Hull (several of my forebears were Hull whalers). Apart from Beggars' Litany, which is my take on the Hull, Hell and Halifax couplet, I haven't recorded them yet but I would be happy to send you the lyrics if you care to PM me. You can hear a rather poor recording of Beggars' Litany at

If I can help with the project in any way, I would be pleased to do so.
