Right-o, Wolfgang!
The DT Attribution PermaThread is an edited thread that's supposed to provide brief, verified information to Susan of DT so that she can make corrections to the Digital Tradition. But if there's disagreement on an issue, then we need to resolve the question elsewhere.

And on this point, you and I agree that the song is "North Sea Holes," and we have the concurrence of the Essential Ewan MacColl Songbook - but there are those who are not yet completely convinced, so I think the matter warrants further discussion. Can anybody listen to the radio-ballad Singing the Fishing and tell us what you hear? As far as I can tell, the only MacColl recording of the song is on the radio-ballad CD, which I don't have.
