Cant get BBC NW here but:

Tweeted this at 1am this morning, is when she set sail 10 yrs ago.

The video uses the Spinners (The English 'Liverpool') Folk group version (imho a sadly underrated Folk group who did a lot to make folk music 'popular' on tv & radio in my youth also their concerts were sell outs and albums sold well when not much other singalong 'folk' was around.)
