Thank you, SussexCarole, about your rendition of Ilo Man. It was noted by the American James Madison Carpenter from William Fender, of 16, Sydenham Street, Barry, South Wales, later given the name of Coronation Street. In 1928, Carpenter journeyed to Barry and Cardiff where he recorded 50 shanties and sea songs off six sailors, the most prolific being Fender with 22 songs. Carpenter was always strapped for cash, so he invented this money-saving system - He had a primitive disc recording machine, so he would record the source, make a careful note of it, and "scratch" the disc so it could be used again. It's a minor miracle that so many of the South Wales shanties survived as sound recordings. Look up Rees Baldwin, a sailor who was Carpenter's main contact(and Mayor of Barry) - I've written a stage play about him.

Calennig always meant that Trade Winds would be one of a series, but then I had my stroke. so it put paid to that. Ilo Man goes:

There's a ship in full sail, and it's out upon river,
Way-hay, you Ilo Man!
There's a ship in full sail, and it's out upon the river,
Way-ay you Ilo man!

Some have linked it to an American shanty called Huckleberry Hunting - that's it... I'm too tired to go on!
