Gibb-

It really is hard to penetrate the wall of anonymity. But you're making progress.

I'm still looking for information on who were the UK singers on an early bawdy sea music recording titled Up the Foc'sle.
from 1966. Whomever they were they had a great recording session:

Combined Record Sales, © 1966, evidently of British extraction.

The recording was done in a live setting, with party or pub sounds in the background, and includes the following selections:

1. She'll be Coming Round the Mountain
2. The Old Red Flannel Drawers that Maggie Wore
3. Poor Blind Nell
4. John Brown's Body
5. Poor Little Angeline
6. The Sailor Coming Home on leave
7. The Sailor's Prayer
8. Harry My Boy (recitation)
9. Jenny Wren Bride
10. Roll Your Leg Over
11. The Good Ship Venus
12. Eskimo Nell (recitation)

Sound like something that Cyril Tawney might have had something to do with but no direct clue about performers or anything else for that matter. Great cover art of British sailors in HMS embroidered caps and tattoos by Maddocks.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
