Thread Name: Cornish Shanty group on BBC news today
Subject: RE: Cornish Shanty group on BBC news today
I and many shanty singers wish Fishermans Friends all the best and hope that our local media will look out for their local shantymen... so long as we can sing where the wind won't take the sound away!
The recorded extract sounded great.This was real, gutsy, singing - unlike the awful' classical' versions of Johnny I hardly knew yer and She moved through the fair on Radio 3 earlier this week!
( Yes I do know She moved ... was not originally a trad song)
