A great friend of mine played bass for the Third Ear Band,and for the band"High Tide".They put out an album called "Sea Shanties".But you ain't never heard sea shanties like these.We were talking about the music one evening,and my mate said"We don't call it anything,we just play it".
I go along with Suibhne Astray,They were weird,but they were"doing it".
By the way,thanks for the link,brought back some good memories.
