Great song Skarpi. Probably one of the most Mis-identified pieces of music ever written. I've had people INSIST that it was about Glasgow, Newcastle, Dublin(!!) and even Liverpool. MacColl told of fishermen scoffing at the idea that he wrote "Shoals of Herring". "That song's been in my family for 100 years" they'd tell him.That's when you know you've been successful as a "folk" writer.
