I’ve heard my friend, Ron Baxter, (Artist, Poet, Songwriter and well known character on Fleetwood Folk Club and Festival scene) sing this, in his own inimitable style, a couple of times. Both times those last two verses brought a tear to my eye.
I asked Ron if he would mind if Bernadette & I had a go at doing something with it. He gave me a free hand. (We have arranged a new tune).
Hope you like it.
The Trawler ‘Red Falcon’ (Fleetwood) was lost in December 1959 – Ron was a boy, at the time, he remembers the disaster. (A search on Google will bring up several accounts)
