Clicked on that link, and I nearly jumped out of my skin when he bellowed out at me.

I'll never forget the weekend back in 1962 that a bunch of us, from club that used to meet at the York and Albany pub nearby, spent at Cecil Sharp House, as singing crew for the record that came out as "Shanties of the Seven Seas". It was stereo, so he had us walking round in circles for the capstans shanties, and lined up pulling on light cables for the hauling shanties. There wasn't any masts and rigging handy or beyond doubt he'd have had us climbing up them. Stan Kelly from Liverpool was there in the chorus as well.
