Subject: June Tabor sinking of the Gaul From: Linda Kelly Date: 05 Feb 00 - 05:41 PM I am looking for a song which I believe either Linda thompson or June Tabor sang.It is a beautiful haunting tune which is called something like, 'ghost ship' or 'spyship' and it pertains to the sinking of the trawler 'Gaul'. It was used by the BBC as the theme tune to a series about 10-15 years ago, which dealt with the sinking of a trawlership and the government cover up as it was suspecting of spying. Although the series was based in the North east it related heavily to the incident of the Hull trawler Gaul. It starred Tom Wilkinson of The full monty fame, but other than that I only have a vague memory of it. I wish to trace this and I wondered if it had been published (by the BBC?) or if any one knows of its source? |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: June Tabor sinking of the Gaul From: 8_Pints Date: 11 Aug 01 - 07:08 PM Linda, I remember the series as "Spyship". We taped it on VCR, but not sure if it might have overwritten by now. Will report back if in luck. Bob vG |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: June Tabor sinking of the Gaul From: GUEST,Willa Date: 12 Aug 01 - 10:11 AM Also in search of this. I heard it within the last year, I think, on the radio as background music; wonder now if it was a Radio Humberside broadcast - might be worth a try. |
