It does look good.
I gather it is to benefit the Irish lifeboat system? I can't find a 'Cromer thread' so would like more information, please.

The link that I was talking about is not for the Cromer thread just for more information - thought I'd better clarify!.

Tom's link indicates that the funds are being raised for the Cromer Lifeboat Crew Fund, I would take that to be a specific local use of funds within the RNLI.Cromer Lifeboat

I would therefore not expect this to directly benefit lifeboats in Ireland, though to quote the RNLI website, "The RNLI is the charity that provides a 24-hour lifesaving service around the UK and Republic of Ireland." a rare example of an institution which functions in both countries' waters.

Several good artists on that recording, looks like pretty good value even without the charity element.

Sorry, the thread is called Folk on the Pier. The pier is in Cromer, Norfolk, England.

Should that be Fiddler's Green rather than Fisherman's Green by John Conolly?

Ha - well spotted! That's actually a swipe and plink from the Cromer website - but an understandable mistake in the circs I guess.
