about

This Album was recorded in 1997 and originally issued on Cassette only. The technology has come on a bit since then! We hope you will still find it enjoyable anyway .

Original Sleeve notes:

The Portsmouth Shantymen have been in existence since 1978 when they first formed up as an emergency requirement, to replace a non-arriving group at the Christchurch Folk Festival. They have been singing together at other festivals, clubs, bonfire parties, theme events, book launching ceremonies, Shanty Festivals, schools, historic sailing ships, charity events, Pusser's Rum promotional tours, knot-tiers events and many others too numerous to mention, ever since.

The Portsmouth Shantymen are SOOTY BROUGHTON, BRIAN INGHAM, NICK GOUGH AND PETE LUSCOMBE. Over the years we have collected a wealth of sea song material from traditional sources as well as from many modern songwriters. On this, our third album, we include many of our latest favourites, and hope that they will soon become yours.
