Singing the fishing 30 Dec 2005
Format:Audio CD
This is probably radio documentary at its very best. It is a balance of sound and singing, voice and rythme. We hear of life at its very hardest and how the sea draws the fisherman again and again from the nineteenth century to the twentieth century. We hear of the drifter, the steam boat and the diesel: of the girls from Scotland who gutted the herring. Above all we hear songs that have passed into folklore and are given title and author for the first time. It is the most compulsive record you can listen to, and of God - if you listen "....he shot Him." Buy it and listen.

Bravo BBC! Thank you Charles Parker, Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger! And now thank you Topic Records! This is a prototype that all radio documentaries should be measured against. One of the Radio Ballads originally broadcast between 1957 and 1964 by the BBC it tells the story of the herring fishing industry between 1892 and the mid 20th century off the north and east coasts of Britain. An example of how radio paints better pictures than TV or video and the music is just exquisite. A cameo that any student of the history of the British Isles will find enthralling. All teachers of history should know about this series.

Singing the fishing 22 April 2010
Format:Audio CD
Absolutely supurb - one of the best CDs we have ever bought. A slice of history - hearing the ex fishermen speaking about their life on the fishing boats at the end of the last century and the beginning of this century really brings the songs to life. A real gem.
