There has been a resurgence of interest in maritime songs and shanties since a TikTok video took the world by storm a while back. This week on the Magazine we begin a two-part feature focusing on maritime songs and shanties. We’ll hear music from The Fisherman’s Friends, Hauler, Jimmy Rankin, The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem and of course, Stan Rogers. We’ll haul away boys … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
