This collection features shanty singers -- each of whom are (or have been) fishermen, lifeboat men, and coastguards -- from Port Isaac on Cornwall's rugged north coast. At around eight in the evening during the summer months, tourists and locals gather to hear this ten-man group sing a rousing set of shanties and Cornish folk songs. This album, recorded in a 15th-century church in nearby St. Kew, features a rich haul of songs from their Port Isaac repertoire.
