Re: Brilliant..

What joy … and that lead singer is pretty damn good. Barely wavered out of key, even when belting it out.

Of course.....well

Wotie is now and desperately searching for an excuse - I can only plead that my downunder ears ain't tuned for upover Norwegian sea-dogs. I knew it was familiar, thanks Mike

This is more the language that works around here


But the Nords are way cooler standing in the rigging etc

It’s a great shanty. Love belting it out whenever I can.

Here’s a performance (different song) I came across on Youtube. Love this fellow’s voice!

Nice and not only for his voice!

I love these short clips not only for the performance but also for the background crowd and scenery. They are nice (and real) window on humanity.
