This week's offering from the Fisherman's Friends is a clip from one of their regular presentations to their own community, down in the Port Isaac harbour, and the song is purely Port Isaac. (NB: this vid is a bit flashy and jumpy, so if that disturbs you, just listen instead!) I had a little trouble loading this vid in - so in case it doesn't play on this post, you can listen on the tubular if you click through here ...
Ah, and I thought the term 'silver darlings' for herrings was a Scottish thing. (There is a long established and rather expensive restaurant at the entrance to Aberdeen harbour called 'The Silver Darling'.) Cheers, Gail.
Hari OM As did I until I visited maritime museums in Norfolk and Northumberland and discovered that the Herring fisheries of yesteryear stretched far and wide, and this term was used when it was thought they would never end...Yxx
I wish I could be there... what a feeling, even when the weather is not the best, the music and the people are worth everything...
