Nine of the songs on this album were collected by Percy Grainger in Lincolnshire in 1905 and 1906. Other collectors have been active in Lincolnshire in more recent times, albeit on a smaller scale. In 1957, Ethel Rudkin assembled several singers at her home at Willoughton where they were tape-recorded by Stanley Ellis of the School of English, Leeds University. The Broadside sing five of the songs obtained on that occasion.

LP Sleeve Notes

In the summer of 1984, a unique community theatre project was conceived, when Remould Theatre Company of Hull decided to produce a dramatic portrayal of the lives and work of Humberside’s deep sea trawlermen, with the active involvement of the local community in the creation of the play. With financial backing from Humberside Leisure Services and Lincolnshire and Humberside Arts, and with technical advice and assistance from BBC Radio Humberside, work commenced on the project in May 1985. Over a period of three months, Remould Theatre Company, with help from a team of volunteers, tape-recorded the stories and reminiscences of more than 40 Hull and Grimsby trawlermen and their families. The writers, Rupert Creed and Jim Hawkins, then set to work to produce, from the mass of collected material, a play which would in essence be the trawlermen’s own story, told in their own words.

It was decided at an early stage to include the music in the play, and Grimsby songwriters John Conolly and Bill Meek, well-known on the folk music scene for their ballads of the fishing industry, were commissioned to provide the songs, which are here performed by Bill Meek (vocals), John Conolly (vocals, guitar, melodeon), Will Meek (synthesisers, rhythm) and Paul Bellamy (fiddle, mandolin, vocals), collectively known as Rational Anthem. The fifth member of Rational Anthem, Pete Sumner, could not appear on this album because of educational commitments, but the band are indebted to him for his help with musical arrangements, and for the plaintive “Pete’s Tune which you will hear on this album and in the play.

Most of the music on this album is featured in The Northern Trawl; the song Trawlerman’s Requiem, however, was written shortly after the play was commenced its first, highly-successful tour, and was inspired by the writer’s involvement with the project, and by the trawlerman’s own comments on the decline of the fishing industry.

Hessle Road was written by Keith Marsden of that splendid Yorkshire based folk group “Cockersdale”, and is a fine piece of songwriting lamenting the fragmentation and decline of Hull’s famous community of fisherfolk.

The instrumental medley of Tunes for Two-Day Tycoons was composed for this album by Rational Anthem.

A special acknowledgement must go to the trawlermen and their families whose voices you will hear on this album—to Ray Forsberg, John Scarah, Fred Blackburn, Harry Buckingham, Jack Butterick, John Carlill, Frank Gladding, Alice Harrison and Stan Platten; and to the many other members of the fishing fraternity who contributed so much to the story of their lives and labours told in The Northern Trawl.
