Hiya, I'm from south west Cornwall (uk) - also known as Pirate Central :) Cornwall is a celtic nation, sharing lots of our cultural heritage with Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Brittany, as opposed to England. A lot of Cornish music is maritime in nature and quite shanty-ish. There's a local shanty called Newlyn Reel (Plethyn Lulyn in Cornish) that starts slow and increases incrementally. Local fishermen used to dance to it and the band i'm in plays it as one of our regular tunes. I'll post some links to it below :)
This is us playing it at Montol (our midwinter festival)

And a slightly less chaotic rendition

Also a shanty called 'Lamorna' is sung at most pubs and get togethers here (named after a local village). Fishermen's Friends do an excellent rendition of it

Here's a free lesson on another great tune:
fiddlehed.com/courses/irish-fiddle-lessons/fishermans-blues-solo/
This song has alot of history. Its derivative of Oro Se Do Bheatha Bhaile, which has two versions itself. One is about a Celtic pirate queen, It's cool stuff! Maybe she's the drunken sailor 🤔
Hi Jason, you said this is on the Fiddlehed site. I can't find it -- can you point me in the right direction?
You may enjoy the move "Fisherman's Friends" if you are liking Sea Shanty's
Thanks Dave...another student recommended it, and I saw a UA-cam clip. They sound GREAT.
What key Am or Em ?

At 64, I just started playing. I find your lessons to be very helpful. Love the way you break the tunes down to parts. What you said in this lesson hit home - I tend to bite off too much at a time and need to focus more on micro practice. I will definitely be checking out your web site, Fiddlehed!
Yes Chord BAck Up!! Please....
Thanks for this request. Glad you're tuning in :)
