I have listened to this song multiple times and I decided to read the summary of the channel. I was surprised to find that Joe says that he 'resigned from Kimber's Men in October 2016. I had been very ill that year (nearly dying in May 2016) from Cancer. So after 15 years I was subsequently told I hadn't been missed in the six months whilst I was in hospital and wouldn't be missed in the future. So I'm working solo again and relieved to be out of a band where I was clearly disliked and not wanted.' It seems very harsh how he was treated. I think he really makes this performance what it is - he gets into the character of a crew member etc. I can't readily find information on the internet about the background to the dispute with the band.
Joe was a good un, he sadly didn't know how much he was loved and appreciated. How he left the band was unpleasant, but most certainly on his own terms and of his own making......
It's not Bad... Johnny collin's version, is the best one I've heard... But, Kimber's Men have a few signature tunes that they perform, that are the best I've heard... Notably, "Bully in the alley"...
It’s to make sure he’s in tune. He’s actually curling his ear inward so it catches more sound from the direction his voice is coming from. At least, that’s what it looks like.
@@Jboudathat‘s exactly what he‘s doing. in this style of ensembles you often see people do that to ‚in ear monitor‘ themselves. These environments can be extremely loud and this way you can clearly make out your own voice without the need to sing louder and louder.
Это очень душевно... Ощущение, будто сам сидишь с братанами под небольшим градусом) Надеюсь, все люди в этом видео - живы и здоровы Привет из России P.S. Оставь её, джонни! 😊
Because its about the sailors missing being at sea. The song is them acting as if they wont miss her (the ship) but they always will miss the ship and being at sea. So it would fit for a sailors voyage being through
@@raysie34 Some ships have a musician with a banjo, like the musician that Bligh insisted on having on Bounty - although I don't know whether they had shanties on that ship (probably not).
if this isnt played at my funeral i aint going
... im feeling good today so i wont talk of semantics
Lmao
If it's not, I'm not coming either. Fuck'em for not play'n it!
Sailor Santa is adorable.

Unfortunately, he's passed. Rest in peace, Joe Stead.

Passed away in 2017 unfortunately.

Bravo. This is my favorite shanty and you guys nailed it. Cheers.
That's the best version is heard so far and even better than i could imagine. I want to listen to the Kimbers some day live!

As i know joe stead has passed away :(
@@marlinespikesailorsguild9486 that’s a loser who filters his songs.. this is men raw and honest
Imagine that we AC players meet again and started singing this song
If only we could 🥺
Errmmm you need to get a life..
One day we will
I’ve had this song stuck in my head all day
This shanty breaks my heart every time
Dont leave... come back!
(That was beautiful!)
I wonder how many sailors had this sung at their funeral?
You should listen to Lowlands away (Assassin's Creed IV edition)!
@@christoffer_p6247 ..or these same blokes version ua-cam.com/video/nK9XsybPe28/v-deo.html - lovely
Dude, a sailor's funeral song has to be Fiddler's Green.
He sounds like a rough and tough sailor!
a beautiful and melancholy song
The guy on the far right.. this the same guy that is the lead singer from Bully in the ally?
He has a powerful voice!
Hi , Yes that is John Bromley part of Kimber's Men.
John Bromley. Also sings with his children in 'The Bromleys'.
Realy good and I sang with them last weekend, signed D.R.
Thought the song was about a person, but I soon realized it was about a ship
Its about the British Navy B)
Beautiful.
Hey Guys,.....this is FANTASTIC! ***************
was ein stimmvolumen. klasse
Wonderful 😍
Love it. How come Bromley always covers his ear when singing? Smashing work as usual chaps

great harmony
Que canción me trae muchos recuerdos
*Este
Lever Johnny lever... its time for us to lever
Proper men. You know they can all fix things and have calluses on their hands.

Haha so legendary to see you here NXTmax01 because I saw your video on Bully in the Ally where you tried to get the name xD

Привет из России
P.S. Оставь её, джонни! 😊
Plug yer ear all ye want, ye cannot block my voice from yer brain. Ye shall bow to my depths.
Sounds like there's more than five of them
❤ why are u not posting videos now
Well done.
parish-rigged such a great descriptive..
this video is way underwatched
Why would this song be sang at sailers funeral?
Because its about the sailors missing being at sea. The song is them acting as if they wont miss her (the ship) but they always will miss the ship and being at sea. So it would fit for a sailors voyage being through
Changes of rhythm are a bit confusing !
Good job ol' chaps
A workin' mans song sung by workin' men.
Bloke in the middle won’t set down his drink. Nigga be wildin out y’all.
.75 SPEED
way more bold than the coda's version
lovely
thank god the americans haven't found this yet
Guy on the right could have shown some respect and got off his phone...
Salty sea dogs.
The lead is singing way too fast
Adam aulds das a bike rider
great voices but its too fast paced Johnny collins so far is the greatest one to sing this song
Santa is flat
To fast, not at all how Tom Lewis intended it to be
ac4 black flag
:D best. game. ever. arrr.
Ac rogue
Alex Howarth rogue also is the best
Hell yeah
yes
they forgot their guitars
banjo as well
It’s a sea shanty you can’t play Guitar whilst trimming sails.
