Up jumped the herring, the queen of the sea,
She sang out, “Old Skipper, o, you can’t catch me.”
Chorus (after each verse):
In this windy old weather, stormy old weather,
When the wind blow, we’ll all pull together!
Up jumped the mackerel, with spots on his back,
He sang out, “Old Skipper, you’re on your own track.”
Up jumped the sprat, the smallest of all,
He sang out, “Old Skipper, come haul your trawl haul.”
Up jumped the crab, with his great long claws,
He sang out, “Old Skipper, you ’ll run her ashore.”
Up jumped the rooker, his back hard and tough,
He sang out, “Old steward, you will bum the duff.”
Up jumped the mackerel, with spots on his back,
He sang out, “Old Skipper, come square your main tack.”

The Sinking of the Titanic (1969-)
by Gavin Bryars (with Philip Jeck & Alter Ego)
Of all the versions of Gavin Bryars' seminal work, The Sinking of the Titanic, I think that this is my favourite. The late Philip Jeck's turnable work here is exquisite - check it out!

Spring Bloom in the Marginal Ice Zone
by Jana Winderen
Jana's field recording work is stunning, and this record hits home on so many levels, not least in relation to the devastating effects of climate change.
