Please would you change your subtitle to recognise that this song was originally penned in 1972 by the late great Cyril Tawney, a man of the Royal Navy and later a fine shantyman. The@ Grey Funnel Line" is slang for the Royal Navy". Other great singers like Tabor, Prior (and now indeed Onomatopeia!) have covered it beautifully ... but it's Cyril's work.
This is a brilliant performance - if you were to send this to Maddy Prior, I'm sure she would love it. Not that I know this from personal experience, but she seems like one of the nicest people. Great work!!!
This is gorgeous! I am getting ready to sing this with my partner; we are using this a cappella arrangement, but we never heard the other low back-up parts before . I can't wait to show him! he will love this.
Hey, I just want to say - that was a brilliant perfomance of Grey Funnel Line. Great use of voices and kept the feeling of the song - well done, really :)

Excellent rendition of a Cyril Tawney classic
And such a pretty set of Choristers, too!
