“An entertainment which celebrates the sea poems of John Masefield, published in 1902 under the same title. At the time some critics argued that the poems were vulgar and lacked poetic quality, while others commended them for their insight into the seafarer’s life and a haunting quality which belied their apparent simplicity. Andy Kenna has set a number of the poems to music and by interspersing them with readings from the reminiscences of sea farers of the sailing ship era, invites the listeners to judge for themselves the artistic quality and authentic flavour of Masefield’s Work.”
“The CD is essential listening for all Masefield fans.”
Peter Carter – Chairman of the John Masefield Society
