Singing the Fishing
Singing the Fishing is a musical play based on Ewan McColl’s sixties BBC radio broadcast of the same name.
Following on from Crude Apache’s sell-out show at the Maddermarket about the Norfolk Broads: At the Turning of the Tide, the company will take the audience out to sea and into the world of the herring fishing industry from 1892 to the nineteen-sixties.
Using all of MacColl’s original songs and based on the original musical direction by Peggy Seeger, the company weave music and narrative together into a gripping and enchanting tale of man’s battle against the elements, the sea, the vagaries of capitalist marketplaces and two world wars.
Singing the Fishing is a human story of joy, triumph and tragedy, with a large ensemble cast and a multi-instrumental acoustic band, led by Norwich’s own Punch House Band, bringing the music and story to vivid and dramatic life.
