Although bully in the alley was already my favourite shanty,you made it my favourite forever.Has been a year since listening to you ,your instrument and your beautiful voice.Thanks for this :)
I've listened to many versions of this song, including about twelve here on TH-cam over the last hour, and yours just went to my #1! That was fantastic! You've got a spectacular voice! :)
So you call these things here "Chips"? Instead of Crispity Cruncy Munchie Crackerjack Snacker Nibbler Snap Crack N Pop Westpoolchestershireshire Queen's Lovely Jubily Delights? That's kinda cringe, innit bruv?
Really great cover. one of the best shanty's. The acordion that you use in the video. What is the price of one? Also what type is it? i have started researching acordions so thats why i ask. Thank you.
Hi! What I'm playing is a type of accordion called a melodeon. The particular model I'm playing here is called a Lilliput, which is a vintage model Hohner used to make. This particular melodeon plays in the keys of C and F, which fits my singing range well. My other melodeon is in the keys of D and G, because most English folk music is in these keys. This melodeon cost £300, but it needed retuning which cost another £300. If you want to find out more about the melodeon, and how it's different from other accordions and concertinas, I'd recommend the website melodeon.net. They even have a forum for buying and selling melodeons.
I'm using a pocket zoom sound recorder, which works well, although because I'm recording the melodeon and vocals at the same time I'm afraid the acoustics of the room let it down. If I recorded my voice and the melodeon separately I'd get a better sound (though still not ideal) but that would be more work and more of a produced sound
I'm on a sea shanty addiction and you nailed it. Great work. I love the accordion
I secretly love this kind of music 😂
Me too!😂
I have to say, this is one of the best versions I've heard, many of the others just don't hit my ears well, but this one feels right!
Thank you! I'm hoping to put together some more shanty videos soon :)

Sounds good!
I wish you got more view for this, this is amazing. Thank you so much for putting it on youtube!
Wow its very good folk cover :)
I love the rhythm and dynamic in your version
I’d never heard you sing before Huw. It’s simply beautiful. A mellifluous tone and extremely listenable to.
Aww thanks, glad you like it :)
I think the lilliput suits that that shanty
This is verry good! I usually dislike instruments in folksong, but this is just neat!
I love this, great job!
Thank you, glad you like it :)
Red, white, green from left to right.. done on purpose? Either way looks cool and great bellows control mate

Thanks for this masterpiece bro
I really liked it, and I'm a music snob.
This is so cool that you did it on the accordion
You'r bellow control is really good, I'm not even close to playing so dynamically
Aww thank you! :)

@@huwadamson Thank you replying and for the information Have a great month.
This is already pretty cool, if you did it with a better microphone, it'd be at it's best.
