Shot at the 2010 Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival. David Coffin leading the crowd and some folks from the audience in "Haul Away Joe" Shot by videographer Stephan Smith of Piscataqua Productions
He's telling a lesson. He teaches the folk to do a "long haul" shanty they pull in time after 30 secs training through a song.. That's how they rolled, or pulled back in the day. "What shall we do with the drunken sailor," is a short haul shanty.. Different rhythms for different jobs. All about keeping time. I love this.
@@MrTalkingCorn Maybe if you try to get more into Shantys, Do yourself a favor, and try to hear some "calll & response" songs from chain gangs. (Would be more interessting if it where older, but thats as old as it gets with audio. :D) There is an interessting simmilarity... ;)
@@weeeeee831 The most common would be the halyard rigging. Basically pulling up the main sail. One of the reasons this would be done is in preparation for a storm.

aw come one guys the woman was really sweet I think for actually participating like HE WANTED TO. He asked and no one answers, so she just volunteered and now everyone says 'she annoys them.' That's so odd to me. And her not actually 100% pulling the rope is probably because of back problems, at one point in the video she I think tells him she can't do it like that so 'she will do it like this.' She just acts confident, but thats totally fine, more power to her.
Yeah, I liked her too. I'm a rennie at Texas Ren Fest, as well as several others, and audience participation is crucial to many of the acts at these types of shows.
She's great! She has a tag on, so she's a festival volunteer. She jumped in because nobody else did; way to break the ice for others and not leave David hanging. She looks very self-conscious in the beginning; I'd say not accustomed to public performance. She spends most of her time watching David closely, probably worried that she hasn't got the movements quite right. But her joy once she settles in is wonderful.
Your man with the notepad at 2.25 makes me die. Yep. I'm hauling, I'm hauling. Hold on, I'm just writing this shit down. 'Dear Aunt Louise, since you moved to Australia, things have picked right up here in Portsmouth. Kevin is feeling much better and Sarah has a new job. Hold tight. *does hauling arms.* So yeh, it's all good news. How's Adelaide? Working on the suntan? It's a bit grey here back in Blighty. Oop. Hold on. Two secs. *does hauling arms*
+Pickens Incorporated Ah I wasn't criticising, it just made me laugh. I think the video is great. I know it's at a folk festival so it's not exactly a random crowd but they sound great. Nice to see some positive music.
+kingofblades Not sure I'm clear what you mean. I've been pretty clear i wasn't insulting anyone. I've really enjoyed the music since finding it. It just made me laugh a little. Also can you clear up what you mean by his 'predecessors'? Do you mean everyone who's ever lived before him? I'm a little unclear. I had a little look at your profile to try and guess what you meant. Was is a misunderstanding? I see your favourited videos are 'Overwatch . Rip Butt'. , 'New Nigerian Queen of Vagina' and 'Milo explains why you're all wrong about anti semitism' I'd love to know more about what you can share with me about my predecessors, and his, and well, I suppose everyones. Nice to meet you I cant wait for the enlightenment to strike. (Dont worry theres no zombies, its not Fox New's) Like the Hat in the profile pic btw it suits you very well. You look very gallant. If you get a chance please fill me in a bit more on British and World Folk sea shanty traditions. Let me tell you I'm an empty cup just waiting to be filled. I'll be voting for Trump too. Well I wont but let's hope all our antecedents are.
This man is amazingly charismatic. I saw his Roll The Old Chariot performance and am on the hunt for more like it. You can put this guy just about anywhere in the world with a crowd and everyone would be having a good time. Would love to be walking down the street and see this. It just makes you want to be apart of it.
Love every part of this! David Coffin is the guy everyone wants to know and the participants great sports. Any criticisms written below are people who have lost their Joie de vie!

What's interesting about this is that's probably just about enough maritime culture and 'nautical mindedness' in Portsmouth that when he said, 'raise your starboard hand' (about 1:30) most people knew which hand he meant.

+Allen Straka Actually, if they were pulling ropes she would have the better form. She's dropping her weight onto the rope instead of straining her arms.
1:20 well if he could restrain himself from mimicking stereotypical "girly" mannerisms in an attempt at making misogyny funny, that would be greatly appreciated
@@em-jd4do I agree with you that the people calling her annoying are wrong but I don't really see how him making a joke about acting "girly" is bad? It's a halyard shanty meant to be sung by men working on ships, it definitely not meant to sung in anything less than a loud strong voice. He's just having a little fun while at the same time correcting them.
what booming voice this man has, just stunning

2:28 When you have an English essay due tomorrow but someone started playing sea shanties
This took me a moment... 😂
HAHA

Hahahahahaha nice
Guy might have failed his essay but enjoyed an A+ sea shanty.
👍🙂
Honestly, He has an amazing pair of pipes I'm almost jealous.

Her attitude was wholesome, her inability to follow instructions was less so.
She's great! She has a tag on, so she's a festival volunteer. She jumped in because nobody else did; way to break the ice for others and not leave David hanging.
She looks very self-conscious in the beginning; I'd say not accustomed to public performance. She spends most of her time watching David closely, probably worried that she hasn't got the movements quite right. But her joy once she settles in is wonderful.
watching this clip for years. Still love it
I fucking love sea shanties

Love his energy
I love this guy!!:D:D I saw in in the"Roll the old chariot" and I want to visit such festival from now on :D

I'm using this for my boy scout camp skit with my troop... thank you David Coffin
I would love to go to one of these. All the excited energy would make me giddy

Woops I clapped and cheered sitting in my living room :))))

Why couldn't I have discovered this at more social hours

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant ! :D

Glad to see a journalist in the crowd ... Or an ethnomusicologist getting down both the words and the choreography.
I swear...I was born in the wrong century..
Love the sea shanties! 😆
That lady is a sweetheart!
Can you come to Portsmouth England our council are destroying our maritime history.maybe you can revive it.

King Louis was the king of France
Before the revolution
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
But then he got his head cut off
Which spoiled his constitution
Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
Way, haul away, we'll haul for better weather

Scottish or British version I guess :3
1:56 is when the song starts.
WOWWWWW
We need this in portugal
Same energy here, overseas, meu caro patrício.

You had to be sailing on a historic tall ship to fully understand the sea shanties
"are your arm broken?" ahahaha
My man, Stephen King doing the right moves. Props.
What a voice. We’ll done me lad
The brits that never left the new land.
best Dad?
Тянем потянем, вытянуть не можем.
Joe
We haul.
youtube rewind
Some kind of oldschool group dabbing.
so many Joes. lol
The woman annoys me for not participating properly.
I'm Him Same
she got a dress on so
i meant it would rip if she "joed" all the way
tf that got to do with anything
breaking the law isn't the same as not participating in a shanty. dumb
Question why does he pronounce revolution like "revolut-shy-on?
thatguy2366 So it would scan and rhyme with "const-it-to-shy-on"
thatguy2366 It's just the way the songs were originally sung back then.
Look at crap pronunciations in todays music for Christs sake!
Because sailors had a tendency to preserve older pronunciations, and the '-tion' ending used to be two syllables.
aye, ye landlubbers jest made 300
1:57
Who is Joe?
Joe mamma
I love the style of the gal
lyrics some 1 pls?
When I was a little boy,
Or so me mother told me,

We'll haul away, we'll haul away together

Once I loved a Kerry girl,
But she was dumb and lazy,
We'll haul away, we'll haul away Joe,
But then I met a Portsmouth* girl,
She really drove me crazy,

+Allen Straka Actually, if they were pulling ropes she would have the better form. She's dropping her weight onto the rope instead of straining her arms.
thats what i was thinking either that. ... or maybe she is just stupid
That woman is triggering me
agreed lmao
just don't let her on board and we'll be fine
smh...crazy cat lady
I don't want to hoist the sails with this women.
No one does lol

No offence, but shanty voices are much better when singularly male.
I'm sorry but over confidence the woman displays annoys me

What part of "New England" do you not understand?
1:20 well if he could restrain himself from mimicking stereotypical "girly" mannerisms in an attempt at making misogyny funny, that would be greatly appreciated
