The finale of the concert given in the Lifeboat House during the Deal Maritime Festival on 22nd September 2013. The whole crew led by John Bromley of Kimber's Men.
Bully in the ally refers to a group of sailors out drinking. If one got too drunk (bully) to continue they'd stash them in ally and come back for them later.
That is such a perfect description for it. He manages to be full and powerful, but warm and steady at the same time. What an absolute joy it must be to hear him in person.

@@marazali1816 the chanty was a past time, but also something to break the monotony and increase teamwork between sailors. each song will have a main 'chorus' which is universal, but the verses and lines between the 'universal line' would be very different from ship to ship, and port to port. Some ships would even go further to change the tune. so you probably did hear a version where it was dearly rather than nearly. and further still, there are versions where there was no splicing at all =p
Yeah me n' Bob went and fished some of 'em back aboard, the rest were right jerks so we left em where they was since they went an' scupper'd 'emselves an' wasn't worth the bother
No kidding this is really assume. I've liked this music for years but ddin't find this video till a month ago. Wish they would have done more of the classics. He's got a great voice for this.

I’ll never forget when Kimber’s Men came to my Primary School and we performed with them and then had fish and chips afterwards. Fantastic couple of months or so
The lead singer is great, but props to the tenor for the amazing high-pitch harmony. I like how in the "bully down in Shinbone al" verses his voice becomes stronger and stronger, to the point that when the lyrics reach the word "alley" it completely dominates the harmony -- shadowing even the lead singer. Like at 3:13, for example.

Did you? Then you must be the person who submitted this to musicguru, because that's where I copy pasted it from: musikguru.de/kimber-s-men/songtext-bully-in-the-alley-839939.html
I’m retired US Navy (1999-2019) and I have a deep love for sea shanties. I absolutely love being at sea. I came across this song today at work and can’t stop listening to it. This is amazing. Makes me wanna head to some coastal town in Maine or Halifax (one of my favorite places ever) and drink at a bar on the waterfront and sing songs of the sea with Sailors. I love this. As we say in the US Navy when someone has done something exceptional, “BRAVO ZULU!”
This is quite literally my favourite version of any song that's ever been made. I can't even count the number of people I've shared this with, it's such an excellent rendition and produces the perfect mood. Well done!
I speak for my father when I say "amazing". He was a Captain for the Canadian Coast Guard but also an old salt from a young age, always at sea, and would have appreciated this so much. Enjoy, Captain Stephen Costinak.
No bullshit this is my favorite video on the internet and as a man id like nothing more then to drink and smoke a cigar and sing sea shanties with these folks 🫡
Smileynator i know this is old, and so is your comment, but I just found this. And I’m going insane trying to know what that guys name is. The one with a different pitch, black oat like 3 from the left. If anybody knows, I gots to know plz
Dennie Nooij nope. You can hear his voice loud and clear. Also, in their others songs, where there’s only the main 5 memebers, he still does this same pitch. After searching like a moron, he’s name is Micheal Beeke. He also played the bagpipes. Seems like a cool dude
The question of ‘what it means to be British’ and ‘what is British identity’. This is an example of being British, our ancestors of the navy, something to be proud of and the shanties ooze British identity.

You KNOW it's a good working song when, even when just performing it, the singers can't bear to stand totally still. Absolutely everyone is shifting, bobbing, swaying, you can't stand still here. Even the cameraman!
I’ve been in that alley in Singapore, Hong Kong, Mombasa, Bangkok, Mauritius, the Seychelles, Cochin, Surabaya, Guadalcanal, Vanuatu, aye and a few other places besides

Bully in the ally refers to a group of sailors out drinking. If one got too drunk (bully) to continue they'd stash them in ally and come back for them later.
I thought bully was just a blanket term for soldiering types.
We've all been there..
Bully basically works as a way of saying "of ill health" or feeling sickly.
Drinking to excess definitely fits the term.
Why do they point at each other and laugh half through the song ??
Thank you for this wonderfully enlightening nugget
He absorbed a dragon soul for that shout.

Some people have a voice that can shatter glass, this man has a voice that can crack rock
Have sung in a pub with him, hes John Bromley and the air reverberates around him, its wonderful!
That is such a perfect description for it. He manages to be full and powerful, but warm and steady at the same time. What an absolute joy it must be to hear him in person.
That man has the voice of Poseidon.
Wil Jasso and the guy on the left has the beard of Poseidon. Makes you want to go sign on for a stint as a sailor doesn’t it?
You fool it’s him
It's posiedon in disguise

as well he should!
I've seen people with a voice so high pitched they can break glass, but not until now have i heard a voice so deep it could crack bricks!
Mr BigCookie well said that man. X
The lead on this is amazing. This seems like how a real old pirate/privateer band would sound. Back when I was knocking about in the 1690's
Thanks mayne. Santiano are awsome. Everything always sounds better in german. This is the greatest find since Alestorm.
Between This guys and Jonathan from The Longest Johns entire schoolhouses would crack
Check our Ronnie Drew from The Dubliners. His voice was said to resemble coal being crushed under a door!
Years ago John was standing behind me in a pub singaround, I thought there'd been an earthquake.
2021 and this is still a bop.
A timeless bop
That's how trad music is supposed to work!
bop since 1772
Absolutely timeless...
_Bully_ is definitely my fave sea shanty, and these fellas have the best version in the game
This lead singer, has the voice of a titan, some people might not enjoy the sound of such a voice. But i love powerful voices!!!
i would love to see more shantys with this lead singers voice :)
I agree.
I consider myself lucky to sing with John, he also sings with his son and daughter as 'The Bromleys' they sound like giants. :-)
Anyone who leads this sort of singing wants to do it like this.
Yea you can clearly hear him even when they all start to sing. Lovely voice
I secretly love this kind of music
I won't tell anyone !

What is 'under three o'?
How is this man not world famous?! I’d listen to an album of him just covering whatever songs he wanted.
I would listen to that any day.
He is John Bromley shantyman from a shanty group called Kimbers Men
Indeed, (((how))) is he not world famous.
THEY HAVE MUSIC
ITS CALLED KIMBERS MEN ITS NOT MUCH BUT ITS BEAUTIFUL
“Time to play the best Mario Party of our lives.”
the man's got the voice, the voice of a fellow thats done it.
ramuh456 bois think fucking a gall is achievement. His talking about man stuff.
I enjoy blasting this song on my car stereo and seeing the looks that people toss my way.
Mandela Affected Bloody landlubbers ta ‘hole lot o’ ‘em.
Brilliant. I’ll be doing the same.
Ok so the singing is incredible but let's all agree whoever did the rooster crowing was an integral part of this masterpiece. 😀
Agreed
This guy has a voice that could crack thunder.
thank god for assasins creed to introduce me to all these cool little songs
Right
Same 😂😂😂 me and my little brother sang like Sailors now. Like my Dad
Greatest Man That Ever Lived assassin's Creed? I just sing this stuff for fun
haha so true, that's actually why i'm here
Agreed
That high harmony though
Every bit of the harmony.
ikr
I’ll never forget when Kimber’s Men came to my Primary School and we performed with them and then had fish and chips afterwards. Fantastic couple of months or so
Having fish and chips with them is the most pirate thing in the modern era
Sounds fantastic!
@@commonlogicart1604 Only if there's drinking involved.🍻
With a pint, right?
I'd give anything to be in a pub with these guys right now. #lockdown2021
Amen
Yes
ah the sea stories and beer would flow!
Anything to sing shanties with the boys.
The good ol days
@@therandomdickhead5744 mate you've got the best name 🤣
I feel like he would crush all my knuckles with nothing but a vigorous hand shake
I only found this today and I think I've watched it 50 times already
Me too
I’m probably over 200 after 3 days
I‘m infected aswell
SAME
Me: I won't get drunk, trust me babe.
*Also the boys and I two shots later
DougDoug brought me here. This video has brought me lots of joy since my divorce.
TH-cam: Here, you need to give this a watch.
Me: What is it?
TH-cam: Just click it.
Me: ... TH-cam, can you see into my soul?
Mr Krabs and his old Navy buddies
I hate how accurate this is
I just realised in sponge bob the only branch in the militarily is the navy
There is a reason Britain ruled the waves.. They had catchy songs.
Oi mate catchy chune, innit?
@@PCISLOT Yooo duddee that was a catchy bop brah! Let's go eat some pepperoni pies! Hell yeah! God bless America!
@@PCISLOT TH-cam has a "Translate to English" prompt under your post
The lead singer is great, but props to the tenor for the amazing high-pitch harmony. I like how in the "bully down in Shinbone al" verses his voice becomes stronger and stronger, to the point that when the lyrics reach the word "alley" it completely dominates the harmony -- shadowing even the lead singer. Like at 3:13, for example.
Well said. It’s amazing and you can feel the joy these seafaring warriors have in singing this song.
Which guy is singing those parts, can you tell? I’ve been trying to figure it out forever
@@roberthieber1The guy all in black between vertical stripe and hat man.
yeah you can really tell they know what they're doing
I think it's the guy in the black pea coat two people left of the lead guy
Help me Bob I'm bully in the lockdown
Having a full crew, as it were, to sing makes this rendition great!
When ur playing AC: Black Flag and just cruising around
There’s something fantastic about a bunch o guys of all types and ages singing in perfect harmony. Male bonding at its finest. !
And the lady at the back. Mind you she has a deep voice
Lyrics for sing-along:
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley, Bully down in Shinbone al.

Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley, Wey hey, Bully in the alley.

So!
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley, Wey hey, Bully in the alley.
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley, Bully down in Shinbone al.

There I met with Greasy Artie, Bully down in Shinbone al.
So!
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley, Wey hey, Bully in the alley.
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley, Bully down in Shinbone al.

Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley, Wey hey, Bully in the alley.
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley, Bully down in Shinbone al.

Did you? Then you must be the person who submitted this to musicguru, because that's where I copy pasted it from: musikguru.de/kimber-s-men/songtext-bully-in-the-alley-839939.html
It's greasy Annie not Artie
@Tom Smith Because the lyrics are incorrect.
Absolutely superb. Something sorely needed in these times..
@@EndlessSummer888 Do us a favor and go cry us a river, why don't you?
The Lord Blessed that chantyman with a voice from Heaven itself.
vv
I’m retired US Navy (1999-2019) and I have a deep love for sea shanties. I absolutely love being at sea. I came across this song today at work and can’t stop listening to it. This is amazing. Makes me wanna head to some coastal town in Maine or Halifax (one of my favorite places ever) and drink at a bar on the waterfront and sing songs of the sea with Sailors. I love this. As we say in the US Navy when someone has done something exceptional, “BRAVO ZULU!”
Best sea shanty i have ever heard.
Have you heard David Coffin - roll the old chariot? Another fantastic tune.
@@Carl15O3 yes i did mate. Right, same level.
This makes my heart feel full and warm. That lead singer is a UNIT. Thanks, guys.
What a grand performance! John Bromley has the tone & depth of a well tuned foghorn! (and I mean that as very complimentary)
Capt. John Swallow it almost makes me want to cry it's so pure
Who's here in 2021, the year of the shanty?
shanties for the booois
The best song for peggle speedruns
i as just speedrunning peggle while listening to this, youve got the right idea, my friend
This is quite literally my favourite version of any song that's ever been made. I can't even count the number of people I've shared this with, it's such an excellent rendition and produces the perfect mood. Well done!
The uncut version is better.
@@gregwblank2535 where can we find that?
@@joelaw13 and it was never to be found. 😶🌫
I speak for my father when I say "amazing". He was a Captain for the Canadian Coast Guard but also an old salt from a young age, always at sea, and would have appreciated this so much. Enjoy, Captain Stephen Costinak.
That's a pretty awesome surname you got there. Keep hold of it, good surnames are hard to come by usually
No bullshit this is my favorite video on the internet and as a man id like nothing more then to drink and smoke a cigar and sing sea shanties with these folks 🫡
Mate you can! I have and they are the nicest blokes.
Shantys are the new crack, every day im here, returning like a addict. So wont you help me, playing bully in the alley..
Truly a beautiful rendition of this traditional shanty. The heartiness of this crew cannot be put into words!
What about the heartiness of the gang once get past the murder of each other
@@arthurmorgan9485 Shaddup and start drinking!!🙂
"They have an excellent baritone section... No top tenors though that's for sure"
Lol
zulu
MEEEN OF HARLECH STOP YE DREAMING
Sing dammit, SING
brilliant
Dude probably replaced his vocal chords with an amplifier and trained his diaphragm so it could lift a car
Help me, Bob, I'm stuck in another shanty rabbit hole...
That man’s voice is the stuff of legends.
Morale of the story, I was born 300 years too late.
The fact that they all look like 1200's fisherman makes it 400% better
I yearn for this kind of culture in our modern age. Instant fan. You guys are wonderful and I just love how organic this performance is.
This voice is like a thunder
True
That one guy that pitches differently from all the others really makes this something cool.
Smileynator i know this is old, and so is your comment, but I just found this. And I’m going insane trying to know what that guys name is. The one with a different pitch, black oat like 3 from the left. If anybody knows, I gots to know plz
Isnt it just the voice of the small lady in the back?
Dennie Nooij nope. You can hear his voice loud and clear. Also, in their others songs, where there’s only the main 5 memebers, he still does this same pitch. After searching like a moron, he’s name is Micheal Beeke. He also played the bagpipes. Seems like a cool dude
You mean the guy who sounds like Edward from black flag right?
@@NXTmax01 Thank you!! Saved me a lot of time
Who in their right mind could dislike this video?
May be templars 😂😂😂
the Irish
It impregnated their girlfriends.
Bob, having to come and help his bully friends out of the alley
@@EastEndBen lmao
The question of ‘what it means to be British’ and ‘what is British identity’. This is an example of being British, our ancestors of the navy, something to be proud of and the shanties ooze British identity.
*GUYS ONLY WANT ONE THING AND IT'S DISGUSTING*
Guys:
This type of comradery 👌👍
The council of men approves.
Not all guys, who ever say that is a idiot
Plus this is a really good song

Heritage restored
You KNOW it's a good working song when, even when just performing it, the singers can't bear to stand totally still. Absolutely everyone is shifting, bobbing, swaying, you can't stand still here. Even the cameraman!
The guy on lead has a great baritone voice
+wesmatron Thinking the same - that voice could keep the ship afloat on its own...
+looneytoohey Stick him in the crow's nest to blow the storms away :)
+wesmatron thats an understatement
it's bass
bitch thats not baritone, this is one of the deepest bass guys i've ever heard
Girlfriend: I bet he's hanging out with another girl
*ME AND THE BOYS:*
This is called culture, pure and simple. And it should be protected at all costs!
Please make sure that your traditions are still going strong!
The bell pepper sent me
Friend Bob's voicemail: "Please leave your message after the beep"
Me and the boys..
this is possibly the most jovial melody that exists on earth. can't get it out of my head
"Men only want one thing, and it's disgusting."
THE ONLY THING THESE MEN WANT IS HELP FROM BOB, THEY'RE BULLY IN THE ALLEY!
Who's here thanks to Doug Doug?
My girlfriend told me last night it was the deepest she had ever had. Then she watched this.
😲
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣☠️☠️👻
I’ve been in that alley in Singapore, Hong Kong, Mombasa, Bangkok, Mauritius, the Seychelles, Cochin, Surabaya, Guadalcanal, Vanuatu, aye and a few other places besides
This is a certified DougDoug classic
