I first heard this duo at Hull Sea Fever on 21st August 2004 and was captivated by their
harmonies and the quality of their song writing - particularly the first and ninth tracks.
Although not all the tracks relate to the sea, nevertheless it should be part of anyone's
collection for those tracks relating to the fishing industry. I have nearly worn out my
copy of the CD already!
