Bold Reilly (or Riley)

These guys (‪@pressgangmutiny9639‬ ) are after some more subscribers, if you like shantys please consider helping them out:    • Live at the Connecticut Sea Music Museum (...   This song was sung by David Jones at about 17 minutes in the video above.

I found the link to Eleanor Rathbone (and her story) fascinating: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor... https://news.liverpool.ac.uk/2016/03/... https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-m... There are many many recordings of this song, but Kate Rusby does my favourite:    • Bold Riley - Kate Rusby   Mudcat discussion on the origins: https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadi...
