Singing the Fishing

Using all of MacColl’s original songs and based on the original musical direction by Peggy Seeger, the company weave music and narrative together into a gripping and enchanting tale of man’s battle against the elements, the sea, the vagaries of capitalist marketplaces and two world wars. Singing the Fishing is a human story of joy, triumph and tragedy, with a large ensemble cast and a multi-instrumental acoustic band, led by Norwich’s own Punch House Band, bringing the music and story to vivid and dramatic life.The show is dedicated to the memory of Ewan, the generosity of Peggy and the legacy of the fishermen of Great Yarmouth and the East Coast.
