Whilst sailing in the perilous waters off Antarctica looking for a safe harbour, Captain Feedback and his shipmates, the S.O.S Wave Band stumbled across the Isle of Whales and anchored in Jawbone Cove. Finding a warm welcome in Framheim, the crew sang for their supper of raw fish by the light of the guttering oil lamps. On the arduous journey home to their beloved France, their vessel 'La Femme Vigoureuse' encountered terrible storms off the Cape of Good Hope where all on board feared for their lives. The tape of the hastily recorded shanties was put into a tarred barrel and tossed overboard. The ship endured and returned to port safely but for decades, the crew had no knowledge that the tarred barrel was being carried by gulf streams and ebbing tides until it beached at Ramsgate...the home of Ramrock Records. The rest, as they say, is history.

Captain Feedback recalls:

“I was on a boat when, late at night, when the bulkhead door yawned open and a sinewy, tattooed arm shot out of the darkness, dragging me into a tiny, cramped radio cabin. The radio operator was beside himself with a deranged air and in a strangled tone said, ‘Listen, listen to that’, jabbing the air with his gnarled, arthritic finger. The ancient radio set emitted a faint, crackling S.O.S signal. He stared wildly into my face and shook me by my shoulders and said 'That’s a mayday on the S.O.S wave-band which is only activated in dire emergencies. Someone, out on that dark sea, is going down - to the bottom they're bound. I’ve spent 30 years at sea, and that’s the first time I've ever heard it – you and God are my witness. And so, the name for the band was born”

Remastered by Darren Morris at North Street West Studio and sung by Captain Feedback accompanied by his seafaring companions – the S.O.S Wave Band, these sea shanties are best served with the darkest rum and the strongest of constitutions. Avast me hearties.....
