Live from the Sidmouth Folk Festival as part of 21st Century Folk on Radio 2. Legends of folk write and perform songs inspired by five people with a powerful connection to the sea. We talk to Al Kassim, who was rescued by the RNLI off the coast of Portsmouth and now volunteers for the organisation at their busiest lifeboat station. Seth Lakeman and the Fisherman’s Friends write and perform a shanty inspired by Al’s work. Jeremy examines the power of folk music, tries some morris dancing, talks to campaigners who are worried about sewage in the sea, and discusses second homes and the importance of using cash at the coast.
