Aall Together Like the Folks 'o Shields
Last updated: 22.01.22
Aall Together Like the Folks 'o Shields was collected by John Stokoe in 1893 and included in his
Songs and Ballads of Northern England. It pays homage to the pride and strength of the community spirit prevailing in
North and
South Shields and especially of
wor pilots, sailors, life brigade, boatmen and fishermen who are
the finest cheps afloat as the song goes. Great stuff indeed!
This song may be found in the Tyneside Maritime Chorus songbook but not yet in my personal repertoire
