Tracks 7 to 10 constitute RIME, a musical narrative inspired by the Triple Trawler Tragedy of 1968 that saw 58 fishermen from Hull lose their lives in treacherous conditions in Arctic waters.
The songs re-imagine a lost fishing industry in a modern setting, evoking ancient folk-lore, superstitions and urban myths before repatriating the lost souls back to their home city. RIME was commissioned for John Grant’s North Atlantic Flux Festival as part of the Hull City of Culture celebrations of 2017.
