Sailor Song: The Shanties and Ballads of the High Seas
Raise the mainsail for a rollick through a shipload of shantiesFrom the earliest of voyages seafarers have sung, be they homeward bound or rolling in a merciless sea to an unknown horizon. The shouts and cries of these sailors’ shanties provided a musical rhythm to their work and such ‘concerted’ efforts improved efficiency as anchors were raised, sails hoisted, and bilge water pumped. Boredom was allayed, concentration increased, and the stamina-sapping agonies were borne on a melody.
In Sailor Song acclaimed writer, playwright and musician Gerry Smyth presents the words and music of some 40 ‘heaving or hauling’ working shanties and 10 off-duty sea songs and ballads. The meanings and history of each song is revealed alongside thematic sections exploring celebrated shantymen, song types and traditions as well as the influence these songs have had on the folk music movement, rock music and the modern shanty revival.
The volume is illustrated with specially commissioned artworks by popular folk artist Jonny Hannah alongside many previously unpublished artworks from the holdings of the British Library.

Take Nothing For Granted: Tales from an Unexpected Life
‘Jaw-dropping experiences’ – THE SUN
***
Readers are also LOVING Take Nothing For Granted . . .
‘So so good! Am listening to the audio book and your stories are funny and fascinating!!’ – READER REVIEW
‘From the opening chapter I was hooked’ – READER REVIEW
‘this is a great book, its funny and moving all at the same time’ – READER REVIEW
‘Got it in audio . . . Ross’s voice just melts’ – READER REVIEW
***
‘These are the stories of some of the things that have happened to me: the funny things, the scary things, the exciting things; the things that have made me who I am. I don’t want to start at the beginning and tell them in chronological order because that’s not the way my brain works. And this certainly isn’t going to be one of those books of life lessons . . .
‘I’ve always been passionate about finding and telling stories. And now, for the first time, here are mine.’
Famous for his portrayal of TV hardman Grant Mitchell and as the maker of documentaries exploring the most dangerous people and places on the planet, BAFTA-winning Ross Kemp is one of the UK’s best known TV stars. Here, Ross shares tales from his remarkable life.
From his childhood in Essex, where he used to pretend the woods behind his house were the Amazon rainforest, to finding himself travelling through the real thing thirty years later, Ross’s life has taken many twists and turns. Through it all there’s been no plan, no roadmap, no strategy. Ross has gone from one wild adventure to the next, and never quite felt like he’s fitted in anywhere.
From getting lost at sea to setting a sacred island on fire, auditioning for his part on EastEnders to filming in active war zones across the world, these are the heart-warming, hilarious and hard-hitting stories of some of the unexpected adventures that have happened along the way.
Warm, energetic and endlessly entertaining, it is a fascinating snapshot of a life lived to the full.

‘These are the stories of some of the things that have happened to me: the funny things, the scary things, the exciting things; the things that have made me who I am. I don’t want to start at the beginning and tell them in chronological order because that’s not the way my brain works. And this certainly isn’t going to be one of those books of life lessons . . .
‘I’ve always been passionate about finding and telling stories. And now, for the first time, here are mine.’
Famous for his portrayal of TV hardman Grant Mitchell and as the maker of documentaries exploring the most dangerous people and places on the planet, BAFTA-winning Ross Kemp is one of the UK’s best known TV stars. Here, Ross shares tales from his remarkable life.
From his childhood in Essex, where he used to pretend the woods behind his house were the Amazon rainforest, to finding himself travelling through the real thing thirty years later, Ross’s life has taken many twists and turns. Through it all there’s been no plan, no roadmap, no strategy. Ross has gone from one wild adventure to the next, and never quite felt like he’s fitted in anywhere.
From getting lost at sea to setting a sacred island on fire, auditioning for his part on EastEnders to filming in active war zones across the world, these are the heart-warming, hilarious and hard-hitting stories of some of the unexpected adventures that have happened along the way.
Warm, energetic and endlessly entertaining, it is a fascinating snapshot of a life lived to the full.
