I sailed on her when I left school at 15 years old

Beautiful ambient lilting vocals and fabulously delivered electric fiddle with a bluesy twist in the middle of this celtic inspired electro-folk groove. The boat is rather nice too! :-) Well done guys!

The images and footage of Marie is set to The Green Boat Hornpipe tune/song written and performed by electro folk / celtic fusion band Aartwork. Marie BA211 is a Scottish herring trawler launched in 1963, fishing mostly out of southwest Scotland. In 2005 she retired from fishing due to the demise of the fishing industry. Since then she has been trying to earn her upkeep as a work boat/business and some of her adventures include towing a 200 ton German gunboat along the south coast, safety vessel duties with a kayak trip from the Netherlands to the UK and a tour bus for Aartwork's gigs in Holland/Belgium. This video tells some of the story from when she was launched in November 1963. We hope you enjoy the music and images.
