About this event

Band of Brothers song launch event, raising funds for The Fishermen's Mission.

An acoustic gig, exclusive premiere of the music video (filmed in Newlyn) & fundraiser for The Fishermen’s Mission.
This song is a story of loss in the fishing community and was written by Dorian Arnold who is the Aunt of JR’s Mandolin player/vocalist – Sammantha.

It describes the heartbreak of people not returning from sea and tells the tale of those left behind.

‘Throughout the ’90s, I dated a Newlyn man, an ex-fisherman, & I spent a lot of time with the close-knit fishing community there. The loss of the Margaretha Maria with all 4 of it’s crew haunts me still, & I am reminded of those sad days every time I hear a news report of another missing boat somewhere off the shores of the UK. Those lost boats, their crews, the grieving families & friends are what inspired me to write this song.’ – Dorian Arnold (songwriter)

The music video – filmed in Newlyn by Firejam Productions) features Jolon Williams, whose father was one of the lives lost on the Margaretha Maria.

All physical and digital download sales of the song will be donated to The Fishermen’s Mission to their cause of supporting fishing communities throughout the uk.
