Kris Drever - Scapa Flow 1919 - Live From Glasgow 2022

This is taken from an online show at Gloworm Recording in Glasgow. With Rachel Lightbody on vocals, Euan Burton on Bass and Louis Abbott on Vocals and Guitar. I wrote the song as part of a commission for a BBC Radio Ballad on the Great War. It's about the scuttling of the German High Fleet in Orkney in 1919. Because I was writing it about the same time as the Brexit discussion was at it's peak I felt drawn to write from the point of view of an ordinary German sailor.
