Lucky Lukey's Northsea: Vernacular Song in the Pre-War Cullercoats Fishing Community
2025
Overview
Cullercoats is a village halfway between the resorts of Whitley Bay and Tynemouth on the north-east coast of England. Its main industry once was fishing, with men going out in their cobles from its harbour, while their wives hawked the produce inland at North Shields. Until the invention of the phonograph and onset of the wireless in the 1920s, music was learned elsewhere and reproduced in the home, at work, chapel, or church. This article draws on hitherto unexplored manuscript and print sources to chart the repertoire of vernacular song and the singing practices among this community in the period, in particular up to the end of the First World War, before the age of the wireless and phonograph.
