Aye, it's usually the Irish that get the accolades for singing but there's plenty of us Scots who can hold a melody. Even the English can weave a decent shanty

Just can’t stop smiling for this young man.
He is so grounded and so humanly. I hope, that he stays that way, also when he is more into music business. There are so many strange musicians out there. I just hope, that Nathan Evans stays the way like he is. #SupportNathanEvans
I wish him loads of success. Love the scottish accent. Lovely voice. Hope he never loses that sunny nature.
This young man is an example for us all. In spite of his success, he is still a lovely young man, prepared to take whatever comes his way with equanimity and a smile. On tour or delivering mail, it's all good. He will hopefully have a very long and happy life.
It’s not the song. It’s his voice. I’ve heard the song sung by others and it was alright. It’s his voice that effects me.

The accent improves that song by a considerable margin. It's incredible, it feels more raw in a way
Im particularly charmed by him because he can actually carry a tune, here and in other interviews / talk shows - no auto-tune or other digital enhancements needed!
I do not understand a word he is saying but im smiling anyway because i just know its wholesome 😁
He's done amazing job for the music world, sailors, sea dogs, scouts and many others. He brought shanties back to its proper fame. And for that we're forever grateful and wishing him worldwide career with his albums.
Some people are just born to be a star. Love his singing.
Sometimes it's just the simple shit that works. I wish him the best - he certainly brought a lot of joy to the world.
This man’s voice is made for sea shanties
A voice like honey and a heart like gold.
Top man. Just the man the world needs to set a trend. Humble and to the point. Enjoying the journey.
Met him a couple of times in Airdrie and he is a very talented, humble and respectful young man. Continued success from George Street Nathan and happy new house for you and Holly.

Well done to you. It’s been a lonely life on land let alone at sea. But it’s made me smile and tap on my steering wheel while driving around delivering food to the elderly. Wishing you well and keep doing what you want to make you feel happy xx
Good luck to you Nathan for every aspect of your life.being your grandma I will always support you and love you unconditionally as I have always done. X x x
Nathan deserves it with his great singing and songs he sings
Glad this young man tapped in to the universal appeal that sea shanties have.
I hope this kid becomes a huge multimillionaire!!!👍🏻
Humble Scottish lad. Deserves it.
Saw him at Godiva Festival last year. One of my highlights
No wonder. The song is so sweet. I loved it almost immediately. Thought I already love sea shanties.

Five months later, he's signed on with the big boys in Los Angeles. Once his recording contract in the UK is over, he's headed over here. WELCOME HIM FELLAS!
Well done Nathan! Steven Colbert on the late night show is a big sea shanty fan too.
Nice guy having nice voice. Wellerman is my favorite song now
If one has such talent... ❤your life was just waiting to change
That’s so cool
For once, a tiktok talent that actually deserves the fame.
Dear Nathan, Congratulation...🎧👍

@@babakpersian I won't argue with your experience, because I can't judge it. But I heard on several channels, mostly white Americans living in Germany, that they experienced scary stares in Germany as well. To Germans, this is a normal thing and they don't even realize it. Only knowing it and comparing it with other countries, it becomes obvious. Again, not arguing with you, just trying to make aware that it might be partly normal behavior and partly because of your skin color.

@@TheSwedishRider I understand what you're saying. Somehow both of us are right. I heard it too. They normaly are champions at staring. But based on our experiences things are more intensive against some specific groups. Long story short, just imagine how a victim of a crime would stare at the criminal who did that crime. It's this kind of staring. Anyway Good luck 🤞

@@babakpersian I'd like to share a story with you: A white friend of mine was in the Berlin U-Bahn with her very dark skinned African boyfriend. It was summer and he wore a tank top, so you could see a lot of his skin. They were cuddling when they noticed an old German woman staring at them. They pretended not to notice it, so the woman kept staring for a couple of minutes. He gets more and more annoyed and finally asks her aggressively why she is staring. The old woman is shocked and stumbles "because... because you look so beautiful". It's really hard to tell sometimes, as smiling and being friendly to strangers (e.g. the way Americans are) is considered being superficial by Germans. Now, I am convinced that you get stares that are exactly what you think you are: Racist stares! But there are others that look similar but aren't. I don't dare guessing the amount, the real racist stares are bad enough and I understand that the other ones that aren't, but potentially could be, are annoying just the same. Anyway it's late, all best for you!
