The Esso Northumbria was an enormous oil tanker built at Wallsend by state commission to carry crude oil from the Persian Gulf around Africa to Britain in response to the Suez Crisis and Egypt denying British ships access to the Suez Canal. Her design was effectively a scaled-up version of existing designs, which introduced a number of unforeseen structural problems as she was at the time the largest ship ever constructed in Britain. She was also constructed on a tight budget to a fixed-price contract, and there were major cut corners in her construction. The story told in the song, of an oil spill and fire at sea, never actually happened. However, the Northumbria required frequent repairs and only served for 12 years before being retired due to fears of a minor spill. She was broken up in Taiwan starting in 1982, followed by her Sister ship Hibernia not long after.

Any time I listen to his rendition of Foggy Dew I remember getting my ass kicked by the pitch shifts in my voice class. So I sang Fischia il Vento instead.

I just want to pay a moment of respect for the Irishman who had to sing about how he loves the British Empire without visibly cringing. That’s an almost impossible feat! Kudos.

For those that might not know, this song was written about the Esso Northumbria, an Esso Corporation oil tanker that was launched in 1969 and broken up in 1982.

The lyrics if you want them (I just copy and pasted from google): 'Twas late '65 at the old Wallsea Yard Where she was commissioned to haul the black tar We built the Northumbria there on the bar Roll Northumbria, roll For when the Egyptians they closed the Red Sea The call came on high from the powers that be To build a royal monster right down the quay Roll Northumbria roll, me boys Roll Northumbria, roll Carpathia Vengeance Celestial call She was the tanker to outsize 'em all From the banks of the Mersey To the port of Hulal Roll Northumbria, roll And fair princess Anne threw a bottle of wine And watched as the giant set down in the Tyne What lay ahead could no mortal divine Roll Northumbria roll, me boys Roll Northumbria, roll And it's one for the hot sun above Two for the empire we love And it's three for the fire that burns down below Roll on Northumbria Roll Northumbria, roll So come all you good workman Beware the command That comes down on high from the desk of a man Who's never held steel or torch in his hands Roll Northumbria, roll For atop a wild breaker the cracks in her frame Spilled her black guts all across the wild main She limped away through an ocean of flame Roll Northumbria roll, me boys Roll Northumbria, roll And it's one for the hot sun above Two for the empire we love And it's three for the fire that burns down below Roll on Northumbria Roll Northumbria, Roll

Funny, that's the opposite sort of environment from where shanties originated. They were originally devised as a way to keep sailors (and other work crews) motivated and in-step (when that mattered). Nowadays, of course, the term evolved to encompass a far wider variety. 'Roll Northumbria' is a great example of that broadening, given how slow and chill it is (at least, as performed by the Dreadnaughts - Colm might hit us with a curveball and crank up the tempo) compared to something like 'Drunken Sailor' or 'Fish in the Sea'.

So happy to hear a much deeper and grittier song than what you usually do. This is a great fit for your talents!

Well, that was incredible. Not that I expected it to be otherwise.🧡

One dragon slayer to rule them all, and Colm is his name! Great story telling and arrangement/cover sir!

Beautifully haunting! Well done, Colm!

I was not ready for 2:31!! That shook me!!

Please make a spotify version of this. i love your version the most

Plot twist: This whole channel is not actually one dude, its a band of identical twins

I haven't had goosebumps like this in a while

Is it just me, or is his voice getting deeper? If so, that scares and amazes me equally.

I admire Colm's dedication to cable knit sweaters.

Jesus that drop at 2:30. Made my entire body quiver a bit.

Colm, your vocal range never ceases to impress. That low note at 2:31 floored me it was so damn deep and mighty. Keep doing what you are, because you have a gift my man!

That low note really sounded more like a metal growl than just a low note. Amazing! =D

Loving this new color and smoke theme!

At least, like, 50 of these views are just me listening over and over and over 😍😍😍

Built in 1969, The Esso Northumbria was once the largest oil tanker in the world with a beam of 170'. She truly was a royal monster.

Thank you so much for covering this one. Ever since I heard the version by The Dreadnoughts I've been wanting an epic cover of it, and between the instruments and your stellar voice, you have absolutely nailed that epic vibe I envisioned. Definitely a new favourite.

When you hit that Eb1 at 02:31, you do a grand impression of a double bass; first time I've heard a human voice do that.

I live near the Tyne myself, in Northumbria. This song is ever so nice.

Can you do a 2022 version for the wellerman? I would be so excited! The addition of the instruments in the newer sea shanties is EPIC! Also, can you do Davy Jones theme as tavern music? Please!

I love when you scrunch your brow, you get that V line! Maybe you don't so it doesn't feel like a compliment, but I do mean it as one. I love listening to your "old" songs as much as the new ones.

Love your harmonies and range. Amazing cover, amazing work as always!

Would love to see you cover some of the Bards Tale 4 OST tunes.. they're beautiful Scottish Gaelic songs! Maybe "Iain Ghlinn Cuaich", "Cha D' fhuair mi'n Cadal" or "Am Braigh Uige"

I can't even describe how fired up this makes me feel. Hits me right in me bones! Just outstanding!
