about
The song is an imagining of the last few hours in the lives of the twenty-one Chinese migrant workers who died in 2004, either by drowning or from exposure, when cockle picking in Morecambe Bay. Their experience is dramatised in Nick Broomfield’s powerful film ‘Ghosts’, that follows them through the shadowlands of agency work around the country and exploitation by gang masters, until their terrible fate as they are left stranded and trapped by the notoriously dangerous Morecambe Bay tides. It is also a treatment of the traditional sea shanty, ‘Captain Kidd’, reflecting common themes in shanties of separation from home and loved ones, and vulnerability to the elemental forces of nature. These seem particularly relevant to the lives of migrant workers and refugees.
