There may be nothing new under the sun, but happily it’s still fun to see younger generations rediscover old things and show them to us in a new light,

Before Christmas I was struggling to convince some of my yachting journalist peers that they should be paying attention to the TikTok social media platform, which has recently rocketed in popularity. I suggested they follow

Please, for the love of God, no more sea shanties


Please, for the love of God, no more sea shanties
Listen up, landlubbers! Things are really getting out of sand. If we
do all need our fix of Celtic tunes, how about we make Irish fiddle music go viral instead?
I was watching
BBC Breakfast this week, because I’m very intelligent and grown-up and also my hatred for Piers Morgan 1.0 was bad enough, but now that the beleaguered ham has started to sometimes be on the right side of a debate for popularity and
get credit for it, I hate him even more, so I can’t watch
Good Morning Britain. But I digress.

Covid: Pressure to reopen schools continues, and Moderna jab 'works against variants'


BBC News

1. No guarantee schools will reopen before Easter
The government will give a timetable for when pupils in England can go back to school "as soon as we can", Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said - but there's no guarantee schools will reopen before April's Easter break. Amid concerns for children's education and wellbeing - as well as parents saying they're "knackered and confused" by home schooling - the PM said he understood why people want a timetable, but that he doesn't want to lift restrictions while the coronavirus infection rate remain "very high". In a Downing Street news conference, Health Secretary Matt Hancock added that the pressure on the NHS remains "relentless" with more Covid patients on ventilators in the UK now than at any time in the pandemic. So, what could allow schools to reopen?

WATCH: Isle Of Wight Grandfather's Covid-Inspired Sea Shanty Goes Viral
By Oliver Dyer
An Isle of Wight grandfather has gone viral after writing - and singing - a sea shanty to encourage people to have a COVID-19 vaccine.
82-year-old Martyn Waitt, from Shalfleet, said he was worried that misinformation might stop people having the coronavirus jab.
The founder and leader of the Shalfleet Shanty Singers, who has a life-long passion for sea shanties, wrote and recorded his own version of the trending ‘Wellerman’ shanty.
Motivated by the recent resurgence of interest in shanties on TikTok, Martyn posted videos of himself singing sea shanties at the weekend.
