Original recording of WELLERMAN, from 1977. Hit ’SHOW MORE’ for lyrics...
We were down under in New Zealand with the CBC Vancouver crew filming our “The Irish Rovers in New Zealand“ show. Co-Production: CBC & Television One New Zealand
In 1883 the waters around New Zealand were teaming with whales back in the whaling times. The Weller company owned by Weller Brothers of Sydney, was one of the leading firms employing many shore whalers and they were paid in goods while so waiting for the tea and rum to arrive the cry was “Soon May that Wellerman Come!“ The Wellermen, supplied provisions to New Zealand shore whaling stations from their base at Otakou.
New version includes beginning of this recording, then with new verses and singing with present band. On Spotify
Thank you to the television crews in Auckland.
