Headscarves & Hurricanes by Joe Solo
This album tells the story of Hull's fishing industry against the backdrop of the Triple Trawler Tragedy of January and February 1968 and the subsequent campaign for safety aboard ship led by Lillian Bilocca and the Headscarf Revolutionaries.
It's a set of songs about a community like no other and how they came to launch the most successful civil campaign of the 20th Century, which has since saved thousands of lives at sea.
It's a love letter to the spirit of a city I will always call home.
