Mixed Cargo by Tom Lewis
MIXED CARGO comprises glances backwards, forwards, and sideways — I've had several repertoires over the years. This venture has afforded me the much prized opportunity to actually record some of my most cherished memories - singing with my old mates Johnny Collins and Jim Mageean and the irrepressible (and irresponsible) LONG FELT WANT: Bernard Potter, Sooty Broughton and Pete Watkinson. I've greatly enjoyed all the singing on this album. I hope you will too - and I hope you'll sing along.

I am rubbish at ‘blowing my own trumpet’ (he said, modestly). However; one publication said:
‘After 24 years at sea; Tom's repertoire—from traditional shanties to songs fashioned out of his own seafaring background—recruits his audience for a voyage by turns reflective, dramatic and humorous; with songs that have become folk standards; known and sung wherever great choruses ring out.’
