27. "A good submariner is a sleeping submariner" with Tom Lewis
Episode 26
Saturday, 31 August, 2024

Tom Lewis is a brilliant singer and songwriter, and has written so many well-known and loved songs including “The Last Shanty”, “Marching Inland” and “Sailor’s Prayer”. Like Cyril Tawney before him, Tom is also a former submariner with the Royal Navy having spent years circling the arctic in diesel-electric submarines during the Cold War. We caught up with Tom in between performances on his recent tour of Southern Ontario to talk through his life story, his influences, his time on subs, and of course, his famous songs. With a special singing appearance by the Bytown Sea Shanty Collective. ⚓︎ Find out more about Pressgang Mutiny here: - pressgangmutiny.com - facebook.com/pressgangmutiny - TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram: @pressgangmutiny
