Album Notes

As a very young man, Tony Latimer discovered the ocean, sailing and the music that accompanies such a life - sea shanties and "forebitters" – before expanding those horizons to encompass multifarious genres; from country swing, to Hawaiian, to Celtic.

Tony is a professional sailor and boat builder; as well as a top-notch musician, songwriter and arranger. His music has been influenced by many, diverse ports-o’-call. Island rhythms and flavours blend seamlessly with those of the road and the workplace.
