Bully in the Alley

The finale of the concert given in the Lifeboat House during the Deal Maritime Festival on 22nd September 2013. The whole crew led by John Bromley of Kimber's Men.

I require assistance Robert, for I am inebriated in a passageway.

Unbelievable that the lead did all this while waiting to get through to his insurance company.

Bully in the ally refers to a group of sailors out drinking. If one got too drunk (bully) to continue they'd stash them in ally and come back for them later.

[hntajsus]

these guys look like they have infinite knowledge on pratical things like fixing a car or fishing etc.

[MrBigCookieCrumble]

I've seen people with a voice so high pitched they can break glass, but not until now have i heard a voice so deep it could crack bricks!

[JonSudano]

Her: he's probably out cheating rn

Me and the boys:

[dorianvey]

The right-most gentleman with the hat looks like the most sailory sailor who has ever sailored.

[hdpasdlol]

And to think he was on his phone the entire time.

[ivankreger]

If this isn’t played at my funeral then I’m not going!

[arnar]

I cant be the only one who has listened to this 1000 times and keep coming back

[jia]

That guy stands on the edge of cliffs and shouts at ships during bad weather.

[rackpunch]

Years ago John was standing behind me in a pub singaround, I thought there'd been an earthquake.

[Lasse]

This lead singer, has the voice of a titan, some people might not enjoy the sound of such a voice. But i love powerful voices!!!

[j.m.]

The guy leading went to the Mariana Trench to find his voice.

[harrisond]

Absolutely a tribute to these men that after all these years this is still the best version of this song. Recorded on a phone, no doubt. I wouldn’t change a thing. Play it at my funeral.

[isaacnelson]

100% certain that the tall bearded old man on the far left has been bully in the alley multiple times in his life
