This compilation of recordings by Peter Kennedy (Folktrax) was originally released as a cassette - produced especially
for the opening of the National Waterways Museum in Gloucester Docks on 1st April 1988 . The sub-heading of this
release is variously 'Songs of the Inland Waterways' or 'Music of the Canals and Waterways' but both are rather
misleading. Only three tracks are specifically to do with the inland waterways with the rest a rather motley collection
of songs and tunes relating to rivers and coastal boating. With Peter Kennedy's death in 2006 Folktrax recordings
ceased to be available in the UK. For a few years they could still be obtained from Camsco Music in the USA but this is
no longer the case.
