About the Folk Song
“The Keel Row” celebrates the hard-working boatmen who carried coal along the Tyne and Wear rivers. The song became a local anthem in Newcastle and Tyneside during the 1700s. Its strong rhythm and proud words reflect the life and humour of the people who sang it. The tune is still performed widely in folk clubs and brass band traditions across the North-East.
