About Episode Two

The herring and the sad story of C17th struggles for British maritime sovereignty and fishing limits, the chopping down of Chopwell Wood and the chopping off of Charles I’s head, not to mention the fishy obsessions of the House of Stuart – together with The Herring Buss, a traditional jig played by Rob Harbron, the herripedia’s Official English Concertina Player.
