Description
12 Silk Handkerchiefs is a moving song-cycle written in 2017 by internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Reg Meuross. Six songs threaded with a powerful narration by the author of ‘The Headscarf Revolutionaries’, Brian W Lavery, to create a multi media show and a CD recording. Meuross tells the story as only he can, with beautifully crafted lyrics and melodies that touch the soul, of Hull’s 1968 triple trawler disaster and the subsequent uprising led by fighting fishwife Mrs Lillian Bilocca, demanding greater safety on the trawlers.
