The widow of a fisherman who drowned in a freak storm three years ago is appealing to the Island’s fishing community to get involved in a new charity project.
Jane Dolby, who is from Essex, has set up The Fishwives Choir and is planning to release a charity single which will feature the wives and girlfriends of fishing communities from around the UK.
All money raised by the project will be donated to the Fishermen’s Mission charity which helps provide emergency support to the families of fishermen.
Speaking to 3FM, Jane said the response has been overwhelming and asked for residents to get involved:
