The Sludge Boat Song - The Clydesiders

As Dave Whitton born 1950 a real Clydesider and singer with the band am afraid cannot be neutral but am open to corrections!
This cover shows one of the "original" lineups with - from the left - John Graham /fiddle
Sandy Kelso/guitar - Duncan McCrone /guitar - Dave Whitton/ mandolin.
All the band were vocalists and generally belonged to the West of Scotland around Glasgow.
As far as I know only my dad was a real Clydeside worker at the shipyards.
Apart from Duncan ( in the Robert Burns tradition- was an exciseman til Duncan faced a man at gunpoint) all were teachers.
