The Wellerman

The song of the day is the 1830's sea ballad from New Zealand, Soon May the Wellerman Come, by British singer Nathan Evans. In 2021, this song was a hit on TikTok. The song refers to the "wellermen", pointing to supply ships owned by the Weller brothers, who were amongst the earliest European settlers of the Otago region of New Zealand.
