Hi Amanda, glad you enjoyed it. I think it was one of our conductor Michael Englands arrangements. Iโ€™m sure if you reach out to him, heโ€™ll be able to tell you.

5 Minutes On - The Shipping Forecast: Lulling listeners for 100 years - BBC Sounds Listeners' reflections on a much-loved part of the Radio 4 schedule.

As an added bonus to #shippingforecast 100 on @BBCRadio4. I asked my colleagues Jane Steel and Tom Sandars to read some of the extra emails I received from listeners telling me what the โ€˜Shipsโ€™ meant to them. We couldnโ€™t fit them all in the โ€˜Havenโ€™ programme! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
