A few weeks ago in the tiny fishing village of Tarbert, the local community gathered in Templers Hall, the hub overlooking the harbour.

Guitarists, harpists, vocalists, a choir and even a pipe band arrived at the hall, ready to record a song written and produced by fellow villager Silvio Gigante and Simon Greatbatch.

Armed with musical instruments, they were ready to fight for their village and for the families who lost their loved ones in a tragic accident just weeks prior.

On January 18, the TT100 Nancy Glen was fishing for prawns in Loch Fyne when the trawler capsized.

One member of the crew managed to escape and raise the alarm when rescued by a passing boat.

Immediately the community sprung into action to find Duncan MacDougall and Przemek Krawczyk, the two missing fishermen who were aboard the boat.

The entire Tarbert fishing fleet, two ferries, three lifeboats plus the coastguard and the helicopter searched into the night for the two men, but they were not found and are presumed dead.

The vessel is lying at a depth of more than 459 ft (140m).

"The two men Duncan and Przemek have families in the village, who cruelly can see the site of the tragedy and understandably they want their boys back home," explains Beatrice Catherine Clark, a resident of Tarbert.

"But the families were told they would have to raise the monies to get their boys home from the seabed, so a crowdfunding initiative was set up to do just that."

The village of Tarbert and other communities in Argyll and Bute quickly began raising money to help raise the trawler, with afternoon teas, dances, raffles and auctions raising more than £260,000.

Clyde Fisheries Association has also been assisting with its own campaign and people from across the world have been donating money to the cause.

The next step was to reach communities across the UK even further, by producing a charity single in Tarbert with the hopes of reaching the charts and raising even more money for the families through sales.

It began as a simple social media post which spread throughout the community, with musicians and vocalists donating their time to come together to record the emotional song.

Children from Tarbert Academy choir, the school Duncan attended, also performed as part of the collaborative effort.

Titled 'Please bring our boys back home', it became the number one downloaded single on Amazon and reached number 32 in the iTunes charts.

Yet it is the way in which the song has pulled the community even closer which means the most to the people of Tarbert, showing the families affected by the Nancy Glen tragedy that they are not alone.

Beatrice Catherine, who is one of the lead vocalists on the song, says: "It was definitely kept local and even the recording was set in a local hall and in fact you can see Tarbert harbour from the hall which is also close to where the boys are thought to be.

"It was an extremely emotional time to be trying to put together a song with so much emotion behind the words and having such true meaning."

The overarching theme of 'Please bring our boys back home' is one of unity. Each person involved plays down their contribution to the finished song, insisting that the lilting tune with airs of traditional Celtic music to it is for the families of Duncan and Przemek.

"We're trying to create a legacy for them, their families and particularly the little ones to remember their dads," Beatrice Catherine says.

The emotional song has comforted the families somewhat, with one of the children of the missing men renaming the tune 'Daddy's song', listening to it before bed.

In February, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon pledged to do "everything possible" to help both families recover the bodies of their loved ones, with Fergus Ewing, Fisheries Secretary adding that the money raised through crowdfunding "can go to the families rather than the recovery operation".

For the people of Tarbert, there has been no let up in their campaign to support the families of Duncan and Przemek.

They plan to keep fighting for a legacy for the two men and pledge they will never be forgotten.

"It's not just ourselves in the wee village of Tarbert that is hit by this, there have been many fishing tragedies over the years," Beatrice Catherine says.

"People are now going to reminisce about them and what happened to their families, so I believe this song will resonate throughout the coastal communities."

'Please bring our boys back home' can be downloaded from iTunes and Amazon, and listened to on Spotify.
