SEA SHANTY STAR MAKES £500,000

SEA shanty singer Nathan Evans has raked in more than £500,000 since quitting the mail to be a full-time musician.

The folk musician posted the 19th-century whaling song The Wellerman on social media app TikTok in December 2020 and quickly amassed a huge following.

The 28-year-old from Airdrie, left his postie job after landing a three-album deal with Polydor Records.

Now accounts for companies set up to channel his income show that he has made a fortune from his new- found fame.
