Empire of The Sea

Historian Dan Snow charts the defining role the Royal Navy played in Britain's struggle for modernity - a grand tale of the twists and turns which thrust the people of the British Isles into an indelible relationship with the sea and ships.

Initially Andreas Bay Estrup dreamt of a musical career as a jazz drummer. He studied in Copenhagen, Amsterdam and the US and never really wished to do anything else but drumming. But things didn’t go as planned. Estrup started writing songs and began to think of a band he could play these songs with. He formed a band of old and new friends, all of them experienced musicians from acts like Saybia, Slaraffenland, Folkeklubben and Efterklang. They rehearsed in the basement of Rasmus Jusjong’s parents. Rasmus was the drummer of this new band called Dangers of the Sea, as Andreas Bay Estrup had become its lead singer.
