Jane Dolby used Gareth Malone’s BBC programme The Choir as inspiration after her husband Colin drowned at sea.

November 10, 2008, began as a normal working day for Colin Dolby, a 47-year-old trawlerman from Leigh-on-Sea, Essex. 
“He went into the garden and he looked at the trees to see which way the wind was blowing,” remembers his wife Jane. “When he set out, the weather was fine and then a storm sprung out. It was one of those storms where the rain is so fierce it stings your face, really lashing.”
