The Battle of Flamborough Head was during the American War of Independence
and John Paul Jones, a Scots-born sailor who had taken America's cause,
claimed a famous   victory against the British navy off the East Yorkshire
coast.

Julian Wagstaff's 2001 stage musical "John Paul Jones" was a
biographical piece about the life of this extraordinary Scot, the
son of a gardener who ran away to sea at the age of 13, took America's
side in the independence war, was knighted by the king of France,
fought for Catherine the Great of Russia and died amid the tumult of
the French Revolution. Julian was at pains to be as faithful as
possible to the historical record when writing the libretto - as far
as humanly possible within the demands of dramatic narrative.

This musical is scored for a theatre orchestra of 16 players, 9 principal
voices and a 30-strong company. The first production was presented in
Edinburgh by the Freedom Company in 2001, where it was enthusiastically
received.
