Why see Fisherman's Friends?
A Sea Shanty Shindig
See Britain's best loved sea shanty group, Fisherman's Friends, live on tour in the UK in 2024! Long before the recent Wellerman Tiktok craze, the Cornish singers were arguably the first modern group to bring shanty singing back to the mainstream. Singing old sea songs together in their Port Isaac hometown since the mid-90s, the group unexpectedly signed a million-pound record deal with Universal in 2010 and were catapulted from their lives as fishermen and coastguards who loved to sing, into national folk music superstars.
Since then they've made regular huge festival appearances (including on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury), toured regularly and now even have a movie and musical telling their story. Expect a night of joyous harmony, infectious folk songs and more than a barrel o' laughs to go with it.
