The London Folk & Roots Festival Presents Port Isaac's Fisherman's friends

The Fishermans Friends are shanty singers from Port Isaac who have delighted visitors and locals there for more than 15 years, with almost 300 live performances under their belts.

Down on the harbour front of the tiny fishing village of Port Isaac on the north Cornwall coast, the authentic sound of the shanty can be heard loud and clear via the mighty, brawny chorale of The Fisherman’s Friends. There is no gang leader, no choirmaster and no holds barred in the singing of The Fisherman’s Friends. And fisherman’s friends they truly are – each and every member of this unique group are or have been fishermen, boatmen and coast guards. With Port Isaac’s Fishermen’s Friends, the Shanty Man is back in business. Be prepared to have your ears blown clean off…
