Join Fisherman’s Friends on their new UK tour celebrating 30 years of authentic Cornish sea shanties. Discover traditional maritime songs from real fishermen.

Fisherman’s Friends at Lighthouse Poole

In celebration of performing together for over 30 years on stages across the world, Fisherman’s Friends are proud to announce their new UK tour.

The original Cornish ‘buoy band’ have gathered on the Platt on the harbour in their native Port Isaac to sing the songs of the sea, songs that in some cases have been handed down for hundreds of years, songs that connect them to generations of Cornish fishermen that have come before them.

The Fisherman’s Friends are lobster fisherman Jeremy Brown, author and shopkeeper Jon Cleave, smallholder and engineer John ‘Lefty’ Lethbridge, builder John McDonnell (a Yorkshireman who visited Port Isaac more than 30 years ago and never left), Padstow fisherman Jason Nicholas, filmmaker Toby Lobb, electrician Simon Biddick and two very talented musicians Marcus Bonfanti and Simon Johnson.

Through rough seas and calm, the band have remained exactly what they always were when they first got together to learn a few sea shanties in somebodies living room – fishermen and their friends.
