Fisherman's Friends at Bristol

The Fisherman's Friends bring their authentic Cornish sea shanties to Bristol for a night of folk music and humour. Known for blending traditional songs of the sea with contemporary folk, the group's performances are a lively mix of a cappella harmonies and occasional instrumentation from accordion and guitar.

Attendees can expect a spirited show filled with both classic shanties and humorous nautical tunes, delivered by a lineup that includes long-standing members like Jeremy Brown and John Lethbridge, alongside newer additions Simon Johnson and Marcus Bonfanti. The group's deep roots in Port Isaac's maritime heritage shine through in every song.

This concert offers a rare chance to see a semi-professional act that doesn't tour extensively, making each performance a special event. The Fisherman's Friends have performed at Glastonbury Festival and Cambridge Folk Festival, and their Bristol show continues that tradition of authentic, engaging music.
