Fisherman's Friends at Southend On Sea

The Fisherman's Friends bring their authentic sea shanty sound to Southend On Sea for a special performance. Hailing from Port Isaac, Cornwall, this folk group has been singing traditional songs of the sea since 1995, blending a cappella harmonies with occasional instrumentation like accordion and guitar.

Attendees can expect a lively show filled with nautical tunes, humorous banter, and the group's signature charm. The Fisherman's Friends have performed at major festivals including Glastonbury and Cambridge Folk Festival, and their concerts often feature both classic shanties and contemporary folk music.

This is a rare opportunity to see the group outside their usual short tours, as they remain semi-professional and perform selectively. Their deep connection to the sea and Cornwall's maritime heritage grounds the performance in authentic tradition.
