Fisherman's Friends at Oxford

The Fisherman's Friends bring their authentic sea shanty sound to Oxford for a night of traditional folk music. Hailing from Port Isaac, Cornwall, this group has been performing since 1995, blending a cappella harmonies with occasional instrumentation like accordion and guitar. Their repertoire includes both classic shanties and humorous nautical songs, delivered with the charm of lifelong friends who grew up by the sea.

Attendees can expect a lively performance that captures the spirit of Cornwall's maritime heritage. The group's members, many of whom were fishermen or lifeboatmen, share stories and songs that have earned them a devoted following. Their shows are known for audience participation and a warm, convivial atmosphere that makes everyone feel part of the crew.

This concert offers a rare chance to see a group that has performed at major festivals like Glastonbury and Cambridge Folk Festival, yet remains deeply connected to their roots.
