Read full details

The Fisherman's Friends bring their authentic Cornish sea shanties to Edinburgh for a night of folk music and humour. Hailing from Port Isaac, this group of fishermen, coast guards, and lifeboatmen have been performing together since 1995, blending traditional songs of the sea with contemporary folk and a hearty dose of wit.

Attendees can expect a lively a cappella performance, often accompanied by accordion and guitar, featuring both classic shanties and more playful nautical tunes. The group's repertoire includes songs that are sometimes lewd, delivered with the charm and camaraderie of a tight-knit maritime community.

This is a rare chance to see a semi-professional act that doesn't tour extensively, making their Edinburgh date a special event for folk music enthusiasts. The Fisherman's Friends have graced stages at Glastonbury and Cambridge Folk Festival, and their live shows are known for their warmth and authenticity.
