Fisherman's Friends Live in Manchester

The Fisherman's Friends bring their authentic sea shanty sound to Manchester for a night of traditional folk music. Known for their roots in Port Isaac, Cornwall, the 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 that has made them a beloved act on the festival circuit.

Attendees can expect a lively performance featuring current members including Jeremy Brown, John Lethbridge, and Toby Lobb, among others. The group's shows are known for their engaging stage presence and audience interaction, making for an entertaining evening. While they don't tour extensively, their November dates are a highlight for folk music fans.

This concert offers a chance to experience the music that inspired films and a dedicated following. The Fisherman's Friends have performed at Glastonbury Festival and Cambridge Folk Festival, and their live shows combine traditional songs of the sea with contemporary folk music and a large dash of humour.
