Fisherman's Friends Live in Plymouth

The Fisherman's Friends bring their authentic sea shanty sound to Plymouth for a special evening of folk music. Known for their roots in Port Isaac, Cornwall, the group has been performing traditional songs of the sea since 1995, blending a cappella harmonies with occasional instrumentation like accordion and guitar.

Attendees can expect a lively performance filled with both classic shanties and contemporary folk tunes, delivered with the group's trademark humour. The current lineup includes members who have deep connections to the sea, many having worked as fishermen, coast guards, or lifeboatmen, giving their music an authentic maritime spirit.

This concert offers a rare chance to see a semi-professional group that doesn't tour extensively, typically performing short runs in November and February. Their shows are known for a warm, engaging atmosphere that celebrates Cornish culture and the enduring appeal of sea music.
