Fisherman's Friends Live in Sheffield

The Fisherman's Friends bring their authentic sea shanty sound to Sheffield 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 shanties and nautical songs, often delivered with a dash of humour.

Attendees can expect a lively performance that captures the spirit of the Cornish coast. The group's members have deep ties to the sea, with backgrounds as fishermen, coast guards, and lifeboatmen. Their shows are known for engaging storytelling and audience participation, making for an immersive experience.

This concert offers a rare chance to see a semi-professional group that doesn't tour extensively, typically only in November and February/March. Their performances are a celebration of maritime heritage, perfect for folk music enthusiasts and anyone curious about the rich tradition of sea shanties.
