Singing sea shanties a cappella, they have been performing locally since 1995, and signed a record deal with Universal Music in March 2010 under the name Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends. At the 2011 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, Fisherman's Friends received The Good Tradition Award for keeping folk music alive and bringing it to new audiences
The members are: John Brown, Julian Brown, Jeremy Brown (these first three being brothers), Trevor Grills (died 11 February 2013), John Lethbridge, Billy Hawkins, Nigel Sherratt, Peter Rowe, John McDonnell and Jon Cleave. At 78, Peter Rowe is the oldest member, as of June 2012. Jon Cleave is the MC of the group.
All the members of the group "grew up within half a mile of Port Isaac harbour" except for John McDonnell who is a Yorkshireman. Three are fishermen, and the others are linked to the sea through service as coastguards or lifeboatmen.
The group performed at the 2010 Cornbury music festival in Oxfordshire, the Glastonbury Festival and the Cambridge Folk Festival. The group had released two CDs themselves before signing with Universal; their first album with Universal, Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends, was recorded in St Kew Parish Church, Cornwall, and released in April 2010.

The summer sky, the setting sun
The corncrake steams on the Bristol run
Brandy for the waiters tray
The sailors they have earned their pay
O’er the sea the Bristol town
Loaded down the brandy o’
O’er the sea the Bristol town
Loaded down the brandy o’
The Brandy O’
Rolling on her deep green lay
Towards the hills of Redcliffe Bay
The corncrake steams upon her way
Through the moonlit night to the break of day
O’er the sea the Bristol town
Loaded down the brandy o’
O’er the sea the Bristol town
Loaded down the brandy o’
The Brandy O’
Then the Captain, I heard tell
That’s the sound of the King Road Bell
Down the reach to the harbor side
Safe and sound from the severn tide
O’er the sea the Bristol town
Loaded down the brandy o’
O’er the sea the Bristol town
Loaded down the brandy o’
The Brandy O’
We then made fast both fore and aft
For the corncrake she's a pleasant craft Now ashore to have some fun
Drinking from a bottle of rum
O’er the sea the Bristol town
Loaded down the brandy o’
O’er the sea the Bristol town
Loaded down the brandy o’
The Brandy O’

To this day, it is still one of their best songs that they've sung.
@ProfesoraNut
The harmonies on this song are INCREDIBLE. I think this is top five of all the many songs you guys do. Well done, all of you! I'm always left completely impressed and blown away when I hear you sing.
@alvpyrola
