The group can usually be heard singing on Friday evenings throughout the summer on the Platt in wonderful Port Isaac.
Fisherman's Friends are John, Julian and Jeremy Brown, Trevor Grills, John Lethbridge, Billy Hawkins, Nigel Sherratt, Peter Rowe, John McDonnell and Jon Cleave.
Fisherman's Friends, from Port Isaac on the North Cornwall coast, have secured a deal – said to be worth £1 million – with Universal, the company behind acts such as Lady Gaga, Take That and Amy Winehouse
The 10-strong group, which also has a date at this year's Glastonbury Festival, will issue an album of traditional tunes and folk songs next month after being discovered by a record producer on holiday.
Fisherman’s Friends are shanty singers--each of whom are or have been fishermen, lifeboatmen and coastguards (as well as builders, artisans, hoteliers, and shop keepers) in the local area--from Port Isaac on Cornwall’s rugged north coast.
At around eight in the evening during the summer months, tourists and locals gather to hear this ten-man group sing a rousing set of shanties and Cornish folk songs. This album, recorded in a 15th-century church in nearby St Kew, features a rich haul of 12 songs from their Port Isaac repertoire, including the classic "South Australia", the haunting Cornish robber ballad "The Cadgwith Anthem" and the beautiful "Brightly Beams".
In February 2013 Trevor Gills and tour manager Paul McMullen were both killed in a tragic accident while touring.

I spent summer of '95 at Rocky Harbour working at Gros Morne NP as my placement for my degree.
Loved the place, the music, the people.
Spent the summer listening to The Irish Decendants, Spirit of the West and Buudy Watshisname and the other fellow.
Just been talking about Lobsters today and get some from Norris Point.
What a place to live.

Come, all you no hopers,
You jokers and rogues
We're on the road to nowhere,
Let's find out where it goes
It might be a ladder to the stars, who knows
Come, all you no hopers,
You jokers and rogues.
Leave all your furrows in the fields where they lie
Your factories and offices;
Kiss them all goodbye
Have a little faith in the dream maker in the sky
There's glory in believing him
And it's all in the beholder's eye.
Turn off your engines and slow down your wheels
Suddenly your master plan loses its appeal
Everybody knows that this reality's not real
So raise a glass to all things past and celebrate how good it feels.
Awash on the sea of our own vanity
We should rejoice in our individuality
Though it's gale force, let's steer a course for sanity

I got here randomly and how fitting is that!
It’s like my wondering spirit attracts this stuff. That n algorithms.
37 now, lived in Australia for 2 years driving half way around working the land n stuff. Built a bed in my 4x4.
Lived in NZ for a few years too and moved out to the Canadian Prairies for 4 years. Hit the road up obviously, John Denver playing double obviously.
Been to 50 something countries, some by luck, others accidentally. Had an 1 of 2 engines go on my plane and we bailed out in Iceland.
Writing this because I’ve lost my sweet, Welsh Grandmother a few days ago. She was a traveller at heart, different times mind. Different affordability.
I come back to the UK to settle down, every part of my soul belong on the road, wondering, exploring, feeling. Trying hard to keep my head down but I am my Nan, restless.
The road makes my heart kinder, wish I had the courage to except that’s were I belong.
@williamwallbank265
The guy who sings the 1st chorus is my Uncle
@keithhicks1750

@adrv5721

@GeorgieTheTory

@matthewcook3828
7 years later, tell him this guy loves his voice and very much respects his music. He's bringing joy to people still.
@SifuRod

@thproductionwensleydale624
I have seen the film, I've heard the music. I would like to Thank You all down in Cornwall for returning something that could have been lost in the 21st Century forever and never heard and appreciated by the new generation. You have done the UK and most of all Cornwall Proud.
