Setting Sail Again...
Fresh from sold-out UK dates and a successful Australian tour, Fisherman’s Friends are setting sail once again with a brand-new UK tour for 2027.
The much-loved Cornish group began as friends singing sea shanties on the harbour in Port Isaac, raising money for local causes and celebrating the songs passed down through generations.
Since then, their extraordinary story has inspired two hit feature films, a successful stage musical, bestselling albums, a book, a TV documentary and performances on some of the country’s biggest stages.
Known for their rich harmonies, humour and strong sense of community, Fisherman’s Friends continue to bring the spirit of Cornwall to audiences across the UK.
With 2026 dates still to come and a full new tour beginning in February 2027, the original Cornish “buoy band” are heading back out on the road.
FISHERMAN'S FRIENDS - How It All Began...
The group of old friends first came together in a sitting room in Port Isaac late in 1990. The men who turned up that night, mostly in their early thirties or thereabouts, were all involved in singing in various local choirs and at folk events, pilot gig racing regattas and the like.
The common thread was that they were all from the same tiny Cornish fishing village of Port Isaac, and all enjoyed singing songs from the ‘Cornish songbook’, songs like Little Lize, Going Up Camborne Hill, Lamorna and of course their national anthem, Trelawney, and they wanted to be able to sing the songs right through, not just conking out after the first verse and a chorus!
Five years later, whilst minding their own business singing on the Platt at Port Isaac, they were rudely interrupted and discovered, and as they say, the rest is history.
WHO ARE THE FISHERMAN'S FRIENDS BAND MEMBERS?
The Fisherman's Friends are lobster fisherman Jeremy Brown, author and shopkeeper Jon Cleave, smallholder and engineer John ‘Lefty’ Lethbridge, builder John McDonnell (a Yorkshireman who visited Port Isaac more than 30 years ago and never left), Padstow fisherman Jason Nicholas, filmmaker Toby Lobb, electrician Simon Biddick and two very talented musicians Marcus Bonfanti and Simon Johnson.
Through rough seas and calm, the band have remained exactly what they always were when they first got together to learn a few sea shanties in somebodies living room – fishermen and their friends.
