Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends February 26, 2012

English folk music has enjoyed a renaissance in the last decade, especially in the West Country. Now, after their success at the 2011 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, the ‘Shanty men’ of Port Isaac come to Liverpool to delight and enthrall with their rousing and joyful set of Shanties and Cornish folk songs.

The authentic sound of the shanty can be heard loud and clear via the mighty, brawny chorale of The Fisherman’s Friends. Between them, they are five baritones, two top tenors, two second tenors, and one bass, it makes a fat sound, a solid wall of sound. They have delighted visitors and locals in Port Isaac for more than 15 years, and now you too can experience their live performance.
