Fisherman's Friends
Exeter Corn Exchange
March 16th 2012

The Fisherman's Friends from Port Isaac have delighted visitors and locals there for more than 15 years, with almost 300 live performances under their belts and a major album release. Now, after their success at the 2011 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, the shanty men of Port Isaac are out on the road  to delight and enthral audiences with their voices in an incredibly 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, who make a fat sound, a full sound and a solid wall of sound.
