Fisherman's Friends

Fisherman's Friends tickets and regional UK dates

Fisherman's Friends are a Cornish folk collective who began singing traditional sea shanties on the harbour in Port Isaac and have grown into one of Britain's most distinctive live acts. Their 2027 UK tour follows sold-out UK shows in 2026 and an Australian tour, with each performance running to approximately two and a half hours.

From harbour wall to concert hall

The group formed more than 25 years ago at the Platt Harbour in Port Isaac, where a community of working fishermen gathered to sing songs handed down through generations, originally as a way of raising money for local charities. That informal tradition eventually led to a major record deal in 2010, and their debut album Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends reached Gold status, making them the first traditional folk act to place a UK Top Ten album. Albums One and All, Proper Job, and Sole Mates followed, and the group were the subject of an ITV documentary charting their unlikely rise.

What to expect at the 2027 tour

This is a live concert by the original artists, not a tribute or theatrical production. Their repertoire of sea shanties and traditional folk songs is rooted in Cornwall's coastal heritage, performed with close harmonies and the group's well-known strand of humour. Each show runs for approximately two hours and thirty minutes. No age guidance is listed for these dates, so families should contact their chosen venue directly if relevant.
