Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends [Special Edition]

Product Information

The album, titled Fishermen's Friends Are Home from the Sea, has 20 tracks and was recorded in St Peter's Church, Port Isaac, on 26 and 27 April 2002. From the rip roaring ‘South Australia’, ‘Drunken Sailor’ and ‘No Hopers, Jokers and Rouges’, made famous by the real life band to stunning new songs like ‘Village By The Sea‘ and 'Tidal Pool’. In addition to this, the combination of their voices produced a muscularity which seemed to suit the genre of both sea shanties and songs of the sea, rooted very much in the labour-intensive seafaring traditions of crews of working men. Whilst essentially an a cappella group, their studio recordings and live performances now often include traditional simple instrumentation. The Fisherman's Friends dedicate new album One and All to tenor Trevor Grills who died in freak accident".

Then there's the small matter of their 2022 performance on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, the most famous music festival in the world. If an album is 'missing' that you think deserves to be here, you can include it in your own chart from the My Charts page! So said broadcast legend and long-time fan, Jo Whiley on the BBC's Glastonbury coverage this year just after the boys had sung their Cornish hearts out on the Avalon Stage to rapturous applause from a packed crowd.

In July 2015 the album Proper Job was released on the Sony Music label, in association with the St Austell Brewery, who brew a beer of the same name.

The film stars an ensemble cast headed by James Purefoy, Daniel Mays and Tuppence Middleton, with David Hayman, Dave Johns, Noel Clarke, Maggie Steed, Sam Swainsbury and Christian Brassington playing key supporting roles. 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 our 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!We also sell a wide range of refurbished Mobile Phones and Tech from major brands like Apple, Samsung, Sony, Microsoft and much more.
