Port Issac’s Fisherman’s Friends are ten close friends who grew up in the same remote north Cornwall village – our nearby Port Issac – who have been singing sea shanties as a hobby for over 20 years. After being spotted singing one summer they were signed up for a big recording contract. 
Despite never seeking out stardom, the group now find themselves performing at festivals, TV shows and radio concerts across the country in the hot glare of a summer music tour. But as their fame grows, they often find themselves travelling hundreds of miles a day. As the tour intensifies with more dates and new recording sessions, the band face a crisis which could affect their future – and their friendship.
Check out the ITV documentary tonight Wednesday 15th June at 10:35pm (or repeats/itv player).
Then if you are in North Cornwall in August every Friday night they perform on Port Issac’s platt
