Fisherman's Friends at Poole

The Fisherman's Friends bring their authentic sea shanty sound to Poole for an evening of traditional maritime music. Hailing from Port Isaac, Cornwall, this folk group has been performing since 1995, blending a cappella harmonies with occasional instrumentation like accordion and guitar. Their repertoire includes both classic shanties and humorous nautical songs, delivered with the warmth and character of lifelong friends.

Attendees can expect a lively performance that captures the spirit of the Cornish coast, with songs that tell tales of the sea and life in a fishing village. The group's members, many of whom have backgrounds as fishermen or coast guards, bring genuine authenticity to every show. Their set often features audience participation and lighthearted banter, creating a convivial atmosphere.

This concert offers a rare chance to see a group that has performed at major festivals like Glastonbury and Cambridge Folk Festival, yet maintains a semi-professional schedule with limited touring. For fans of folk music or anyone curious about Britain's maritime heritage, it's an engaging and memorable experience.
