The Fisherman's Friends bring their authentic Cornish sea shanties to Birmingham for a night of folk music and humour. Known for their a cappella roots, the group now often includes simple instrumentation like accordion and guitar, blending traditional songs of the sea with contemporary folk.
Attendees can expect a lively performance filled with both classic shanties and humorous banter, delivered by a lineup that includes long-standing members like Jeremy Brown and John Lethbridge, alongside newer additions Simon Johnson and Marcus Bonfanti. The group's repertoire ranges from rousing nautical tunes to more lewd numbers, all delivered with the charm that has made them a beloved fixture at festivals like Glastonbury and Cambridge Folk Festival.
This concert offers a rare chance to see the semi-professional group outside their usual short tours, bringing a taste of Port Isaac's maritime heritage to the Midlands.
