Fisherman's Friends at Bath

The Fisherman's Friends bring their signature blend of sea shanties and contemporary folk music to Bath. Known for their humorous and often lewd nautical songs, the group from Port Isaac, Cornwall, have been performing since 1995 and have appeared at major festivals including Glastonbury and Cambridge Folk Festival.

Attendees can expect a lively a cappella performance, occasionally accompanied by accordion and guitar, delivered by a lineup of current members including Jeremy Brown, John Lethbridge, and others. The group's repertoire mixes traditional songs of the sea with modern folk, creating an engaging and authentic maritime atmosphere.

This concert offers a rare chance to see the semi-professional group, who typically tour only in short bursts during November and February/March. Their Bath date is part of their limited touring schedule, making it a special event for folk music enthusiasts.
