Details

When a group of Cornish fisherman came together to sing the traditional working songs they'd sung for generations, they hoped to raise a few quid for charity. Nobody, least of all the fisherman, expected the story to end on the Pyramid stage of Glastonbury. Spotted by a fish-out-of-water music manager on a trip from London, who must learn there is more to life then selling your sole for fifteen minutes of fame, the story is a feel-good voyage about friendship, community and music that will give any land-lover a mighty pair of sea legs. Packed with more sea shanties than you can fit in a lobster trawler, this new musical will transport you to the high seas featuring some of your favourite shanties from the much-loved Fisherman's Friends boys themselves, including Keep Haulin', Nelson's Blood, No Hopers Jokers & Rogues, Sweet Maid of Madeira and many more
