Fisherman’s Friends are a folk group from Port Isaac, Cornwall, who sing sea shanties. They have been performing locally since 1995, originally to raise money for charity on the harbour. In the original lineup, all members grew up within half a mile of Port Isaac harbour; three were fishermen, and the others were linked to the sea as coast guards or lifeboatmen.

In 2010 they signed with Universal Records and their album Port Isaac’s Fisherman’s Friends went Gold, making them the first traditional folk act to land a UK top ten album. They received the Good Tradition Award at the 2011 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. A 2019 film based on their story was a box office success, followed by a sequel in 2022.
