Fisherman's Friends

Fisherman's Friends are coming to the Princess Theatre on Sunday 5 September 2027. They're an a cappella folk act from Port Isaac in Cornwall, and they've been singing old sea songs together in their hometown since the mid-90s. If you've never come across them, they're basically Britain's best-loved sea shanty group.

Their rise was a bit of a fluke. In 2010, they signed an unexpected million-pound record deal with Universal, which turned them into national folk music superstars long before the Wellerman TikTok craze brought sea shanties back into the mainstream. Since then, they've played some huge festivals, including the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, and toured both the UK and Australia. There's even a movie and a musical telling their story now.

This Torquay date is part of a brand-new tour for 2027, which follows a run of sold-out British shows in 2026 and a successful Australian tour earlier that same year. One reviewer described one of their concerts as 'fantastic', full of joyous harmony and infectious folk songs, though they did mention the seating was cramped. It's their traditional sea shanties they'll be bringing to the Princess Theatre, so that's exactly what you'll get: voices and old songs, no instruments in the mix.

If you're interested, the show is on Sunday 5 September 2027 at the Princess Theatre in Torquay. Tickets are available through the venue and atgtickets.com.
