Having sold out every theatre on their last tour including the Royal Albert Hall, the band always look forward to coming back to their favourite, The Minack Theatre.
This year, they reached over 100,000 Facebook followers, have two feature films to their name, grossing more than $15 million at the UK box office. Not to mention top ten album releases, a musical inspired by their story, a BBC Folk Award, a best-selling book, TV documentary and performances from The Queen's Diamond Jubilee to Hyde Park Proms, the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury and 80,000 rugby fans at Twickenham... and even a performance on Strictly Come Dancing. Last summer their song ‘Brave Volunteers’ a collaboration with Seth Lakeman, was playlisted at Radio 2.
The Fisherman's Friends are lobster fisherman Jeremy Brown, author and shopkeeper Jon Cleave, smallholder and engineer John ‘Lefty’ Lethbridge, builder John McDonnell (a Yorkshireman who visited Port Isaac more than 30 years ago and never left), Padstow fisherman Jason Nicholas, filmmaker Toby Lobb, electrician Simon Biddick and two very talented musicians Marcus Bonfanti and Simon Johnson.
Through rough seas and calm, the band have remained exactly what they always were when they first got together– fishermen and their friends.
