About the Show

The UK’s best-loved sea shanty group, Fisherman’s Friends, are celebrating over 30 years of performing together with a brand-new UK tour – stopping for one night only at Milton Keynes Theatre.

From their roots in the Cornish fishing village of Port Isaac to sold-out shows around the world, the group have become a cultural phenomenon. Their journey has inspired two hit feature films, a top ten album, a BBC Folk Award, a West End musical, and unforgettable performances at events such as:

• The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee

• Glastonbury Festival’s Pyramid Stage

• Proms in the Park, Hyde Park

• Twickenham Stadium before 80,000 rugby fans

Signed to Island Records, their music has reached new generations of fans, with their fifth studio album All Aboard released in 2024 and their Radio 2 playlisted collaboration with Seth Lakeman, Brave Volunteers.

Who Are the Fisherman’s Friends?

The group remains true to their roots, made up of fishermen and locals from Port Isaac including:

• Jeremy Brown – lobster fisherman

• Jon Cleave – author and shopkeeper

• John ‘Lefty’ Lethbridge – smallholder and engineer

• John McDonnell – builder

• Jason Nicholas – Padstow fisherman

• Toby Lobb – filmmaker

• Simon Biddick – electrician

• Plus acclaimed musicians Marcus Bonfanti and Simon Johnson

Despite global fame, they’ve never lost touch with who they are – just fishermen and their friends, singing together.
