THE TRUE STORY OF THE CORNISH CHART TOPPING BUOYBAND. Based on the true story of the chart-topping Cornish singing sensations and their hit 2019 movie, Fisherman’s Friends: The Musical is a feel-good voyage about friendship, community and music which smashed box office records in Cornwall.

When a group of Cornish fishermen came together to sing the traditional working songs they’d sung for generations, nobody, least of all the fishermen, expected the story to end on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury. They are spotted by a fish-out-of-water music manager on a trip from London, who must learn that there is more to life than selling your sole for fifteen minutes of fame. So, climb aboard, find your sea legs and allow yourself to fall for this critically acclaimed musical - hook, line and sinker!

From the rip roaring ‘South Australia’, ‘Drunken Sailor’ and ‘No Hopers, Jokers and Rouges’, made famous by the real life band to stunning new songs like ‘Village By The Sea‘ and 'Tidal Pool’. The cast recording gives a unique take on the folk canon.
