In celebration of performing together for over 30 years on stages across the world, Fisherman’s Friends are proud to announce their new UK tour. Having sold out every venue on their last tour including the Royal Albert Hall, the band look forward to performing old songs and new at Royal & Derngate. They have two feature films to their name, ten album releases, a musical inspired by their story, a BBC Folk Award, a best-selling book, TV documentary and prestigious performances from The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations to Hyde Park Proms in the Park, the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury and 80,000 rugby fans at Twickenham…and even a performance on Strictly Come Dancing. All the above and more has been achieved while holding down their day jobs. 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.
