The Fisherman's Friends is a British male singing group from Port Isaac, Cornwall, who sing sea shanties. They have recorded three albums (to date) with this name, and also as Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends (one album) and as Fisherman's Friends (three albums to date). The group has been performing locally since 1995, and signed a record deal with Universal Music in March 2010. Whilst essentially an a cappella group, their studio recordings and live performances now often include traditional simple instrumentation.
