PORT ISAAC'S FISHERMAN'S FRIENDS Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends (2010 UK 15-track CD album - The Fisherman's Friends are shanty singers from Port Isaac on Cornwall's rugged, panoramic north coast, who have delighted visitors and locals there for more than 15 years. Down on the harbour front of the tiny fishing village of Port Isaac, the authentic sound of the shanty can be heard loud and clear via the mighty, brawny chorale of The Fisherman's Friends. At around eight in the evening during the summer months, tourists and locals gather to hear this ten-man group mesh their voices in an incredibly rousing and joyful set of shanties and Cornish folk songs. Their new album, recorded in a 15th-century church in nearby St Kew, features a rich haul of songs from their Port Isaac repertoire, including the classic 'South Australia', the haunting Cornish robber ballad 'The Cadgwith Anthem' and the beautiful 'Brightly Beams', their mesh of Chapel-inspired harmonies rising out of a big-band folk setting!).
