Who knows when the Friends will sing their last shanty on Port Isaac's platte? There's a timeless feel to the songs and shared histories of these men that's transmitted to the folk from everywhere who gather where Cornwall meets the sea.

After the accidental death of one of the group they are not performing on the Platt this season. It is quite understandable and we can only hope they resume after grieving for their colleague.

Been watching the Fishermans Friends in Port Issac for about 15 years now,however their recent celebrity status has accounted for massive crowds which ruins the simplicity of the occasion. Singing is great with beautiful back drop of the harbour but crowds in their hundreds have ruined it.

These guys are OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! No words can explain how good these guys are! My 5 year old thinks they all sound like Pirates when they sing, and with the setting of the Harbour it is a must see.

We attended the last performance of the season on the Platt. Our only mistake was not wearing some warmer clothes as the performance was so good, despite us feeling really cold we hung out to the very end. Great singers and entertainers mixing comedy and music. Parking is difficult as they attract so many people. We stayed all day to... More

The Fishermans Friends were fantastic. Great singers and very funny men. I knew a lot of the songs and was able to sing along. I had the best time.

Wonderful singing and great crowds. We recommned to anyone to spend an evening on the harbour side. The only downside was the cost of parking

The evening we went to see the Fisherman's friends. Was the warmest they had done in two years! I could not think of a better way to spend our last night in Port Isaac. Picnic blankets, wine, plastic cups, the children dancing to a style of music they had never heard before. The perfect evening!! We all went home with... More
