Traditional british shanty choir of Cornish fishermen from Port Isaac founded in 1995. In 2009 BBC Radio presenter Johnnie Walker was in Cornwall on holiday and came across two of their homemade CDs. Walker's manager, Ian Brown, travelled to Port Isaac and negotiated a recording contract worth £1 million for them with Universal Music Group, who released their first commercial album the following year. The group became known internationally when their story was made into a film in 2019: Fisherman's Friends.
