Fisherman’s Friends to Perform at Port Isaac Shanty Festival 2024

In a significant announcement for sea shanty music lovers, the Port Isaac Shanty Festival has unveiled that the beloved group Fisherman’s Friends will be performing at a special Gala Gig in the upcoming 2024 festival. Scheduled for Friday, April 19th, this exclusive event will take place in the intimate setting of the Port Isaac Village Hall, offering fans a unique opportunity to experience the group’s harmony up close.

The organisers have emphasised that attendance at the Gala Gig will require advanced tickets, underscoring the exclusivity of the event. In contrast, the main Shanty Festival, known for celebrating maritime music traditions, will remain open to the public without the need for tickets, maintaining its tradition of free access.

Fisherman’s Friends, hailing from Port Isaac itself, are set to enrich the festival experience by not only performing at the Gala but also taking a prominent role throughout the weekend. The group is slated to bring the festival to a memorable close on the main stage at the Playing Field on Sunday, April 21st.

This announcement has sparked excitement among fans and festival-goers, promising a blend of intimate performances and grand stage appearances by Fisherman’s Friends. The Port Isaac Shanty Festival, with its free access and now the addition of this special Gala Gig, is poised to offer a rich tapestry of musical celebrations in the picturesque setting of Port Isaac.
