Film
Fisherman’s Friends (12A)
Dir. Chris Foggin, UK, 2018, 112 mins.
Cast. Daniel Mays, James Purefoy, Tuppence Middleton, Dave Johns.
A fast-living, cynical London music executive heads to a remote Cornish village on a stag weekend where he’s pranked by his boss into trying to sign a group of shanty singing fishermen. He becomes the ultimate ‘fish out of water’ as he struggles to gain the respect or enthusiasm of the unlikely boy band who value friendship and community over fame and fortune. Based on the true story of the Port Isaac sea shanty group, this is a lovely, heart-warming South West tale.
