On Friday 2nd September, FISHERMAN’S FRIENDS: ONE AND ALL, the highly anticipated sequel to the beloved 2019 uplifting comedy hit, sails into cinemas across the UK and Ireland.
Inspired by the story of Fisherman’s Friends, who rose to fame performing on the harbour in their native Port Isaac in Cornwall, the band are widely credited with starting the revival of interest in shanty-style choral singing, a pop-culture phenomenon in recent years.
FISHERMAN’S FRIENDS: ONE AND ALL charts the next instalment of the Fisherman’s Friends amazing and uplifting true‐story.
