All Aboard

'All roads lead to The Fisherman's Friends!' so said broadcast legend and long-time fan, Jo Whiley on the BBC's Glastonbury coverage in 2023, just after the boys had sung their Cornish hearts out on the Avalon Stage to rapturous applause from a packed crowd. And who can argue? In 2023 they reached 104,000 followers on Facebook and signed a fifth album deal with Island Records. On top of the 50,000 concert tickets they sold in 2022, with another 250,000 sold for 'Fisherman's Friends: The Musical', while their two feature films have grossed $15 million at the UK box office. Their tenth album 'All Aboard' is a mixture of floor fillers from the 18th century, and a couple of rogue ones from the 20th and 21st thrown in for good measure. This album is everything you want it to be; with stirring songs from the sea, often poignant but mostly foot-stomping, rip-roaring fun!
