Fisherman’s Friends The Musical comes to The Lowry, Salford September 27–October 1, starring James Gaddas, Robert Duncan, Susan Penhaligon, Anton Stephens and Parisa Shahmir.

It’s the story of the Cornish chart-topping ‘buoy band’ based around Cornish singing sensations Fisherman’s Friends and the 2019 film about their life.

When a group of Cornish fishermen came together to sing the traditional working songs they’d sung for generations, they hoped to raise a few quid for charity. Nobody, least of all the fishermen, expected their story to end on the Pyramid stage of Glastonbury.
