"Original buoy band" The Fisherman's Friends coming to Birmingham Town Hall
Unique collective Fisherman's Friends are bringing their eclectic live show to Birmingham Town Hall on February 11 as part of their headline UK tour.
For more than 20 years lifelong friends the Fisherman's Friends have met on the Platt in their native Port Isaac in Cornwall to raise money for charity by singing the traditional songs of the sea handed down to them by their forefathers.
In 2010 they signed a major record deal and their album Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends went Gold as they became the first traditional folk act to land a UK top ten album.

Since then they've been the subject of an ITV documentary, released the hit albums One and All and Proper Job and played to tens of thousands of fans at home and abroad.
They sang for HM The Queen at her Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 2012 and were awarded with the Good Tradition Award at the prestigious BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2011.
This year The Fisherman's Friends have played Glastonbury and Sidmouth Folk Week, Looe Music Festival and the Costa del Folk in Portugal.
