Enjoy the true story of the Cornish chart-topping ‘buoy band’ when Fisherman’s Friends The Musical comes to The Lowry, Salford from Tuesday 27 September to Saturday 1 October.

Fisherman’s Friends The Musical is based on the true story of the Cornish singing sensations, Fisherman’s Friends, and the hit 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. Packed with sea shanties, Fisherman’s Friends The Musical is a feelgood voyage about friendship, community and music.

Featuring hit shanties made famous by the band including Keep Haulin’, Nelson’s Blood, No Hopers Jokers & Rogues and many more.

The hit 2019 Fisherman’s Friends movie delighted fans across the world with the sequel Fisherman’s Friends: One and All, set to be released in the UK next week.

The principal cast of Fisherman’s Friends The Musical features James Gaddas  who will play Jim, with Parisa Shahmir playing play his daughter, Alwyn. Robert Duncan  will play Jago with Susan Penhaligon  playing his wife, Maggie. Anton Stephans ill play Leadville.

Fisherman’s Friends The Musical is directed by James Grieve and written by Amanda Whittington with choreography by Matt Cole, musical direction by James Findlay, set and costume design by Lucy Osborne, musical supervision and arrangements by David White, sound design by Dan Samson, lighting design by Johanna Town and casting by Jim Arnold.

The UK, Ireland and Canada tour follows a highly successful, sold-out season at Hall for Cornwall, where box office records were smashed, making it the biggest selling production in Hall for Cornwall’s 25-year history.
