Fisherman's Friends is a 2019 British comedy-drama film directed by Chris Foggin from a screenplay by Nick Moorcroft, Meg Leonard and Piers Ashworth.. The film was inspired by a true story about Fisherman's Friends, a group of Cornish fishermen from Port Isaac who were signed by Universal Records and achieved a top 10 hit with their debut album of traditional sea shanties.
In the original line-up, all of the members of the group "grew up within half a mile of Port Isaac harbour" except for John McDonnell who is a Yorkshireman. [citation needed] Three were fishermen, and the others were linked to the sea through service as coast guards or lifeboatmen; hence the name, 'The Fisherman's Friends'. [2]
Jinder (born 19 April 1981) is an English singer-songwriter and guitarist.

The songs from the musical are including sea-shanties that have both been made famous by the group, as well as having been sung by them; some of the songs have been embellished for the stage, being performed more emotionally, with adapted lyrics or even in a different musical style, while all of the music heard is performed live by the on-stage company.
