Apparently, my surname was first recorded in Cornwall, but I always assumed it to be Welsh. Never mind, I'm English through and through. Anyway, I now live in South Australia and enjoy that the final song is dedicated to SA. As I have aged, I have come to not only appreciate folk/country music, but to love it. And these lads make it sound like I'd love to be amongst them when singing.
Fisherman's friend is also a brand of Throat Lozenges that sells in Australia that is always a reminder of my first day of school. It was my first day of school and my Aunt ( substitute mother that grew me up ) handed me about five dollars in change. I didn't quite understand why she was giving me all these coins ( it was meant to be for my lunch money for my first day of school ). She told me " its for school " . Walk up the road ( which was about 20 minutes to half an hours walk to this school I had never been to or saw before as I had only finished kindy ). Anyhow. As I didn't quite understand ( was still only young ). I walked up to a nearby service station which was on the way to this " school " I was supposed to make my way to by myself at such a young age. At the time in my very young head I thought I was being given money to go buy myself some lollies ( candy ) and I must have done something good to receive this " reward ". So ( not fully understanding what this " school " thing was ..I walked up to the service station ( which I was more familiar with and selected out a packet of " Fisherman's friend " which I had at the time mistaken for a packet of lollies ( candy ). For anyone who knows about Fishermans Friends throat lozenges they are actually quite HOT AND STRONG for a young child's palate. I remember trying one and spitting it out because of it's heat strength on the tongue. I then proceeded to walk back home still not understanding the money was supposed to be my lunch money and I was meant to walk to " school "( by myself ). So when I arrived back home with my packet of Fisherman's Friend my Aunt and her husband ( my step dad ) then woke up to the fact I was all confused and did not realise I was actually meant to make my way to my first day of school ( on my own ) and at such a young age. ( First prize AWARD for STUPID PARENTING of the year NOW AWARDED TO THEM BY ME ). Anyhow, they " woke up " to the fact I was a bit confused about what the money was for and where I was meant to go ( " school " ) and then eventually took me there and showed me " the way " to go in and attend. 🤪. Anyhow. This is a memory I still hold of my " first day of school ". Footnote - I am SO FUCKING GLAD AND RELIEVED I AM NOW AN ADULT IN CHARGE OF MY OWN LIFE AND 👉 LONG LEFT " HOME" 👈 LONG AGO. ( THANK GOD ✝️🙏 ).... But it is also this " school " I attended where I learnt these songs ( Bound For South Australia and Bound For Botany Bay ) that I came to like / love and also gave me my happiest Christmas Time and Easter memories too.. was at this school and not so much at home ( at all )...I can say.🙏👍❤
^Where there’s a mine or hole in the ground ^ - this resonates for me in that my family name, Lake, came from Cornwall and was brought to the Swansea Valley in Wales, where family history, orally handed down to us, has it that they were sinkers employed in digging new pits with skills learnt in Cornish Lead mines. Great music, great traditions much enjoyed- thanks guys. Diolch yn fawr, Hwyl fawr.
Great english true england 🇬🇧 band 👏 god bless the singing fisherman who saves lives 🙏 and thecsinging is second they are true english humble english men who are betyer than eich stuck yp english who think being rich means they can treat humans l8ke dogs and get away with it always its the working class heroes who keep this country english with kind humble human beings always 😊
I heard about you a few years ago , then lossed track after "life circumstances" , and re-found you . Your singing warms my heart and soul . Thank you for finding your beautiful harmony !
You were to My Brother and Wife Helen . the Top.. At his funeral (2012) your songs were the High points .. MANY MANY thanks.. Bob Knight (Brother in Eupen .. Belgium)..
fantastic harmony. that 'Sloop John B' near the end knocks stripes off the Beach Boys version. mind you a lad from Glasgow once did a good one too...people down south don't know he was a Glaswegian by birth that'll be Lonnie Donegan!
Watched them live at the Barbican last night. Brilliant entertainment not just excellent singing. Totally recommend seeing them live if you have a chance. Personal favourites were Little Eyes, Sloop John B & audience participation in the Leaving of Liverpool. A great evening.
I am absolutely in love! I hope you all will be back in Mystic CT soon!!!! I’ve listened to shanties for many years, and yes I can keep Harmony with you !!! Seriously, love everything you do.
With times so tough, their second movie came out at the perfect time! Loved both! They have a way of making you family! Would love to see you play in Calgary, Alberta. Call it on my bucket list! ❤️
Wasn't there a verse "give em soap and water and make him scrub deck earlie in the morning" in the song What do you do with a Drunken Sailor. Maybe that was a Canadian translation. I liked that verse because I couldn't think of a worst punishment while being super hung over other than being keeledhauled.
Listening to them always brings a smile to my face. Thank you gents.
Really fantastic and it makes me very happy to watch and listening to these wonderful singers.
Watched the movie yesterday ... absolutely loved it and the music just bloody brilliant 👍
Oh I cried so, several times during the picture
Same, just had to hear more of this beautiful music after the movie!
I listen to these chaps every day, never tire of them.
Same
I play them in my car. My car was a pirate ship in its past life, so it likes them too. :-)
12 am wonderful and lifts you up thankyou ❤😊
You have another convert - really great 🎶 music, love the sounds of the voices.🤩
Really pleased I have Cornish roots as my Dad was born there. Best wishes to one and all and glad we visited port Issac yesterday.❤️
"Mother Nature doesn't draw straight lines - we look a mess but we're doing fine" - Fanstastic!!
Canada. Grandfather was WWI and WWII and Dad In WWII. Brought this music home. Lovely memories.

Trevor grills has a beautiful voice. So tragic a loss x
So true
Gail Holloway which one is that?
@@robertstrong5713 fourth one in from Jeremy's side.
@@robertstrong5713 you want to hear just how good Trevor was just listen to the song Mary Anne
He sings with angels now. No. Not true. He sings above them. Or at least gives them singing classes in free time. A blessed man, he truly was.
The Harmony is just great. Love sloop John B. Absolutely brilliant
Beautiful and proud to hear such great folk music still alive and kicking.... keep it alive! Luv the whale shanty!

Wow music is still alive , Wonderful just bloody wonderful
The Last Leviathan is too beautiful for words.
You remind of my youth and the local folk club which is no more.
First became aware of the group from the movie. Love the sound of the group, their dedication to music and each other.
Strong and minded, determined, inventive man. Rispect!
I love their interaction with audiences. Fantastic.
Wow Guys. A pleasure to to hear you sing👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
They are wonderful, after seeing the movie, I have followed them. Love them

Such a special brunch of lads . What a great sound . A beautiful representation of Cornwall's BEST!!!
An unknown face of my favourite band on this planet!
This is magic
The originals are so much better than the films.
With times so tough, their second movie came out at the perfect time! Loved both! They have a way of making you family! Would love to see you play in Calgary, Alberta. Call it on my bucket list! ❤️
Fabulous!

Brilliant !!☺hope they come to Dublin
Epic
You haven't made it until they've made a pasty after you.
Just awesome
Love them
❤love your singing
Wow!
What’s wrong with the 3 who gave this the thumbs down?
They are jealous
I love their traditional music. It is very important that they keep it alive... I play one of the shanties on concertina and violin.
There's always one...... er.... 15.
Not to worry it’s their loss🥸
Plonkers
PROUD TA BE CORNISH ,, ANSUM PROPER JOB
Me also. Love this group. The cornish have good hearts 💕 and are fun to be with.
Love fhem
Brilliant
Amazing guys
Long ago, in the army on the forced marches, we sang chanteys to keep the step. And to pass the time, which allowed to ignore exhaustion!
Those have since been banned as political incorrect. Scatological? Heaven forfend!!
On on, HHH KL
Walking in the zone on the AT….!
And did the Cambridge Folk Festival feature the Gaelic Waulking songs from Hebridean women as they trod the weave...?
The union of different kinds isn’t on any albums, they gotta record that one
It's on the special edition version of "Port Isaacs Fisherman's Friends" and "Keep Hauling" which is the soundtrack of the movie.
@@alangale5666 Yeah looks like the soundtrack for the movie isn't available in the USA... big bummer.

stars to be nice work lads
He looks like charles bronson the actor who played him tom hardy 😊
are these the same guys from the movie
No. Just the singing
The movie had actors playing these guys. But these guys were in the movie in the pub trivia scene.
Fantasist Harmony guys.
not hear a sound as good since the spinners
👍🏼
❤
wow
