Fisherman's Friends

"What makes this film a joy is the moody cinematography by Simon Tindall, so atmospheric you can almost taste the sea salt."

Fisherman’s Friends, is a gentle comedy about a music label manager called Danny (Daniel Mays) who stumbles upon a 10-strong group of fishermen (and friends) who sing sea shanties, and becomes convinced he can turn them into pop stars.

​

When Danny first approaches Jim (James Purefoy) and the others with the suggestion of recording them, they’re sceptical. Not so much because they don’t think they’re any good – they’ve been doing it for years, in the pub, on the beach, on the boats – but because he’s from London. Jim’s daughter Alwyn (Tuppence Middleton) is only saying what everyone else thinks when she dismisses Danny as a “tosser”.
