Being from Port Isaac myself its nice to see something from such a small village being put on something as big as as global as youtube.
Thank you for appreciating great cornish talent.

What could be better than sitting by the sea with a few friends and loved ones... a couple of drinks and listening to this as the sun comes down. Sometimes the simple things in life really are the best.

I love how the jumping kids group grows over the course of the video. And the little one in the pink 0:13 runs to secure a safe place for her doll in order to better participate in the song.

I really want to watch these guys at Port Isaac. I guess I'll have to wait until next year though.
Put fishermans friend in Amazon.co.uk website and choose your CD.
This track does not do justice to a great group of singers. I guess they do this track as a crowd pleaser , and to keep kids attention. Many other songs by them are much better.

@Wigeon2007 Sorry - you're off beam. This is a traditional shanty, not a "kids' song". And this is the group as they actually sound, performing in their hometown, rather than smothered by over-the-top production and instrumentation as featured on their album on the Universal label. This IS Fisherman's Friends.

As it says in the description, it was on the beach at Port Isaac, Cornwall, UK, on Friday September 1 2006.
