I was totally blown away by this fantastic musical based in Cornwall and following the story of the acapella shanty singing group 'The Fishermans Friends'. The story follows a fictional version of the fisherman who enjoy nothing more than joining together with the other 'local lads' and singing a shanty or two in the backroom of the local pub. Some fantastic vocal performances by all members of the cast, particularly the fisherman themselves. A lot of the singing is acapella aswell and beautifully harmonized which adds such an Aire of vocal strength and atmosphere. Some fantastic original songs too including 'Village down by the sea' fabulously performed by Parisa Shahmir as Alwyn the landlords daughter. Uplifting, fun and tow tapping from start to finish- loved it and the view from my usual seat at the back in the upper circle was just the job!
