    UK special edition pressing includes bonus tracks. The Fisherman's Friends are shanty singers-each of whom are or have been fishermen, lifeboat men and coastguards (as well as builders, artisans, hoteliers, and shop keepers) in the local area-from Port Isaac on Cornwall's rugged north coast. At around eight in the evening during the summer months, tourists and locals gather to hear this ten-man group sing a rousing set of shanties and Cornish folk songs. This album, recorded in a 15th-century church in nearby St Kew, features a rich haul of 12 songs from their Port Isaac repertoire, including the classic 'South Australia', the haunting Cornish robber ballad 'The Cadgwith Anthem' and the beautiful 'Brightly Beams'.
