Fisherman’s Friends to celebrate 30 Years On The Road with Royal & Derngate gig

Having sold out every venue on their last tour - which included a show at the Royal Albert Hall - the band will head to the Northampton venue on Friday, April 10, 2026 with tickets available from 10am this Friday.

Fisherman’s Friends have two feature films to their name which have grossed more than $15 million at the UK box office.

Not to mention top 10 albums, a musical inspired by their story, a BBC Folk Award, a best-selling book and TV documentary.

They have also performed on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, to 80,000 rugby fans at Twickenham, on Strictly Come Dancing and at The Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

In January they released their fifth album ‘All Aboard’ on Island Records, a relationship that has lasted for 15 years.

This summer their song ‘Brave Volunteers’ - a collaboration with Seth Lakeman and part of Radio 2’s ‘21st Century Folk’ - was playlisted at Radio 2.

All of this and more has been achieved while holding down their day jobs.

The Fisherman's Friends are lobster fisherman Jeremy Brown, author and shopkeeper Jon Cleave, smallholder and engineer John ‘Lefty’ Lethbridge, builder John McDonnell, Padstow fisherman Jason Nicholas, filmmaker Toby Lobb, electrician Simon Biddick and two very talented musicians Marcus Bonfanti and Simon Johnson.

Over the last year, the band reached more than 100,000 followers on Facebook.

Tickets are available from Friday, November 1 at 10am via www.gigsandtours.com
