"All roads lead to The Fisherman's Friends!" So said broadcast legend and long-time fan, Jo Whiley on the BBC's Glastonbury coverage this year just after the boys had sung their Cornish hearts out on the Avalon Stage to rapturous applause from a packed crowd. And who can argue? This year they've reached 104,000 followers on Facebook, signed a fifth album deal with Island Records. On top of the 50,000 concert tickets they sold last year with another 250,000 sold for Fisherman's Friends: The Musical, while their two feature films have grossed $15 million at the UK box office. This is their heir tenth album All Aboard, The music is a mixture of floor fillers from the 18th century and a couple of rogue ones from the 20th & 21st thrown in for good measure, this album is everything you want it to be; with stirring songs from the sea, often poignant but mostly foot-stomping, rip-roaring fun!
