Last July, we posted a video of the Fisherman’s Friends singing the chantey ‘South Australia.’   The group is made up of ten crab and lobster fishermen and their friends who live within half a nautical mile of each other in fishing village of Port Isaac in Cornwall.   They have recently  signed an album deal – said to be worth £1m – with Universal Music.   Universal Music also represents Lady Gaga and Amy Winehouse.  I wonder if there is any cross marketing potential. Perhaps Amy and Lady G could perform with Fisherman’s Friends?   Several chanties come immediately to mind.  Spanish Ladies, Liverpool Judies and perhaps Whiskey in the Jar might be good fits.  Thanks to Alaric Bond for passing the article along.
