PORT ISAAC'S Fisherman's Friends will play a free show and meet fans at HMV's Truro store on Thursday, April 29, at 5pm.

The 10-strong sea shanty group will be celebrating the release of their debut album Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends.

The event will begin with a live performance, after which the band will remain in store to meet fans and sign copies of the new album, which is officially released through Universal on Monday. They have been performing together since 1995, and signed to Universal in March. Their self-titled debut was recorded in a 15th century church in St Kew.
