Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends - A Drop of Nelsons Blood

[@110adventures7]

This group will always have a place in my heart, I took my mum to see the film after she was diagnosed with cancer. It was the 1st time I'd seen her smile in a while.

[@kiwialaskan6978]

I hope your mum's health has improved. Kia kaha my friend.

[@chrisevans3170]

Best wish's to your mum

[@110adventures7]

@chrisevans3170 Unfortunately, she passed away in late August. Still in my thoughts.

[@chroniclesofbap6170]

Nelson's blood: Rum. Nelson's body was preserved at sea in Rum. It was said that some sailors took surreptitious sips at the Rum, giving us the phrase "Tapping the Admiral" meaning "Drinking Rum"

[@hughbrennan9066]

Brandy.

[@carollizc]

And was exchanged along the route for brandy wine, which had a higher alcohol content. Makes you wonder why they had to press sailors into service.

[@sigspearthumb2313]

What did they use? Martell or Courvoisier?

[@jenmorris1724]

Brandy

[@southernblueblood5402]

They found out that using the quills from their pens could be stuck in-between the slats of the barrel to obtain the ill-gotten liquid. 👍

[@kevinp7253]

With all the world changing, there is one group that will never change, that group is sailors. Brothers and sisters of the sea. It’s a club few will know and few will ever experience.

[@paultanker5606]

G'day to you! My Wife , Daughter and Son in law and I were there back in 2018 amazing Place ,Beautiful, we was blown away seeing the Movie and realizing we had been there! Perth Western Aust.

[@ianpowell1849]

These guys are fantastic I wish it was like this during my time in the merchant navy I could imagine this playing coming through the straits of homouse in the persion gulf

[@OwlsInATeacup]

Pros and cons I suppose, at least no one was getting keel hauled, hopefully!😅 These guys are so good aren’t they! 😊

[@Wizzy-Waywell]

I often listen to this Vid to cheer myself up as the guy leading it just makes me smile, what a top bloke he is, the other guys are spot on with their harmony one of my all time fav vids on you tube this

[@keeneyeful]

It's the stash and his voice!!! Jon Cleave is his name I believe.

[@steph121055]

Been to see the new movie best one I’ve seen in a long time , very happy & sad movie but worth another trip to the cinema

[@movesky6696]

i enjoy film sing a long

[@rogeriolima9974]

I was with my wife.... alone in the cinema

[@richallenxbox1976]

You'll be pleased to know then that there's a sequel coming next year, it should've been out week before last, but the Covid restrictions put paid to that.

[@Achilles66666]

When I was a boy sailor in 1974 at HMS Ganges we were expected to learn the sea shanty's happy days never to be carried on in this politically correct world my heart weeps for the old world 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@scavarli6068]

Great harmony and singing. They're a good group.

[@winolou72]

How anyone can watch that without a smile and a foot-tap is beyond me. Well done lads - just bought your CD. Keep it up :)

[@michelejbatten9621]

+wino lou Agreed! And I was born French!

[@madamguillotine6819]

+1 purchase

[@tash8430]

I just love how they're so casual. Jeans, tshirt, beer. Why not!!

[@heatherallisonhames6703]

oh my god I love these guys! I agree with 'wino lou' , I had my foot tapping and a big smile as I listened.

[@oliverwilliams7582]

Anyone else thinks theyd love to go drinking with these lads!!😍😍🍻🍻

[@Gill-Leeds]

Deffo,🍺🍺🍺🍺👍

[@chrisevans3170]

Oh yes

[@TimJohnsonBizNet3]

I'd rather go singing with them. The drinks are included.

[@sheilabarker3688]

Seen them ,spent many a holiday in Port issac ,fantastic. Love their music

[@JamieMonk]

Just saw them during the Jubilee celebrations. This should be the national anthem!

[@kubinka879]

I was there, they finished and came down into the crowd to party. They were left to get on with it ,no rushing to get hinges signed. Rugby commentator Stuart Barnes sat with them, he was mortal. Great night, great festival.

[@TonyTheDriver100]

You can tell what a cultured group this is by the beer they drink!

[@StargateAdventures]

A proper of Englishman never says no to a tin of Ale ;)

[@TonyTheDriver100]

Of course. I think they're drinking Old Speckled Hen. It lubricates the larynx admirably!

[@DerMitten]

The Glastonbury Ferryman Til GK ruined the recipe.

[@PrincessNinja007]

And you can tell that I'm an ignorant swine, because I thought it was Budweiser.

[@alanfotheringham3089]

Best beers in the world. Can't beat a pint of the hen or the hobgoblin. Wets the whistle perfectly.

[@hbw7615]

Saw them at the Barbican in London last night. Brilliant!!

[@merseybeast76]

Fantastic harmonies, and it's good to Charles Bronson finally got parole

[@itzmeaid1233]

They let him out just for this

[@DanielEgan313]

[@johnparton2209]

[@roblin50]

[@Xerothot]

Einfach nur geil. Powerful sea shanty strait from the heart, bravo.

[@viscountslappy5085]

This makes me nostalgic for that summer in 1850 when I was on that whaling ship!

[@braindrain8922]

we were lucky to meet one of the real fishermens friend in Port Isaac last week

[@pamkellow1605]

I like going up and spotting them going around the village

[@Mathertron]

Cornish spirit. Shanty forever, wouldn't do us any harm

[@JMaverick1985]

This is just fantastic

[@saraandhughtuckey1284]

Fantastic voice 👌

[@matthewtylergee]

My man on the far left has the most heart in this with that mustache and beer in his hand. 🤣

[@Iraqvet-gs9eb]

Doc Martin brought me here. Love it !

[@patriciapatrician6516]

How is that?

[@johnrambo8149]

I was looking for John the Fisherman. was not disappoint.

[@gabafabawo]

+John Rambo disappointed*

[@gabafabawo]

+fuku gugelples i'm sorry, you are the man. you rule. i wish i were you

[@NormanMatchem]

Actually picked up a bottle of the 15 year old Pusser's Rum a few months back. I only have it on the rare occasion, but it's quite good. Strange to think that it was brewed in the 20th century. Has it really been over 14 years? Got the 100 year anniversary of WWI starting come July 28th, and on June 28th there recently was the 100 year anniversary of Archduke Franz Ferdinand being assassinated by Gavril Princip, if I've got their names right. Anyways, a drop of Nelson's Blood won't do you any harm, and it certainly hasn't done me any harm. Best rum going, and this song is easily one of my favourite folk style songs to drink to. CHEERS!

[@andysinclair1161]

NormanMatchem You need to try Pussers 'Gunpowder' 😊

[@chrisevans3170]

Cant say am keen on the damn good floggin but am up for the rest of it

[@PaulineHolmes-hu4nc]

See you at Buxton May 7th. Can't wait.. Pauline & Gary

[@Savage23110]

"And some rum beer 'nd bacci, wouldn't do us any 'arm!"

[@mobisev]

first guy is exactly as I pictured him haha

[@sleepingspider]

This is what we should sing outside the Spanish Embassy and on Gib.

[@steph121055]

Me to infact Iam going back to see the film again tomorrow & I can’t wait

[@NormanMatchem]

Very interesting, first time I heard this song, I imagine I'll have a fair few shots of rum to it, wouldn't do me any harm lol

[@TheSuperfrazer]

The leads voice is fantastic, the rest too.

[@4our1ne75]

John cleave should be king of the world

[@cbjgdicad1]

I thought Charles Bronson was still locked up

[@iroscoe]

Must of let him out on day release .

[@iainarmstrong1164]

[@TravisLoneWolfWalsh]

[@RedBeardedLife]

3 people need a damn good flogging

[@keeneyeful]

[@darlac10155]

58 people that don't have an appreciation for a Great Lead Singer's Voice !

[@UAV-BPLA-CK]

фильм Друзья рыбака хорош своей музыкой

[@wayneroberts3871]

Brilliant!!

[@chrisevans3170]

It is good there is a 2nd movie on the way

[@loucypher9213]

I'm glad the men here found some recognition for what they were doing and, hipsters hijacking it notwithstanding, it's good that the sea songs have got a higher profile now - due in part, in this country, to this band, no doubt. However...compared to David Coffin's performance at the Portsmouth Festival, I find this version a little...bloodless, and pedestrian.

[@Dolf972672003]

This one feels more realistic to me. David Coffin sounded too professional to me, where the lead in this version sounds more like a sailor instead of a professional singer.

[@loucypher9213]

@@Dolf972672003 Curious - to me, this version feels like it's had all the rough edges knocked-off and the balls cut-off. Ah, well, it's subjective, so to each their own. 😉

[@Tommy1977777]

That lead with the handlebar mustache is carrying the others.

[@Dkownsyou]

Awesome I am gonna listen to this song on my new gaming page THIS IS LIT for COD

[@organicacid7859]

Sea of thieves isn't too bad either. 🏴‍☠️

[@PepanekDC]

[@johnsnow748]

[@johnsnow748]

[@TheWolfElder]

[@notronsivart]

For some of us the floggin and the girls are all in the same night.

[@chrispanossian]

Pillars of Eternity Deadfire brought me here.

[@jonnygranville281]

By God I could do with a lil drop of Nelson's blood. Sober as a judge and wishing I wasn't.

[@NinjaSushi2]

1:05 Interchange flogging for fucking. He was singing the nice version. hahaha

[@JohnDoe-lx3dt]

I didn’t know Charles bronson was released to do some shanties

[@tuggben5510]

Isnt this one called The old chariot? And you can change the lyric however you choose in before that :)

[@andrewsmith7190]

Just to let you know, one of these singers and their tour manager died were killed in Guildford on Saturday. An accident at a gig.

[@chrisevans3170]

Rip

[@munchybiker]

Nelson's Blood a fine drink.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@janetthackwray9593]

Try Lord. Nelson ,the Rocks in Sydney.

[@martinlancelott3764]

Love it all apart from "a damn good floggin' wouldn't do us any harm" Brilliant to hear the old shantys and their lyrics but I also would like these fellers to write their own - now that the Ca'pn of the ship is not listening. Incredibly sorry to hear of the accident. A Yorkshireman pays respect to very talented men.

[@chrisevans3170]

Kids to day need a damn good floggin i had em growing up ever did me no harm

[@kassegitar]

These guys make me thirsty. Wonderful.

[@madshansen2911]

[@liampresser1739]

[@ronanquinn8503]

Some rum beer and baccy wouldn’t do us any harm !

[@SlazengerRed2005-ft6dq]

Rodeo...

[@grandsonofsamnifdy4266]

Fuckin love it, proud of you. Eventually a richt guid song fae England . Scot.

[@dovie2blue]

A great pyrate song! Love it, but I miss the drums that are on the CD!

[@WhiteCavendish]

The song is actually called "Roll the Old Chariot Along." "Nelson's Blood" is actually brandy - when Nelson's body was borne back from Trafalgar, his coffin was filled with brandy to preserve his corpse, afterward "Nelson's Blood" became a slang term for Brandy.

[@CostcoComrade]

these guys all look like they have infinite knowledge of fishing

[@br1ck69]

gotta love the fish fingers these guys do

[@arclightredux6088]

I am no longer allowed to have any of those things. Apparently they would do me some harm.

[@kingvoid5772]

💙

[@veslaskigirl]

I thought the name of this was Roll The Old Charitot Along.

[@bobothegreat5246]

It goes by both A Drop of Nelson Blood and Roll The Old Chariot Along actually
