I’m from South Australia. Just watched Fisherman’s Friends on Netflix and loved it.

[@velvetleaves6442]

Same. Watching the movie and here I am. I'm pretty sure I've heard this turn used in local adverts. It's very familiar.

[@TIAB986]

Just watched the movie on channel 4 on saturday night and I fell in love with the music. My family has connection with Cornwall but I never visited but this movie has inspired me to find out more. Thanks to Fisherman Friends!

[@BarrioFabulous]

Big thanks from a Texan who can't stop listening.

[@NavyCWO]

Many of their songs are over 200 years old, yet they still ring out in our hearts especially those of us who've made our living on the sea.

[@emlix1]

In this life or a previous one.

[@grahamt5924]

Just being English, these songs run very deep. Hearing people in a pub singing these brings a sense of togetherness like nothing else I know.

[@Tex_Sails]

And those of us who live to be at sea ….. ⛵️ to the edges of the earth

[@liambirt7079]

My family came from cornawll to South Australia in 1840. My dad has the ship and passenger list from then. I watched the movie tonight and loved it. Your songs are great. Im South Australian with Cornish history

[@velvetleaves6442]

I grew up in a fishing town in South Australia and am currently watching the movie, Fishermans Friends. I was watching it and thinking how familiar the boat scenes are to me. 5 min later, I've paused it to watch this. Mind blown. Im sure ive heard this tune in local advertising, but I am blown away by this song being sung by these amazing singers, singing abput sailing to my home. If you're ever in Adelaide, where I now live, go and see the City of Adelaide clipper ship that is being restored at Port Adelaide. The history of this ship will expand on this song. Ok, back to the movie...

[@dehonore]

Great version. This was a favorite after matches at my English Rugby Club in the 90’s. One of our mates would sing it, and the rest of us would sing the chorus. When we won promotion, we gathered together in our A’s, and with a pint in our hands, a telephone was held up as we sang it to one of our club legends. He was in hospital battling cancer. I wept like a baby. Rest Easy My CPRFC Brother……..

[@maddyg3208]

I sang this when I was bound for South Australia ... all the way driving west from Melbourne. 😀

[@scratchpad7954]

Why is this song such a criminally underrated gem?! This kind of music sings to the core of my soul!

[@timelliot9110]

We have had a generation who have thrown away our heritage, and replaced it with Hollywood drivel.

[@reemaravikashni9570]

😮

[@btf_flotsam478]

It comes from Australia/New Zealand, like most good sea shanties (there's a reason why the Wellerman succeeded where Scottish 'sea shanties' failed), but is too blatantly about that area for the -stupid- ignorant people from the North Atlantic.

[@stephensnell5707]

​@@btf_flotsam478you dickhead,this song is PURELY CORNISH AND FROM THE FISHERMANS' FRIENDS SINGERS OF PORT ISAAC IN CORNWALL

[@DuramaterOZ]

As a South Aussie born of Cornish descent, I love this version!

[@dannypolglase]

Same!

[@sarahforbes4207]

Same for me

[@ADerpyReality]

If you reflect cornish seafarer is the origin of the hard to replicate Australian accent. Well it's a hypothesis but looking back on it it lines up.

[@jlewisda]

Shoot, I'm a Texan from one of the flattest prairies on earth, and I love this song. Good on ya, mate.

[@danielstone9404]

@@jlewisda During South Australia's 150th jubilee, same year that Texas (cough cough) 'joined' the United States, Adelaide the capital city had a sister city relationship with Austin.

[@uporoff]

I used to sing this to my kids when they were little.

[@irakaiser9781]

My grandfather was a Cornish man, this music just gets inside you. TY

[@lindathomas5500]

The Cornish have always sung, the miners, fishermen and field workers. I remember as a small child in the late 60’s early 70’s, being in a pub with my parents, and someone would start singing and before you knew it the whole pub was singing lol…

[@jerrykelliker1731]

Just discovered Fishermans friends! From the movie. Love this stuff.

[@sararussell6498]

My grandad use to sing songs like this. I have photos of him and his merchant navy crew mates from ww2 & his ships. Thanks for this video Reminds me of my grandad singing. Xx

[@vietcoffeebeans660]

Their harmonies are always so perfect and rounded out to make that lovely rich sound.

[@tylerkent9012]

Proud to say i'm Cornish and live not far from these guys! Such a good band! Cornwall has an amazing folk band!

[@knitsandsparks]

I am so in love with these gentlemen. Would love to sing just once along side ! ⚓️

[@captainbeaky]

Get you down to Port Isaac on a Friday evening in the summer - the lads regularly do open-air concerts down at the harbour (The Platt). Dates are usually listed on their social media.

[@TotallyNotElPresidente]

I just watched Fisherman's Friends (the film), i've been into sea shanties and sea songs ever since The Wellerman went viral, this is for sure one of my favorite tunes of theirs.

[@ankemieczkowski9994]

Hello. This ist Anke from Germany. I'm living in the North Sea region and a singer and musician (Hobby) within a choir performing sea shanties. We all love these guys and I watched the film about them. Wonderful, amazing.

[@shadowthief9577]

Australian? English? It doesn't matter what nation you come from. You can still enjoy this song. :)

[@karlanderson7780]

So true.

[@texgum833]

[@SinisterEMU]

my ancestors were cornish and also smugglers and pirates. im glad to be part cornish. Ive been to cornwall 8 times its so amazing. I feel like im at home there.

[@speedysteve5229]

Wonderful. I come from Australia and always loved this song as a kid.

[@itiname]

Best version I have heard I a long time. I am new to Fishman ' s Friends, they are great.

[@Pinstripes84]

I had a mobile phone video of these guys sent to me, took me ages to work out who they were. Eventually had to ask Dad. But when their album come out I bought it ! It is the first CD I have bought in almost a decade. Download most of my music, but with guys they deserve all the credit they get and whatever they reap from their music

[@The-English-VCF-Podcast]

[@KingJ.O.the1st2003]

My favorite part is when you guys repeat “heave away, haul away” And “we’re bound for south Australia”.

[@jodyjohnsen]

Well, that was fun. These guys are a blast.

[@janebovary626]

Just great…❤️

[@emersonazzanifrancisquine7816]

[@paulinef6570]

I love it !!! Sorry I'm french 🙂 je suis fille de pêcheurs .. c'est magnifique

They are amazing. The music and lyrics are great. I recently discovered this group after watching the movie "Fisherman's Friends". I can't stop listening to them.🥰💯

[@donalbrosnan586]

A real song telling a real story not this pop music junk that is forgotten in a week, songs like this will be around in 100 years that tells you how good it is. It also goes to show we are all Celts, respect from Ireland.

[@sweetluvnwill698]

November 2 2020 and I am just now listening to this lovely song.

[@DariusOfPersia]

In South Australia, I was born Heave away, haul away! South Australia, round Cape Horn We're bound for South Australia! Haul away, you rolling king! Heave away, haul away! Haul away, you'll hear me sing "We're bound for South Australia!" As I went out one morning fair Heave away, haul away! 'Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair We're bound for South Australia! Haul away, you rolling king! Heave away, haul away! Haul away, you'll hear me sing "We're bound for South Australia!" I shook her up, I shook her down Heave away, haul away! I shook her round about the town We're bound for South Australia! Haul away, you rolling king! Heave away, haul away! Haul away, you'll hear me sing "We're bound for South Australia!" There was but one thing creased my mind Heave away, haul away! 'Twas to leave Miss Nancy Blair behind We're bound for South Australia! Haul away, you rolling king! Heave away, haul away! Haul away, you'll hear me sing "We're bound for South Australia!" As we went down around Cape Horn Heave away, haul away! You'll wish to God you'd never been born We're bound for South Australia! Haul away, you rolling king! Heave away, haul away! Haul away, you'll hear me sing "We're bound for South Australia!" In South Australia, I was born Heave away, haul away! South Australia, round Cape Horn We're bound for South Australia! Haul away, you rolling king! Heave away, haul away! Haul away, you'll hear me sing "We're bound for South Australia!"

You don't have to be Australian to enjoy this, but you won't hear us Aussie complaining. One of the best bands and films I've seen in some years!

[@hellooohowareudoing]

It's an English outward bound sea shanty. Australians should still be proud because whoever wrote this loved the country!

[@ctc.stockscryptotrading581]

Cornish and proud

My mother is an Australian, and we visit the families over there ever few years or so, and this is so nice, I'm an american sadly

[@davidsaunders1125]

A great arrangement and even greater performance ! I play the accordion and I am using this performance to learn the tune. There are plenty of other arrangements , but this is the best !

[@brapting1]

Reminds me of seeing them as the Shanty Singers in Port Isaac. Every time I come back I can't wait for the Friday to hear them.

[@Savage23110]

they dont even need the backing music they are superb the way they are!!!! i know this because i saw them at cambridge ;)

[@ripcordallen7834]

Thank you guys for this shanty. For almost the past 2 years I have been following the voyage of HMS Beagle on its 5-year 2nd voyage and have been sharing my "Doin' the Beagle Fantasy Air Cruise 2017-2019" (flying the route in a flight simulator) with my friends on Facebook. Her third and final world voyage was back to Australia (west and north coast survey work) and I needed a tune for this in my summary of her final days in my logbook and for my friends. This just hit the mark and is a great memento for a great little ship that changed the world.

[@appolon7242c]

you gentlmen are the absolute best, keep it up, love your music :)

[@ReverendPop]

Nobody can belt them out like the fisherman's friends

[@DBCooper00x]

God I love listening to that song. Dedicated to Haley F and her boys, A and L. You know who you are, and you know who I am 😁😘

Wow! That Bass note at the end!!! Sooooo looooooow!

I love this song!

[@2tfts]

I use Pandora radio while I play games. My Great Big Sea channel plays alot of these songs which I now know are from Port Isaacs Fishermen and I LOVE them all!

[@seanstevens7148]

you go for it, and never let anyone tell you any different!

[@paulgildan4388]

Great performance of a great sea shanty. I have listened to it many times and still enjoy it very much each time I listen to it again. Not an Aussie here, just an over-the-hill Texan. I also like much classical opera: good music by any name, to paraphrase the Bard.
