Skiddle: The UK's biggest guide to festivals

There's so many amazing festivals out there but it can be difficult to work out which festivals you're going to attend. There's so many things to take into consideration - the location of the festival, the size of the festival, the genre of music, whether it's family friendly and the type of facilities onsite.

Skiddle's new Festivals Finder is here to make the process that bit easier. Simply use the Festivals Finder's unique festival search, which include options allowing you to search for festivals based on filters such as location; month; genres; type; size; accommodation; amenities and even the artists you've liked on Facebook!

With a film based on their incredible true story about to hit cinemas screens, the Fisherman’s Friends are getting ready to hit the road for a string of live dates.

The original ‘buoy band’, bound together by lifelong friendship and shared experience, for more than a quarter of a century they have met on the Platt on the harbour in their native Port Isaac to sing the songs of the sea.

It’s nearly ten years since Island Records persuaded the Fisherman’s Friends to sign the record deal that saw their album ​Port Isaac’s Fisherman’s Friends
​ sell Gold as they became the first traditional folk act to land a UK top ten album.

The story of how that happened is now the subject of a hit British film starring Daniel Mays, James Purefoy, Tuppence Middleton and Noel Clarke. Directed by Chris Foggin the film opens in UK cinemas on 3 December and is already tipped to be a feel good hit of the year.

Cornwall’s best-known musical export, the Fisherman’s Friends have also been the subject of an ITV documentary, released the hit albums ​One and All (2013), Proper Job (2015) and ​Sole Mates (2018) and every year play to tens of thousands of fans at home and abroad.

The Fisherman’s Friends are: fisher brothers John and Jeremy Brown; writer/shopkeeper Jon Cleave; potter Billy Hawkins; smallholder and engineer John ‘Lefty’ Lethbridge; builder John McDonnell (a Yorkshireman who visited Port Isaac more than 30 years ago and never left); Padstow fisherman Jason Nicholas and film maker Toby Lobb.
