The real-life tale of a group of singing fishermen from Cornwall can be seen on the big screen in St Albans.
Biographical comedy-drama Fisherman's Friends (12A) is showing at The Alban Arena on Wednesday, June 12 at 1.30pm and 7.30pm.
The film stars an ensemble cast headed by James Purefoy, Daniel Mays and Tuppence Middleton, with David Hayman, Dave Johns, Noel Clarke, Maggie Stead, Sam Swainsbury and Christian Brassington playing key supporting roles.
A fast-living, cynical London music executive reluctantly heads to Cornwall on a colleague's stag weekend where he's pranked by his boss into trying to sign a group of shanty singing fishermen.
He becomes the ultimate 'fish out of water', struggling to gain the respect or enthusiasm of the unlikely boy band who value friendship and community over fame and fortune.

Attempting to overcome the fishermen's scepticism about the music business, he finds himself drawn into the community, has his integrity tested and ultimately is shown the meaning of loyalty, love and friendship.
This forces him to re-evaluate what really matters in life; ultimately giving him the chance of a different kind of success.
