UK | 2019 | Chris Foggin

A cynical London music executive who finds himself in Cornwall one weekend tries to sign an unorthodox “boy band” to his record label. It’s a group of ten rugged fishermen who sing sea shanties—and who prize traditional values like friendship and community over fame and fortune. Inspired by a true story, this tuneful, crowd-pleasing comedy proved so popular in Britain that a sequel is already in the works. “A formulaic but thoroughly amiable and upbeat British comedy with a flavour of Ealing Studios and The Full Monty about it.” –Independent (UK). Cleveland premiere. 112 min.
