Among its members is ‘Professional Yorkshireman’ John McDonnell
Based on real life events, it’s a story that’s now set to continue as part of the forthcoming cinema release Fisherman’s Friends: One And All.
A succinct blend of comedic highs and heartfelt lows, Fisherman’s Friends: One And All is a joyful tale of the underdog, documenting the group’s triumphs as well as individual battles. Purefoy says the upcoming release is not only a continuation of the group’s real life tale but “shines a light on people and characters we hadn’t seen in the first films”. It’s a nod to co-star, who plays Aubrey Flynn, a character described as a “washed-up, notorious rock star” seeking a quieter life in Cornwall, who is perhaps the only person who can truly understand fisherman-turned-vocalist Jim’s battles on and off-stage.
“A story about community, family and friends, and those things being so important really acted as a kind of a balm and a sticking plaster on the nation and those who went to see it.” Describing the way in which his character’s increased reliance on alcohol is accompanied by anger and frustration, Purefoy says Jim begins “blaming the band and blaming his family for what’s going on around him”.
