Based on A true-life story of a Cornish folk band.

Edited by Johnny Daukes

The plot: After the highs of performing on the pyramid stage at Glastonbury, the group struggle with their second album. During a divisive tour of South Australia, they will trace their ancestors and embrace a new community, and discover their musical DNA.

This Fisherman sequel was Good.

Pros: I like this film being a follow-Up to the first film. This sequel had a lot of comedy and Light-hearted drama. You believe Jim’s situation within the film. The Main Storyline was Very Well handled, and I reacted to most of the songs that were playing within the movie.

Cons: My only issue will have to do with the performance by the Music executive who followed the group around.
