'''The Liverpool Fishermen''' was an early 1970s Liverpool folk singing group consisting of [[Brian Jacques]], his brothers Tony Jacques (older) and Jimmy Jacques (younger), and other Liverpudlians Bobby Dyson, Alan Fitzgerald, and Bernard "Bernie" Davis. Stan Francis also played in the band for a stint.<br />

<br />
The group was active as of February [[1970]]; Brian Jacques had departed the group as of [[1973]].<br />
<br />
The Jacques brothers were the vocalists; Dyson played guitar and banjo; Fitzgerald played 12 and 6 string guitars, and Davis also played banjo.<br />
<br />
Their musical repertoire included "traditional and contemporary, Irish and Liverpool songs, monologues, etc."<br />
<br />
Jimmy and Tony Jacques later emigrated to New Zealand, which led to the conclusion of The Liverpool Fishermen; Tony passed away there in [[1998]]. After 12 years, Jimmy returned to the UK to assist with the ''[[Redwall]]'' business.<br />
<br />
All members of The Liverpool Fishermen were born and raised in Liverpool, and described themselves as having a strong penchant for beer - often times Guinness. Their advertising stated that they performed "wakes, weddings, Irish fights, folk clubs, <nowiki>[and]</nowiki> French TV."<br />
