Caravanners who holiday in the Cornish town of Port Isaac may have seen The Fisherman's Friends performing during their stay.
However, the ten-strong band now have something in common with the likes of Lady Gaga, Amy Winehouse and Take That.
According to caravan site operator Parkdean, the group has been signed to Universal in a £1 million recording deal that will see a number of their sea shanties, traditional tunes and folk music made into an album.
Their big break came after record producer Rupert Christies visited the village on a family holiday and saw them perform in a local pub.
As well as their recording deal, The Fisherman's Friends will also play at this year's Glastonbury festival.
Those who wish to see Port Isaac could stay at Parkdean's St Minver Holiday Park, which is just six miles away and offers access to "stunning beaches and pretty villages nearby".
Meanwhile, Parkdean has published a list of fun attractions in Cornwall, which may be of use to holidaymakers.
