Sea shanties are given a bombastic rock edge, while folk instrumentals become late-night floor-fillers when this raucous bunch of reprobates hit the stage.

With dirt under their fingernails and a twinkle in their eyes, expect fantastic musicianship, playful choreography, and an unstoppable urge to move your body.Drums, electric guitars, fiddle, and soaring four-part vocal harmonies combine to create music drenched in tradition but filtered through a kaleidoscope of modern rock and pop.Established as the go-to band for late-night folkin shenanigans, Blackbeards Tea Party have spent over seventeen years forging their distinctive brand of folk-rock, evolving from street buskers into a festival mainstay and established touring act.

Theyve wowed crowds at major festivals across the UK and beyond, including Glastonbury Festival, Cambridge Folk Festival, Fairports Cropredy Convention, Rainforest World Music Festival, Wilderness Festival, Towersey Festival, and many more.Blending traditional tunes and songs with anarchic glam-rock energy, heavy riffs, and driving dance rhythms, their high-impact shows feature outlandish costumes, stage antics, and infectious energy that leave audiences breathless and hungry for more.Their latest single, Stand Up Now, was released in April and continues to showcase the bands trademark fusion of folk tradition and riotous rock spectacle.www.blackbeardsteaparty.com [https://www.blackbeardsteaparty.com/]
