Blackbeard’s Tea Party
Advance Price: £16
Be prepared to stamp your wooden legs: Blackbeard’s Tea
Party are back with their latest album ‘We Are People’.
Blackbeard’s Tea Party continue to put their signature twist
on British folk music with a contemporary rock sound. On this new collection
they explore the past and the present to ask what it means to be British right
now – from personal, political and piratical perspectives.
On the ‘We Are People’ tour they will
perform these new tracks along with classics from their back catalogue.
Sea-shanties are given a bombastic rock edge, and folk instrumentals become
late-night floor-fillers when this raucous bunch of reprobates hit the stage.
They have dirt under their fingernails and a twinkle in their eyes, and you can
expect fantastic musicianship, playful choreography and an unstoppable urge to
move your body.
Electric guitars, fiddle, melodeon, drums and 4-part
harmonies combine to create music that is drenched in tradition, but filtered
through a kaleidoscope of modern rock and pop.
‘Contemporary folk rock at its most infectious’ R2
‘York’s answer to The Pogues, but with cleaner
fingernails’ The Telegraph
‘Blackbeard’s Tea Party restored my faith in
foot-tapping, fun, energy-packed music recently. In short: they make
shanties chic’ Roger Crow, Huffington Post
‘Gloriously wild, gamely OTT and sharp. This is
convincing and essential’ fRoots
‘Barnstorming buccaneers belting our riff-tastic folk
rock’ Songlines
