Blackbeard’s Tea Party

Folk-rock rebels Blackbeard’s Tea Party celebrate 10 years of their seminal album ‘Reprobates’, a collection of stories about wrong’uns from history. They debuted material from the album during their now legendary appearance at Fairport’s Cropredy Convention, and it was the album that earned them thousands of new fans.

Mixing sounds of traditional folk and classic rock, Blackbeard’s Tea Party look back to the album that reviewers called “a hell of a lot of fun” (R2 Magazine), “convincing and essential” (fRoots) and “unforgettable and exceedingly invigorating” (Living Tradition).

In this exhilarating live show, the band revisit tracks from ‘Reprobates’, along with other songs of nefarious individuals – past and present – that pack their back catalogue. You’re guaranteed a loud and energetic performance that will bring out the devil inside you.

Drums, electric guitars, fiddle, melodeon and 4-part vocal harmonies combine to create music that is drenched in tradition, but filtered through a kaleidoscope of modern rock and pop. Established as the go-to band for late-night folkin’ shenanigans, Blackbeard’s Tea Party have played memorable sets at Glastonbury, Cambridge Folk Festival, Fairport’s Cropredy Convention, The Rainforest World Music Festival in Borneo and many more.

Tickets are £17 in advance (£19 on the door) and under 16s are half price
