Hold on to your tri-corn hats and get ready to stamp your wooden legs – Blackbeard’s Tea Party are coming to Poppleton.

 

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, expect fantastic musicianship, playful choreography and an unstoppable urge to move your body.

​

Drums, electric guitars, fiddle, and 4-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, 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.
