Blackbeard’s Tea Party
Blackbeard’s Tea Party have been playing folk-rock together for over ten years. The band started out busking on the streets, but Blackbeard’s Tea Party are now more likely to be found on a festival stage, arts centre or rock venue.
Theirs is a well-known name amongst festival goers, having played at events as diverse as Glastonbury, Cambridge Folk Festival, Fairport’s Cropredy Convention, The Rainforest World Music Festival in Borneo, FolkEast, Towersey Festival and many more.
Traditional songs and tunes are given a rock edge with heavy riffs, playful arrangements and driving dance rhythms. Blackbeard’s Tea Party believe a live show should be a spectacle for the eyes as well as the ears. Outlandish outfits, DIY props, unhinged stage antics and chaotic choreography all add up to an engaging, high-octane show that frequently leaves audiences cheering for more.
