Blackbeard's Tea Party

Anarchic, fun-loving folk rock. Modern day glam rock pirates. Making sea-shanties cool since 2009.

Blackbeard’s 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.

They have taken to festival stages across the UK and beyond, including; Glastonbury, Cambridge Folk Festival, Fairport’s Cropredy Convention, the Rainforest World Music Festival in Borneo, 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, choreography, and stage antics, leaving audiences breathless and hungry for more.
