About this Act

The Captain's Beard perform energetic sea shanties, maritime folk, some cheeky pop and rock songs in a pirate style and traditional Scottish and Irish songs whilst dressed in full buccaneer regalia. YARR!

These sea worthy minstrels have honed their skills performing foot-stomping renditions of traditional maritime themed music with an emphasis on group singing and lively crowd interactive performance. Perfect for getting a party going and have even been known to perform on tall ships at pirate themed weddings!

The Captain's Beard are available to hire for weddings, birthdays other private functions, and if you've got a boat they'll play at it's christening (they promise not to plunder it.)
