About this Event

In their four years together, Blackbeard's Tea Party have built a reputation as one of the most formidable live acts on the folk circuit. This was cemented in 2012 by a plethora of crowded festival shows at the likes of Cambridge, Sidmouth and Shrewsbury. In striking the perfect balance between traditional material and contemporary arrangements, Blackbeard's Tea Party's fans range from the most committed folkies to the most hardcore of rockers.

Following a stratospheric take off with their double parter UK headline tour in 2013, the six-piece folk-rock band now embark on their first 2014 tour due to popular demand. This run of live dates continues to support their second full-length album Whip Jamboree, which scampered up the Amazon mp3 Folk Charts to enjoy the view at #4 for the duration of their 2013 Easter tour, as well as receiving glowing critical acclaim and commercial success.
