Yarrr! The Captain's Beard perform upbeat pirate-themed rum-driven folk rock and Sea Shanties that are bound to get all the drunken sailors dancing. We've got years of experience playing birthdays, weddings and corporate functions all over the UK, high quality musicianship both instrumentally and when singing 4 part harmony sea shanties. We'll bring crab buckets of energy to performing everything from well known covers such as "Dirty old Town" and "I would walk 500 miles" to Shanties and Whaling Songs like "The Wellerman" and "What shall we do with the drunken sailor" to Irish folk bangers like "I'll tell me ma" and "The Wild Rover."
The perfect band for a pirate, mermaid or seaside event or for a wedding, birthday or function where you're looking for something different to make your event completely unique.
