Blackbeard's Tea Party - Whip Jamboree Tour

Event information

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.

The six-piece folk-rock band appear at The Cumberland Arms as part of their first UK tour. The run of live dates coincides with the release of their second full-length album Whip Jamboree, the follow-up to 2009's critically acclaimed Tomorrow We'll Be Sober.

Support comes from "The Elephant Sessions" - a Neo-trad quartet from the Highlands of Scotland - and "Thieving Herer" who are a folk four piece from Hexham, Northumberland playing a range of traditional and original folk and blues choons from across the globe.
