Pyrates!

Pyrates! Are an award-winning sea shanty folk rock band who will take you on a musical excursion across the oceans themselves as they breathe new life back into sea shanties, traditional songs, old folk favourites and ballads whose origins have been forgotten and lost in time.

Known for their energetic and up-tempo performances, Pyrates!
will be sure to have you tapping your foot and singing along in no time as they take to the stage with their unique brand of folk rock and maritime music.

Pyrates! have been touring across Europe for well over a decade and have entertained tens of thousands of people at hundreds of shows in a dozen countries across the globe, making a name for themselves in the festival scene across the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Germany and Poland.
