@blackbeardstp.bsky.social The things you find while house clearing. Don't think I'm going to brew it up.

FOLKIES! Long-shot, but does anyone know anything about this album called ‘Bygone Christmas’. It’s been a big festive favourite in my family for years. 24 unaccompanied songs in 3-part harmonies, carols and Christmassy folk songs, but no info on the liner notes about who is singing.

Brilliant @blackbeardstp.bsky.social gig in York this evening! They bring such amazing fun and energy to their gigs and the Christmas show is always something special. Lovely to chat with Stuart and Laura afterwards too, looking forward to seeing you somewhere at another gig next year!

We’ve played our annual Christmas knees-up for years at The Crescent, York. We’ve sold it out on the night before, but never over a week in advance. What a thrill. So looking forward to playing a few festive favourites in York and Stowmarket this weekend.

Candid quotes from the dressing room: “You don’t want to be getting into a sandwich-off with my mum.”

Having forgotten that Elf on the Shelf begins tomorrow, this was quite a weird thing to walk in on at 1.30am after a gig and a two hour drive. It seems Dolly is losing strip Uno badly.

A toy elf, a cuddly toy dog and a nude dolly have been sat on a table together, holding UNO cards, as if mid-game.

It was lovely to meet Lucy last night. Her first gig and her 8th birthday. Is it obvious that she rather idolises Laura?

Four members of Blackbeard’s Tea Party pose for a photo with a young fan, Lucy. All look joyfully into the camera. Laura from the band and Lucy are dressed similarly in black leather jackets, and both with plaits in their hair.

Overheard at the merch table: “The melodeon player is very sexy.” First time for everything.

A bottle of Beyoncé’s rye whisky for my birthday… my band mates know me too well.

Lovely to have so many new followers joining us on Bluesky! If you don’t know us already, we’re a folk-rock band from the UK and it’s Stuart posting. Here are some recent photos, courtesy of Late Developer.

Laura plays the fiddle while Dave duets on the same instrument with chopsticks. They are on stage, captured in the middle of a shout, with bright stage lights in the background.

Stuart with a microphone to his mouth, one hand in the air, on stage with lights in the background. His sequinned tasseled jacket is captured moving, twinkling in the lights. He also wears a mirror ball helmet.

Laura, on stage, smiling, playing fiddle, backed by stage lights.

Paddy and Ben, playing bass guitar and electric guitar respectively, stand facing each other and smiling. They’re on stage backed by stage lights.

All day I've had one song in my head: 'Jack Ketch' by the amazing @blackbeardstp.bsky.social - but the bad guy protagonist's name keeps coming out wrong - I keep singing "I'm Matt Gaetz!"🤣

I've started up a starter pack loosely based around the UK folk and traditional music scene and will be adding to it all the time. If you can think of any artists, organisations or mandolin-whittling interest groups I've missed please let me know! go.bsky.app/D5A8kE4
