The latest stars to arrive on stage at the National Forest Folk Club will be giving songs and tunes a heavy rock edge.
Blackbeard's Tea Party is set to rock the Moira club this weekend with their own brand of gutsy rock.
The past few years have seen Blackbeard’s Tea Party play at festivals as diverse as Glastonbury, Cambridge Folk Festival, Fariport's Cropredy Convention, The Rainforest World Music Festival in Borneo and many more.
Their most recent album Reprobates has been met with high praise in the folk press, earning a five-star review in R2 Magazine while fRoots named it "convincing and essential".
With this growing reputation, it's hardly a surprise that they are one of the most in-demand bands on the folk circuit.
Traditional songs and tunes will be given a heavy rock edge with playful arrangements and driving dance rhythms. This is all mixed up in an engaging, high-octane stage show that frequently leaves audiences cheering for more.
The event will be held at 8.30pm on Friday, June 8, at Moira Miners’ Welfare, in Bath Yard, Moira.
Tickets cost £10 and are available by visiting www.nationalforestfolk.com or www.seetickets.com
The club has also announced its acts to the end of the year.
This will include Pons Aelius on Thursday, July 5; Kieran Halpin on Friday, September 14; Brian Willoughby and Cathryn Craig on Friday, October 12; Tim Edey on Friday, November 9; and Lady Maisery on Friday, December 14.
