A Blackbeard's tea party tea bag.

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

This is going to be like Brexit all over again isn’t it? #Eastenders

Accidentally put cumin in my porridge this morning instead of cinnamon.

Thank you! I wonder where they are now.

Oooh thanks! Super sleuth.

All stone cold bangers. But I’ve always wondered who is singing them. And some of the songs are pretty obscure, but no info about where they came from.

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.

Thank you. It was a pure joy to play.

Wow. What an image! I love that.

Nah, pretty standard everyday stuff for me 🎅🏼

I’m DMing you something that’s NSFW… 🎅🏼

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!

Oh yey! Really glad you’re coming. I’ll stand ye a whiskey when you get here. Or something.

Tell me you’re a 🚬 without telling me you’re a 🚬

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.”

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.

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.

There aren’t any bigger dogs. Dave’s massive. Our neighbour says, “Best legs in Bramley” whenever he sees our dog.

Oh yeah, it was probably the cat…….. HANG ON A SECOND, we don’t have a cat!!??!

She’s everything I want to be when I grow up.

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.

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

He really has ‘the eye’, I feel.

Absolutely loving this tour. Otley Courthouse last night was packed out and a great atmosphere. Tonight it’s The Musician in #Leicester! Doors 8pm #folkrock #folkpunk

A very mopey black greyhound lying on its bed surrounded by the debris of a gift bag that once contained chocolate coins but has now been ripped apart.

I wonder who made this mess

My 4yo wanted to take a photo of me…

The fun you can have on stage with a GoPro…

Had a little break from touring on Saturday to play a ceilidh at the very grand Victoria Hall in Saltaire. Huge congrats to Becky & Victor on their wedding day x
