On the ninth day of Christmas my true love sent to me…”
Never mind the Pollocks - it’s Stickleback, the nine piece percussion drum ensemble (plus Snowman on Bass drum) on a #FestiveFishyFriday for the #TwelveDaysOfChristmas🥁

#BoxingDay is a #FestiveFishyFriday and the Singing Sprats are having a crate time together. They sing “On the Second Day of Christmas…” in a sea shanty style, having to make do with Two Purple Gloves after a pre-Christmas delivery mix up.
“Merry Fishmas everybody!”
#TwelveDaysOfChristmas 🎄⛄️🐟

#Advent 19 is a #FestiveFishyFriday and the Singing Sprats are joined by chips & mushy peas for a rousing rendition of “Hake the Herald Angel’s Ling”.

Perfect Catch chocolate sardines

Put your #FestiveFishyFriday on hold - looks like the chocolate sardines have sold out already!

The Singing Sprats are joined this #FestiveFishyFriday by El-Fish Espadin Pescado.
“What style do they sing?” asks CT Bear.
“Acapaella” says Snowman.
#MerryFishmas⛄️🐟

#Advent 12 is a #FestiveFishyFriday. When the chips are down, every gig sells out as the Sprats always manage to fillet with their close knit harmony singing. 🐟🛶

It's a #FestiveFishyFriday and fisherman's friends The Singing Sprats are performing a three-part harmony fish pie mash-up of 'The Wellerman' and 'Good King Wenceslas'. CT Bear has glazed over. "I've gone all stargazey” he says. "Soon may the Wenceslas come To bring us pine logs hither and rum"

It is certainly in their repertoire - last performed on a #FestiveFishyFriday on Twitter in 2022. 🐟

#Advent day five is the first #FestiveFishyFriday of the season. The codfearing Cornish Sprats sea shanty style singing warms the cockles of even CT Bear’s heart. 🎄

Not to be outdone, the Cornish Singing Sprats join in for what is both the first #FestiveFishyFriday of the new year and also the final festive fishy Friday as the #TwelveDaysOfFishmas have nearly finished.

The third day of Christmas is a #FestiveFishyFriday “Three Tench Tins” sing the Cornish Sprats.

Although not strictly a #FestiveFishyFriday, the night before Christmas means the Sprats are out for a chocolate ice lolly. #FeastOfTheSevenFishes

Advent 20 is a #FestiveFishyFriday! The Cornish Sprats sing a “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” with a fishy sea shanty twist in the folk style of Tiddler’s Dram. 🐟🎄 #CTBear

It’s #FestiveFishyFriday the firteenth - perfect! 🐟🎄

For #Advent 13 the Singing Sprats get their #FestiveFishyFriday moment to shine. “It’s Fishmas time, there’s no time to be a-fried” they sing with a close knit harmony sea shanty slant on the latest remix of a festive fundraiser. “It’s a good cause” says #CTBear, “even if the delivery seems fishy.”🐟

The Singing Sprats are thrilled - they missed out last #FestiveFishyFriday due to the feast of St Nicholas, so are making up for it to today with their close-knit harmony sea shanty spin on ‘I saw Three Ships Come Sailing By’ 🐻🎄🐟 #CTBear
