Stand Up Now!! A 17th century protest anthem, though it's themes are still relevant today. For us it symbolises the band reaching a crossroad and fighting to move forward despite adversity.

Oh, did we mention we have a new singer????
Meet Amy Kakoura, our new pirate queen 🏴‍☠️👸

Whip Jamboree! A traditional sea shanty featuring our new Pirate Queen. We first recorded this for our 'Whip Jamboree' album back in 2012 and it's remained a firm favourite ever since.
