On a mighty full ship we did sail and with a foggy night the band did hail, Alestorm – they came, they took some wenches and drank some mighty fine mead.
A powerful folk Scottish pirate (ooh I love that word) band was cast upon us with their heads a banging and the keytar tinkling and the punters singing onto every word. I’m not sure how ‘metal’ a keytar is, but it gave Alestorm that piratey feel to their music, and we swayed like being on a torturous ship through a thunderstorm.
With songs such as Black Sails At Midnight, Wenches and Mead (a favourite), Keelhauled and Over The Seas I felt like I was smuggled into a pirate party when only a selected few were given the privilege to view.
Punters dressed in their finest pirate outfits along with swashbuckling swords swishing above the mosh pit, it certainly was one of a show. The main dress code of the night was black and more black, but are we surprised.
