Renowned and notorious: that's Ye Banished Privateers. This year, these rowdy pirates are bringing not one, but two shows to the Castlefest stages. Armed with fiddles, drums, banjos and accordions, they treat the audience to raucous tunes inspired by sea shanties, Scandinavian and Irish folk, all soaked in rock and punk.
But where do the Privateers get their stories from? What journeys have they undertaken? Come to the Academy on Thursday and quiz the pirates on everything you've always wanted to know. But beware: you may hear tales not fit for daylight… One thing is certain: this panel promises chaos and unforgettable memories.
