Pyrates! are proud to unveil our inaugural live album; ‘Five Years at Sea’ featuring an extraordinary concert recorded at Triskell Celtic Festival during our European summer tours.

We wanted to celebrate this award-winning lineup of Pyrates! with an album that showcases our unique blend of shanty, and maritime folk rock. All while capturing the raw energy and enthusiasm that has defined our live shows over the past half decade.

Laden with band and fan favourites from this live era, ‘Five Years at Sea’ draws a line under the impressive track record of this quartet as we unleash a set of lively sea shanties, driving folk-rock melodies, and rousing traditional tunes upon the ecstatic audience

Pyrates! will see you on tour in 2024, and leave you wanting an encore, for we are no longer four, but a quintet once more.
