Sea Shanties and Songs of the
Sea
with Vintage Jokes and Salty Repartee
The “Buc’s”
are a rollicking musical crew of pirates, who love to recreate the
romance and myth of the "golden age of piracy", (but never the
grim reality). Most are refugees
of the Columbia Street Irish Seisiun, so be assured that the tunes are
lively and the songs raucous.
Created as a specialty act for Harbor Days 2000, the "Bucs" have added new talent, props, and schtick to become an exciting and welcome presence at festivals and nautical events
throughout the Northwest.
The BUDD BAY
BUCCANEERS, as a group of 6 to 8 pirates, can perform concerts of 1 or 2
- 45 min sets, they can act as wandering minstrels, and they can lead
groups of people in shanty singing.
Their penchant for nautical (and sometimes naughty if the
children are in bed) nonsense belies their knowledge of all things
maritime, and they can give authoritative workshops on life at sea and
the historical use of shanties aboard ship.
From
a few to a crew, the Bucs can be commandeered at cutthroat rates for
your special event, be it festival, fair, picnic, party, wedding, or
promotion. On stage or
strolling among your guests this roguish lot will ensure swashbuckling
good fun.

Ahoy!
This be the Banshee
the
Budd Bay Buccaneers’ “pirate ship”
‘Tis a portable stage, wit’ sound system, whot can be used where
e’er it can be towed. It
has a couple o’ cannons (the one loud carbide, t’other fires a sign
whot says “KABOOM”), a treasure chest full o’ booty, a skeletal
helmsman (Billy Bones), an’ a crew of musical pirates (the Budd Bay
Buccaneers).
