Barrett’s Privateers return home with a night of rousing sea shanties, traditional folk, Cornish and mining songs.
Hailing from the beautiful Tamar Valley from Launceston to Cargreen, Barrett’s Privateers formed through the joy of acapella singing in the fantastic local pubs but are ready for their biggest Launceston gig yet!

They have toured widely with memorable performances at Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival, Rock Oyster Festival with Nile Rogers and Chic, the prestigious Canterbury Festival and even represented Cornwall at the Festival Interceltique de Lorient in Brittany along with seven other Celtic nations, performing each night to a stadium of up to 10,000 people.

Expect a high energy performance packed with powerful harmonies.

Barrett's Privateers

Hailing from the Cornish side of the beautiful Tamar Valley, Barrett’s Privateers are a group of friends who have been drawn together by their love of singing and a desire to maintain the tradition of singing in pubs. This mixed crew, with ages ranging from mid-20s to 60+, all share a love of sea-faring songs and shanties, traditional folk music and Cornish songs, and produce broad harmonies with a wonderful blend of male and female voices. Barrett’s Privateers bring power and harmony to their lively and hugely entertaining performances.
