Folk · Rock · Harmony
Soaring three-part harmonies, driving folk-rock and the kind of crowd connection that turns a room full of strangers into one enormous chorus.
Three voices · One enormous sound
Built for live audiences
The Privateers are a UK folk-rock harmony act combining outstanding live musicianship, powerful three-part vocals and a modern edge rooted in traditional folk spirit.
Expect driving rhythms, stories, humour and enormous singalong moments. It is a show built around the audience—light-hearted, energetic and designed to leave the whole room wanting one more.
“Lush harmonies, skilled instrumentation and a modern spin on traditional folk.”
