Folk • Rock • Harmony

A high-energy folk-rock show with big harmonies and bigger crowd connection.

Modern takes on traditional spirit, delivered with humour, stories, and a proper singalong finish.

About

The Privateers are a UK folk-rock harmony act built for live audiences.

Expect big three-part vocals, driving rhythm, and storytelling that turns a room of strangers into a chorus. Featuring Isle of Wight favourites Nik Potts (Lucid) and Paul Ruck (Cream of Clapton), alongside David Julien (BBC The Voice UK, West End, Strictly Come Dancing).

Lush harmonies, skilled instrumentation, and a modern spin on traditional folk. Light-hearted, laughter-filled, and designed to leave the crowd wanting “one more”.
