High quality, memorable entertainment
It’s been a while since the last blog post, but we’ve got some new posts lined up for the next few weeks that should make up for it!
First up, are some photographs from International Talk Like a Pirate Day back in September.
We had a great time outside Asda Llandudno, and it was brilliant to see so many people had made the effort to get dressed up in pirate costume for the event.
Ahoy there! Tomorrow it be Talk Like A Pirate Day! The day for shivering of timbers, pieces of eight, and walking the plank!
Captain Jay will be dropping anchor at Asda Llandudno from 11am to 5pm this Friday for some swashbuckling magic at the store entrance.
So be sure to mark your charts with an X and set sail for Asda Llandudno tomorrow!
One of the great things about being entertainers is all the fabulous events we get to attend. It’s always a great excuse to dress up in costume and really get into character.
This last weekend, we were at the Conwy Pirate Weekend, the third year of this annual event. Unfortunately it was very wet and overcast on Saturday, which meant that we were all very soggy pirates, but it was more than made up for by the brilliant sunshine on Sunday.
There were loads of events and activities over the weekend: barrel rolling and barrel carrying competitions, a real live mermaid, an 18th century pirate camp, a pirate ship attacking the quay which had to be fended off by cannon fire, and all kinds of stalls and stores.
The crowds were kept entertained by Harley the Clown, Roslyn Walker, Tom Mason & the Blue Buccaneers, as well as Clerical Error Morris Dancers, mermaid Toni Mishell and others. We told the magical tale of “Captain Gatling’s Journey of Wonder”, and Jay was also the voice of the event, giving announcements all day, and providing commentary on the events, and introducing the acts.
As always, Bernie the Bunnie came along with us, and this time, he decided that he wanted to dress up too. He met lots of new people, but some of the pirates were a bit fierce… although he did eventually get his revenge!
Huge thanks to everyone at HTC Entertainments and Events for all their hard work in making the event such a success.
Make sure to keep an eye on the Conwy Pirates website to get all the news about next year’s event, and be sure to like their Facebook page.
There’s more dates to be added to the list, so keep coming back to get the latest updates.
Happy new year! Here’s some information about some of the shows we’ve got lined up so far for 2014:
In addition to all the shows, we’re also working on a brand new act. With a new act, comes new props – and Bernie just had to take a look inside.
Hopefully, we’ll be showing you some sneak previews of elements from our new act over the next few months – but not too many as we want to keep it a surprise!
