Traditional Hits
These songs come into the firm favourites category, back to a time when music was part of the culture and national spirit, celebrated with a pub session. Songs with traces of a traditional sea shanty, that sounds like it's being sung like pirates or sailors, great tunes for International Talk Like a Pirate Day which in 2020 is Saturday, September 19th. "Ahoy, maties!". Arguably the most famous sailor song in history, “Drunken Sailor” is a must at any pirate party and Tuesday Night at the Wight Bear, especially late in the evening. It's a traditional song that has been recorded innumerable times. “Irish Rover” is a traditional song that has been recorded by any number of artists over the years and can be heard at pretty much any Ren Faire on any given weekend.
