'Jolly Polly and the Pirates,' are a professional, 3-4-piece wedding and party band based in East Anglia, who play a great combination of music that is suitable for any occasion / event and venue. Our members come from musically diverse backgrounds and are seasoned performers, with over thirty years combined experience in the music industry. It is our aim to make the entertainment at your event pe

rsonal, and run seamlessly with your plans for the day. With multi-instrumentalists in the band, they create the sound of a much larger ensemble. Doubling up on keyboards, guitar, bass and drums (occasionally at the same time), as well as many vocals, a varied sound is created, while also being great fun, and exciting to watch. Having worked tirelessly to create a set of hits suited to the modern wedding/party they now have a fantastic repertoire that is constantly being updated. Performing up-to-date hits from punk to pop, rock to hip-hop (with a few oldies thrown in for good measure!), the music is guaranteed to get you dancing. The Pirates also strive to improve and update their gear with the latest tech, ensuring that not only does every performance sound professional, it looks the real deal as well. Finally, you can expect barrels of energy from a ‘Jolly Polly and the Pirates’ show. Neither too loud, nor too quiet, there will be plenty of opportunities to have a dance and sing-along, and a real sense of enjoyment from the band at every performance. The Pirates will seek to learn first dances and special song requests, can offer acoustic options and DJ, and will even handle announcements if required, making them a very popular choice among bands for weddings. You can tailor the service to whatever you want, nothing is too much trouble. So if you're looking to book a band who are experienced, professional, helpful and love what they do, then give us a shout! www.jollypollyandthepirates.com

😱PIRATE DOWN!!‼️ PSA ‼️

Peg legs we can manage, but broken fingers we can not…

Since our James lost a fight with a fire door yesterday, we have had to take the highly unusual decision to cancel our gig at the Prince Sudbury tomorrow as it was more important to us that we saw the pub confidently set up with a replacement rather than risk letting them down entirely if our deps couldn’t step in at such short notice…

So we won’t be there unfortunately and we’re really sorry to anyone who was looking forward to coming. You know it’s very unlike us!!

☹️

However, all is not lost for your night out as the amazing thesuffolkslappers will be graciously stepping in for us, and having hosted them on our festival line-ups before we KNOW they are fantastic and you’ll have a great night- so go along and show them how grateful you are for them stepping in!!!!

We’ll see you soon!!

RegARRds, your party piratey pals,

Polly, David and James (who is having a pretty crazy week by anyone’s standards 😅🦸‍♂️🩻)

🎄It took till DAY 24 to have to give an
‼️EXPLICIT LYRICS‼️ warning!! 😅

Yes our final song choice is “Fairytale of New York” and isn’t it just a corker?
Definitely better when played live though we think- I guess we’ll all have to wait for next year’s gigs for that now!! 😢

❓Anyway did you get it right?

Well, then I guess all that’s left to say now is THANKYOU to those of you who joined us on this ridiculous musical countdown and appreciated our mad efforts! We hope we made you smile more than once, maybe let us know which was your favourite video in the comments?
That’d be nice 😚

and James Morgan we can’t wait to be back playing real music with you! 😅😝

Merry Christmas Everyone!!! (Oh, wait what? No that’s the wrong one… 😝)

Love,
Polly, David and James

⚓️SHIPMATES!
It’s 🎄Day 23 and so the final question of our advent calendar… 😭

Frankly, we can’t believe we actually managed to get here, it’s been a surprising amount of work with lots of deadlines 😂 But hopefully you’ve found it vaguely amusing at least, or it won’t have been worthwhile 😅

So onto the final question and clue then!
Here it is:

🔍This song is not only performed by us pirates three, but also by Polly and David as their jangle-folk duo False Colours at every given Christmas opportunity. (A loyalty bonus clue for you there haha)

🔍It was a single released when our Jolly Polly was exactly 3 months old!

🔍It’s a duet that has never quite been a Christmas number one but has reached the UK Top 20 on twenty separate occasions since its original release, including every year at Christmas since 2005!!

🔍Everyone loves it, even (or even especially) with the updated lyrics!

We know we do!!!

Can you get it babe?

🧚‍♂️


22/12/2024

🎄Day 22 brings the answer to day 21’s question: what song will it be?

And it’s a song which we do actually play live as a band, rather than just singing and playing along to cheesy backing tracks, and a song which we hope our neighbours like (or don’t, depending on your take I guess… 🤭)

“Merry Christmas Everyone”

❔Did you get it right?
❓And more importantly, did you dance along in solidarity of the pre-Christmas chaos manic feeling?


🎄🎁🎅

🎄It’s day 21 and that means there are only two more chances for you to play along with our musical advent calendar!!

Todays clue to guess tomorrow’s song comes in the form of a story extract:

“As Steven walked through the snow on his way to the party, he was unsure which house it was but his fears were allayed as he approached the door -this was definitely the place as he could hear all the kids playing and having a good time. He knocked three times and the door opened only for him to IMMEDIATELY spot the mistletoe. It was there, just as he hoped it would be, since there was someone very special he hoped to find there (*like some sort of weird s*x pest.)
…And then there she was, he didn’t have to search at all!!
He walked up, shakin’ like a leaf, but then realised that all was not well. The big light was on. It was supposed to be candlelight!!! 😱😱”

Look we’re musicians (although you’d be forgiven for forgetting that with these videos I know) not writers.

👇Guesses in comments, curious as to how easy this is for you 😂


🤔

20/12/2024

🎄Day 20 features an off the cuff ad-lib from Rudolph, as apparently we have absolutely NO care for how entirely crazy people think we are now.
But hey, they say you attract your crowd right?
&Well you’re here aren’t you? 😝

It’s “I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day”

Did you guess it?

Not much more of this to put up with now! I don’t think we can handle the cringe 😂

🎄ARRRRR The clue for DAY 19 of our ever more unhinged musical advent calendar is here!!!

And today it’s a magical one… 😜
With the mention of bands playing, beard icicles, writing names on rooftops and kids singing..

Surely that’ll do so…

Okay you lot, take it!


18/12/2024

🎄Day 18 and yes, with only a week to go, we’re clearly running low on marbles!! 😅 (as if we weren’t anyway)

The answer for yesterday is of course:
“Rocking Around the Christmas Tree”

Enjoy… well… David playing along to a backing track and Polly apparently being bored of singing.

We miss James and real music okay? 😂

We’ve got a little break over Christmas until we bust out our guitars for New Year’s Eve and get back to rocking properly!!!! 🤘🏻🎸

17/12/2024

Welcome back to our musical countdown and 🎄DAY 17’s clues to help you name the Christmas song we’ll be bouncing along to tomorrow, and those clues are:

🎄Original vocals were recorded when the artist was only 13 years old!
🎄It had its 50th birthday in 2008.
🎄Not rolling but …

No idea if that’s too easy or too hard but whatchya gonna do?!! 😅


16/12/2024

Right. It’s day 16. 🎄 Come on. Last bit of stuff to do, we can do this…just put on some more Christmas headbands.

Now, we think the last clue was pretty obvious so please tell us you got it? Did you get it right or is your brain now just entirely scrambled?
ARR 🎻

(In case you couldn’t tell, it’s “Christmas Time (Don’t Let The Bells End)” although you may change up the last line as is popular…
