Buccaneer Boogie

Pirates who couldn't sword fight, so they took up music instead. That's the story behind Buccaneer Boogie, a Melbourne crew who mix songs with magic, circus skills and a bit of pirate charm. Kids and grown-ups both get drawn in, because the act is energetic and built around audience interaction. The usual crew is five, though smaller line-ups are possible. They can do a feature show on a stage or rove through a crowd, which makes them handy at festivals, product launches and corporate functions. A nautical theme night is the obvious match.
