Dorset based Celtic folk/punk band Black Water County are releasing their debut single 'The Pirate Song' on 19th September 2013 otherwise known as 'International Talk Like a Pirate Day'. This swashbuckling cracker is the first single from BWC and is lifted from their new 6 track E.P. launched recently at Mr Kyps in Poole. Since forming in February, Black Water County are setting the local music scene ablaze with their exciting foot stompin' live performances, featuring superb renditions of Irish classics and popular songs from bands such as the Pogues and Dropkick Murphys, as well as a smattering of skillfully crafted original tunes. This is the video to accompany 'The Pirate Song' .
Black Water County are a 5 piece band featuring the combined talents of:
Tim Harris (age 18) - lead vocals/bass guitar - reading Engineering at Portsmouth University
Shan Byrom (age 18) - lead and backing vocals/tin whistle/melodica - studying Fine Art at Bournemouth and Poole College

BWC takes it's name from Ireland's famous 'black water' i.e. Guinness/Murphys, which the band enjoys at every opportunity!
Shan and Brad's family provide the Irish connection, with Paddy, Brad's Dad a.k.a. The Shirt, assisting with graphic design (check out the flag on the Pirate Song artwork) as well as additional lyric ideas.
All original songs are collaborative writing efforts, with each member of the band contributing to the end result
The band's motto's of 'Folk Sh*t Up' and 'Love the band, hate the floor' are becoming well-known in East Dorset, encouraging audiences to stamp their feet and sing/dance along with the band
Each original tune on the EP tells a tale:
'The Pirate Song' is BWC's first release - to coincide with International Talk Like A Pirate Day and evolved from a whimsical riff created by Gavin, with lyric input from 'The Shirt'
'Folk Sh*t Up' (aka The Wo Wo Wo Song) is the band's version of stadium folk
'Steamin'' and 'Happy Drunk' were written to celebrate the band's roots in local pub culture
