Saturday at the festival consisted of scenes like this, the kids trying to stay dry waiting for the band to go on.

The festival was also the debut of the newest Bilge Pump, Splice the Rigger.

Then he promptly screws up his city rhyme on "Donkey Riding".

Fanny the Flagmaker pops up to get oohs and aahs from the crowd, showing off our booty.

Maroon the Shantyman's daughter sets up a diabolical machine in the front of the stage that could cause some serious damage to the pirate codpieces.

She then adds some actual rhythm to the show, helping out daddy.

Welcome to the band, Splice, now it's time for John Crow the Cook to get in your pants.

Course this is what happens when John Crow tries it with Sharkbait Simon the Scapegoat.

Sharkbait is forced to laugh at Maroon's verse on "Donkey Riding".... bringing the total number of people laughing at 1.

We're one pump short of a pack as Harvey the Corpsman ends up missing the festival with his trip to Ireland.

Ex Bilge Pump Gil Burton Sullivan the Cooper gets roped on to the stage for a little chorus line.

Time to send out the new guy to earn his keep. Get daddy some tips, boy! Hyah!

John Crow reacts to the ghost of Harvey the Corpsman appearing the back of the crowd and starting a speech about education and politics.

With their attempts to stump the pirates, these patrons are forced to dance with the band on "Sailor's Hornpipe".

Ah, the list of nasty jobs for the new guy continues as Splice has to prop up Maroon's dead body on "The Night Pat Murphy Died".

Anyone notice how totally unconcerned Maroon's daughter looks as daddy lies dead on stage?

It doesn't pay to be a tall pirate on this stage.

At the pub sing at the end of the day, the audience gets up to do a conga line during "Johnny Jump Up".
