Pyrates of Portobello News - CD Release?

2010 - 2011

The Pyrates of Portobello will soon be heading into the studio for their first CD since forming the musical side of the performance troupe.

"We've had a lot of requests for a CD and though we tried to make it into the studio last year it we just didn't have the sound pulled together yet." said PoP founder Jim Jordan also known as "Captain Wycked Jack" when in character.

Since the famed 'guitar search' woes PoP has added vocalist Rosie Blum, and will also be joined by a host of local guest performers and musicians. "Our goal is not only to produce some great music but to have a lot of fun doing it!" said Michelle Jordan, PoP's Music Director. "These are our friends and fellow musicians and we'll have a blast doing this CD!"

PoP plans to have a mix of traditional Celtic and folk tunes in addition to original music by the group. The album has a tentative release date for the summer of 2011 with an official release party to be announced soon after. The CD will be available online through the PoP website and at their performances.
