Since March, Your Local Pirates were more or less locked up in their homes by the forces of the Empire of Corona. The two pirates sat in their own bulwark, Joke on the Island in the North, Peter on the Island in the South. But the grip of the Coprona Empire is weakening. The pirate ship is being prepared to take to the seas for hit and run actions outside. Swords are being sharpened, Pistols loaded.

To put it differently: You Local Pirates will be back on tour! We are establishing contacts with a number of ports thah we hope to honor with a visit. We are also open again for invitations that may lead to such visits. We can hardly wait to play for an audience once more! Of course, we will bring our CD “A Fair Warning’ with us as well. But most of all, we have a whole load of new material that we would love to present.

We want to do this with the utmost care. Keeping necessary distance between each other, no packed rooms full of people way too close physically to one another. We don not want our concerts to turn into hotspots of infection. That is a matter of safety, our own but also that of visitors, personnel/volunteers and of others that can furthermore be infected. For us, that safety is not a matter of legal obligations and laws; it is a matter of care and solidarity. These remain necessary, even now the virus has been partially pushed back.

So, if you have access to a place where you would like to see us perform, and you take serously what has been said in the preceding paragraph, don’ t wait for us but feel free to get in touch! In the meantime, we have moved into action as well. A first concert has already been confirmed: Saturday, 1 August, Your Local Pirates will play in Innocent, in Hengelo! Keen an eye on messages in a bottle that will soon land on the beach of this website. Here already is the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/2682358525343936/

Ah, and by the way: soon we will send out more messages in bottles: our Newsletter will appear again shortly. If you don’t want to depend on facebook, Todon and website for our pirate updates, sign up for this newsletter. You’ll find out how if you click the ‘Nieuwsbrief ontvangen? Dat kan!’ button. The newsletter is bilingual: English and Dutch.

Hope to be seeing and hearing each other soon!
