While working on the Pirates of the Carribean films, director Gore
Verbinski and his star Johnny Depp became fascinated with the lore and
fable of the pirates and sailors who ran the high seas before the days
of upright tray-tables and airsick bags. Not too far behind was Hal
Willner, who quickly joined into the mix, dragging a very impressive
list of musicians to create what we now know as Rogue’s Gallery:
Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs and Chanteys.

What most people don’t know yet is that London, Dublin and Gateshead
will be the venues for these songs to be performed live for the first
time, as they will take us on a trip like no other, exploring the
hardships, the horrors, the lusts and lurid depths, and the crystal
beauty that led men to the sea in ships for hundreds of years. Artists
such as Lou Reed, Pete Doherty, Robyn Hitchcock and Tim Robbins, among
dozens of others, will help bring these tales to life. Complete line-
up after the break…
The dates:
July 18 - Analog Festival, Dublin
July 24 -The Sage, Gateshead
July 28 - Barbican, London
