Tom, an' watch the fantastic video, at www.yarr.org.uk/single - an' ye can
pre-order a copy right now at www.indiestore.com/pirate !

Every doubloon we be makin' be goin' straight t'Marie Curie! An' if ye can't
be buyin' it, then tell yer friends, blog about it, share it on yer social
sites, post on yer forums, or call up yer local radio station and tell 'em

things up fer grabs an' all!
PIRATE PARTIES: Are ye thinkin' o' carousin' round yer local inn, hostin' a
pirate party, or dressin' up in full regalia an' paintin' the town red? Be
sendin' me an email at capntom@yarr.org.uk , an' I be tellin' the world
about it! Already me calendar at www.yarr.org.uk/events be fillin' up. There
be wondrous things happenin' in Spalding, Goole, Leamington Spa, St Ives,
an' two great, grand parties in London.
A PLEA FROM TH' CAP'N
Arr, Marie Curie be... actually, for the first time ever, I'm going to drop
out of the pirate voice for a minute here. This is important. Marie Curie
Cancer Care provides high quality nursing, totally free, to give terminally
ill people the choice of dying at home supported by their families. They're
a fantastic charity. Every penny we get from sales of the single will go to
them. Plus, not only will buying a copy of the single do good, but it might
mean that all the terrible manufactured pop that's in the charts right now
will get beaten by two pirates with a guitar. And that, me hearties, would
be awesome.
www.yarr.org.uk/single be the address, an' ye can pre-order at
www.indiestore.com/pirate . Please do. It be only 79p. If ye can't - or even
if ye can - tell yer friends, blog 'bout it, or tell media folks. We truly
be hopin' t'storm th'charts on September 19th!
Fair winds' t' ye all, an' may th' tide always be in yer favour!
