"The Bilge Pumps once again gave an outstanding performance at the 35th annual Dickens on The Strand Festival in Galveston, Texas. They entertain young and old and in-between. Everyone who sees their show comes away with a big smile. The Bilge Pumps are one of the favorite acts at Dickens and everyone wants to know if they will be coming back again each year. Even though I am very busy during the weekend of Dickens I always make sure I get to stop by and see at least one of their shows and always have a great time watching them perform and interact with the audience. "
- Peggy Clark - Event Coordinator - Dickens on The Strand Sponsored by the Galveston Historical Foundation

"Anyone calling themselves The Bilge Pumps must have a sense of humor, and judging by their "Greatest Hits Vol. VIII", this is a merry six-some of pirates. Popular at festivals as well as on CD, they are loud and rollicking as they bring chanteys to life."
- Chris Caswell - November 2002 issue of Sailing Magazine

"We wanted unique entertainment for our dinner cruise in San Diego. And that's just what we got. We were 'taken over' by pirates! It was a fun night full of entertainment. The Bilge Pumps are a friendly, entertaining group, flexible to work with, and they clearly enjoy what they do. If you are looking for different entertainment for your event you have found it. Thank you Bilge Pumps!"
- Kerrie Phelan, Sales & Event Planner - Deeley Harley-Davidson Canada

"These guys really set the Festival's tone! Their energy and undeniable spirit spread throughout the ship. Feedback from the crowds was incredibly positive and consistent all day. Even better, though, was that every time they performed they received not only rapt attention from those on board, but the folks walking the Embarcadero stopped in their tracks!"
- Chuck Bernstein, Entertainment Coordinator - San Diego Sea Chantey Festival on Star of India

"This high energy group of musicians added a unique dimension to the Medieval Fair. Everyone, including other performers, enjoyed their music and antics. They are fun, professional and talented!"
- Linda Linn, Coordinator, OU Medieval Faire

"These guys are lots of fun and real professionals to boot. We had bad weather and some last-minute schedule changes at our festival this year. The Bilge Pumps just wanted to know when and where they were needed and rearranged to suite our needs at the last minute. They had a great time and drew in their audience with their infectious, swashbuckling songs and antics.
Before and after their on-stage performances they were available for photos. When they weren’t performing on stage they were roving the festival grounds in full pirate regalia, delighting festival-goers with their frolics and in-character conversations. We will certainly invite The Bilge Pumps next year and recommend them highly."
- Tina Brady, Music Fest Market Coordinator - The Seabrook Music Festival

"Although I may deny this in public: The Bilge Pumps are truly first class, top notch, and captivating entertainment. I have never seen a more flexible dedicated or entertaining musical act. If your not inspired to clap or sing along with the Bilge Pumps, CHECK YOUR HEARING or YOUR PULSE!
- Alvon Brumfield, Entertainment Director and Festival Producer - Louisiana Renaissance Festival

"The Bilge Pumps are an outstanding troupe. They are fantastic entertainers who consistently drew patrons and other performers to their show. They were willing to adapt to the stage and the rainy conditions. These guys are professionals in ability and most importantly in attitude. I look forward to their returning to the King Arthur Faire."
- David Timmons, Director - King Arthur Faire

"How do you get pirates to raid at a land locked faire? Simple, you call the bilge pumps! Those ship rats aren't afraid of a little travel time or a little heat or a little stormy weather. They perform under be best and worst of conditions. Big crowds and small, they are some of the finest performers ever to pillage a village. The kids are still singing sea ditties six months later."
- Robin Hood, Organizer, Tablerock Fantasy Faire

"The measure of success for any act is, 'Can they hold an audience?' With The Bilge Pumps, the answer is an unqualified 'Yes'!"
- David Ruffin, Entertainment Director - Hawkwood Medieval Fantasy Faire

"One helluva fun show!"
- James Echols, Founder - UnCommonCon

"Argh! Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum
6 cool guys who are full of fun.
Longer than a yardarm, lacking not in charm
Missing their show would do you harm."
- Jo Meredith, Owner, The Pig & Whistle Pub

"The Castle of Muskogee had the rare privilege to have The Bilge Pumps for the 2000 Oklahoma Renaissance Faire in Muskogee, OK this past May. For three consecutive weekends these pirates of pizzazz played to the crowds, both young and old.
Their on-stage camaraderie was so very exciting to watch, along with their outstanding street performance.
They're an asset to any stage and any age."
- Karen S. Cunningham, Coordinator, Oklahoma Renaissance Faire at the Castle of Muskogee
