The Bilge Pumps - Past Landings: Dickens on the Strand 2019

Galveston, TX December 6 - 8, 2019

The 46th year of Dickens on the Strand saw an upheaval in the acts that perform at the festival and a shrinking of the festival area. With Mechanic Street no longer part of the festival, the number of stages shrunk, and therefore, the number of performers. Luckily, us Bilge Pumps made the cut. Due to the lack of stage areas, us entertainers did shows on stage and in the street to make sure everyone had something fun to see. We also shot portions of our latest Christmas music video, It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas.

It's Friday Night, time for Fezziwig's Beer Tent! That means all the cheap drunks come out. Our target audience.	Jack the Rum Runner gets his fingers loosened up before our first show of the festival, proper.	The people at the Windor Castle Stage can't help but get more piracy in their lives.
For Saturday night, the stage moved to the street corner. Good to know the male prostitutes have returned to the Strand.	In retrospect, it might not have been such a good idea to put the pirate band right in front of the kids Playland.	Our own Natty Nell becomes the Living Christmas Tree on the streets.

The band finished up the weekend by performing on the main stage, right before the trash trucks came and hauled them away.
