The Bilge Pumps descend on the London Wharf stage next to the tall ship Elissa to a packed house.

Before the show can begin, though, Harvey the Corpsman must regale everyone with the story "A Pirate's Night Before Christmas".

And you can tell who the band blames for all the goings on... John Crow the Cook.

Splice the Rigger fires off suggestions to Maroon the Shantyman as he makes up the set list for the night show

He promptly ignores all the songs and goes into an extended sound check.

John Crow acts out Maroon the Shantyman's childhood during "Itches In Me Britches". Apparently, it was a drunk childhood.

The Bilge Pumps follow along behind the Walking Christmas Tree during the street parade... picking tinsel out of their teeth

Maroon and the super tall elf Natty build up brownie points with Santa right before Christmas

Don't know what's worse for your health... the Bilge Pumps or the oil rigs.

The whole family takes a break right before the parade starts, John Crow, Fanny, Tempest, and the Natty-tree

Don't even ask me what's going on here
