The Heartless Rogues might be the queerest pirate band in the UK and now we have a line of pride merch to prove it! Look at our glossy new shirts. www.frankieheartless.com/store/p/prid...

I appear to be ranting today. It is so irritating when promoters or producers book you for their festivals and then refuse to announce you. What are you scared of?

An observation from a fairly face blind person. It is always the people I have met once face to face and spoken to for under 5 minutes who get offended by me not remembering what they look like.

I got to see another pretty ship yesterday, but on Wednesday I’ll be back on the Golden Hinde for another sold out show!

Fabulous musicians who encourage you to dress like a pirate. What's not to love?

The Heartless Rogues has grown so fast that our next Golden Hinde show is about to sell out with two weeks to go. If you want to see us play in London, join us on Sunday May 17th at The Amersham Arms! www.outsavvy.com/event/27463/...

I just agreed to trade my Power Rangers SPD morpher and badges for a sword lesson and dear god I love being a nerd.

The Heartless Rogues will be playing our first gig of the year on Sunday, at Aces and Eights in Tufnell Park, London. Join us for a stomping good time. events.liveit.io/folk-and-roo...

I worried that I’d put all our shanty gigs too close together and we wouldn’t be able to sell tickets. Instead, tonight’s Golden Hinde gig is sold out and the other three shows have had good sales. I think we’re selling well because we encourage people to sing, dance and dress up. Community is key.

It’s nice being remembered fondly. I still get asked if I’m going to Dragoncon, when I haven’t been since 2013. I hope everyone going this year has a wonderful time!

The Honor Oak Shanty Choir is still running tonight! What a way to end this gloriously sunny bank holiday. Follow the link below for tickets or more information.

Earlybird tickets for our Amersham Arms gigs on Sept 3rd go off sale on Friday. Please buy tickets for this one. It’s our one accessible London venue and it’s not selling as well as our other shows. Come along for pirate shanty band fun! www.outsavvy.com/event/27463/...

I’m deep in my personal thoughts and grief this morning. A very dear American friend of mine died last year and I didn’t go over to be with the family because I had no money and didn’t want them to know that. I regret not going. With the political climate, It may be years before I’m in the US again.

Hi Bluesky! I’m terrible at updating here. We have more upcoming shows- if you fancy seeing a pirate band and dancing and singing along, here’s the next two gigs. 28th Aug- Green Note, Camden events.liveit.io/folk-and-roo... 3rd Sep- Amersham www.outsavvy.com/event/27463/...

Here’s a picture of me as a bumblebee hosting the costume competition at Fantasy Forest. I am almost definitely laughing at my own joke here.

I had a wonderful time at Fantasy Forest debuting my new cavalier bumblebee look and co-hosting the costume competition with Alice Strange. I’ll share my new favourite feedback- “I have to tell you, you have an amazing voice, but a terrible sense of humour.” l

Folks, I will be at Fantasy Forest this weekend, co-hosting the costume contest with the wonderful Alice Strange. Come and say hi if you see me. I’ll be dressed as a bumblebee so I’ll be hard to miss.

By complete coincidence and in two different job roles, I am working closely with two of my favourite artists over the next two weeks. I can’t yet say more, but I am freaking out and will revisit this when I am allowed to.

My flatmate came home upset, so I gave her chocolate and a sword and she’s now gleefully happy. I don’t think I’m getting the sword back any time though.

We had the best time at our debut gig. Thanks to everyone who came to watch Frankie Heartless & The Heartless Rogues on our maiden voyage!

Introducing Frankie Heartless & The Heartless Rogues! I have a lot of fun playing with these guys. You can join in the folky pirate fun at our first gig on June 4th in New Cross. www.outsavvy.com/event/27463/...

Genuine question. Why isn’t the patron saint of England St Edmund? The official denomination of Christianity is CoE and he died a martyr of it. Surely this makes more sense than old St Giorgios?

Living in the part of town you grew up in is wild. I’ve been coming to this cafe since before this waitress was born.

Brighton folks! See you tonight for shanties, jigs and pirate fun. I’m very proud to be one of the opening shows for @onceandfuturefest.bsky.social sweetvenues.com/whats-on/the...

Once&Future 2025: Fri 18-Apr @ 19:30 For one night only, Frankie Heartless brings us sea shanty and folk favourites! Frankie also performs on board the Golden Hinde, at steampunk events, and recently made their international debut at Helsinki Drag Fest. Tickets: sweetvenues.com/whats-on/the...

I want to keep looking at cool sea shanty venues instead of focusing on my day job*! I’ve had some fab chats with various venues today and I want to keep going and booking gigs! Fancy some lively musical pirates? get in touch. *I actually love my day job.

Next Shanty gig is in Brighton on April 18th as part of @onceandfuturefest.bsky.social join us for pirate merriment! sweetvenues.com/whats-on/the...

I really love, miss and worry for my American friends. I had hoped to hang out with a bunch of you later this year, but it’s not safe for me to visit as a queer Latine. May we meet again in better times.

I couldn’t have asked for a better international drag debut than Helsinki Drag Fest. It was amazing meeting so many artists from different countries, including this Spanish/Newcastle riot. ❤️

I now see why you all hate Ryanair so much. I waited over an hour to check in, then got charged a late check in fee even though I was stood metres away in the queue. Then they charged me extra for having the violin. So that’s my show fee gone.

I am finding joy in finally writing out all the sea shanties I’ve learnt and notating them the way I like them. Maybe I’ll publish them once I’ve put them all together.

I’m having fun writing out arrangements of sea shanties for the Honor Oak Shanty Choir! We still have spaces for this Monday, check out the link below if you fancy coming along. www.outsavvy.com/event/25791/...

It is 2:30am before a gig day, so of course I can’t sleep because I must know- “The English Civil War” refers to the conflict in the 17th century, but why isn’t it called the second English civil war if the conflict between Stephen and Matilda is also classed as an English civil war?

Rosa Lennox and I are back on the Golden Hinde tomorrow for a piratical evening of sea shanties, jigs, classic folk tunes and more! Tickets available here- www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/frankie-he...

The first Honor Oak Shanty Choir session was a total success and we had a lot of fun and laughs! For anyone wanting to join, the next session will be on March 24th www.outsavvy.com/event/25791/...

We still have spaces available for anyone wanting to join London’s brand new Shanty Choir, starting on Monday! Please share with anyone who may be interested.

In other news, The Honor Oak Shanty Choir starts next Monday! The main goal is to bring a community together with the power of sea shanties. Follow the link below for more information on how to join us and support us. www.outsavvy.com/event/25791/...

I am now on spotify! Listen to Siren Song here, co-written and produced by @stevenhorry.bsky.social open.spotify.com/track/2tBYUS...

I’m very excited that my debut single Siren Song will be out on Saturday! You can pre-save it here. distrokid.com/hyperfollow/...

Pet peeve- other neurodiverse people projecting their traits onto you and assuming you must be the same. I am not stressed and late because “hahaha adhd, got distracted”, I am fixating on the costume I have to finish by next week around a job. And no, I didn’t remember to eat.

Community is everything. I’ve been struggling with my blood sugar diving while I sleep and someone in my diabetic group immediately knew what the issue was. My non diabetic doctor did not. Community is everything.

A lot of you like to come after people who don’t post about protests and political events on their social media. Please consider this.

Recommendations please! I’ve produced and co-written a song with my friend @frankieheartless.bsky.social that we’re really proud of and they’re looking to get it out to reviewers etc. Where is good nowadays for new artists? Big widescreen / operatic / electronic protest song vibes.

London based lovers of sea shanties and folk songs! I’m pleased to announce that from March, I will be starting the all new Honor Oak Shanty Choir. Email me if you’re interested- [email protected]

I got a sudden influx of drag followers, so here’s my signature number for those who don’t know me yet- say hi, tell me about your drag!

If I had a nickel for every time I saw a drag artist masquerade as working class, only to reveal an upper class upbringing when behind closed doors, I’d only have two nickels, but it’s weird it’s happened twice.
