Meet the Privateers
The Privateers are Aubrey Moore, Brian Deo and Paul Trattle. The trio have been playing music together for over twenty-five years and draw their inspiration from an eclectic mix of artists from 50's doo-wop to current popular music, all with an acoustic sound and steeped in harmony. The group's name, The Privateers, was borrowed from one of the songs they sing, Barrett's Privateers (made famous by Stan Rogers). As a Privateer by definition is one who takes plunder and riches from others for their own, it seemed a fitting name for a band that plays other artists' music.
