Tanya, Purser
Tanya Hyde, aka Mrs. Scabby, has been hitching a ride with the Brigands up and down the East Coast since ‘ole Scabby joined the crew in 2019. Tanya is a Mistress of many trades, from slinging merch and CDs, lugging equipment, coordinating logistics, and even filling in as one of the “Cannonettes” when our very own Butch Cannon was on shore leave for a bit. Better watch out, though…step outta line and she’ll “tan yer hide!”

Delwyn Rustleaves, Purser
Delwyn ( and she has so many names we shall only list a few) Rustisleaves, Aimstoplease, Chubbyknees, etc, was Purser for our 2009 Season and signed up for the Northern 2010 cruise. Del will at our ports of call North of Mason-Dixon Line. Delwyn not only sells our CDs and merchandise, but looks after the Crew, making sure we eat and have plenty to drink during the long watches.
Malinda Malarkey
Malinda was Purser for the Hellion during the 2008 cruise and did a right seamans job of it, too. Never was there one to wring out every farthing to be had and make the patron enjoy the giving. Now sailing the seas with a different ship, she has left her mark on The Brigands ( in more ways then one) and we on her.
Caribbean Pearl
The Pearl has acted as Purser for The Brigands in Florida for two years now, and we figured it be high time she was recognized, but then she is very recognizable!
Misty Blaze
Welcome Misty Blaze, who started this year ( 2010) as a Purser-de Jour (Purser of the Day) at the Fell’s Point Privateer Day, and has signed on as our Maryland Purser. She will be at our ports of call in Maryland. Misty also performs with some close friends of ours,The Drunken Ferrets ( Pirates for Sail), and both groups will be down in Rockhall MD later this year.
Katie Cuttlefish (Cuddlefish)
Purser De Jour for Virginia. Katie has signed on with The Brigands as a Virginia Purser, and will be with us at our Virginia performances. Also a member of the Moody Crew, their Captain has graciously lent her to us, all temporarily like. And, we may just give her back, some day!
The Wench, aka Kristina Deguy
The Wench is also a Virginia Purser De Jour. She is one of the first fans of The Brigands, lo these 10 years and more, and she does a right fine job. Buy a CD from her at the Hampton Blackbeard Festival, and you get a free kiss with each CD!
