Their first act was to record the EP Heavens To Betsy as promotional material to send to ceilidh clubs and festivals.

In order to fill space on the EP four songs that has been loosely arranged beforehand by Paul, Martin, Tim and Yom were added.

[9] Shortly after the release of Tomorrow We'll Be Sober, Paul Young left the band and was replaced by Stuart Giddens.

On 7 November 2012, Blackbeard's Tea Party posted a photo of Yom's Cajon in a recording studio on their Facebook page.

[10] Initial response to the album has been positive, with the song "The Valiant Turpin" receiving airplay on numerous BBC Radio Shows[11][12] as well as Mike Harding's podcast.

They continued to tour the album throughout 2013 and the early part of 2014, before embarking on their biggest run of festivals to date, with 20 performances over the summer.

After touring the Reprobates album throughout 2015 and 2016, Blackbeard's Tea Party significantly beefed up their sound by introducing two full drum-kits (as opposed to hand-percussion) for the first time.

[15] Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic the band collaborated virtually, writing new material which would eventually become the album Kick the Curb, released on 30 September 2022.
