Radical Folkmongers - Robb Johnson Trio + Dryadic + Bats Feet

About

A night of radical folk mongering at Brightons finest folk-roots club

Robb Johnson Trio
Robbs widely recognised as one of the UKs finest songwriters. Notorious for his prolific, poetic, sensitive and politically charged works,
he enjoys playing pubs, clubs, the occasional festival, art centres, benefits & picket lines. Before Brexit he toured regularly in Europe, & he has also visited the USA a couple of times. Tonight he graces us with the full sounding trio!

An English original, (Robin Denselow, the Guardian)
a national treasure (Mike Harding)
one of this countrys most important songwriters (no argument!) (fROOTS).
one of the best songwriters this country has produced in many a year the appellation National Treasure is often over-used, but in Robbs case it is entirely appropriate" (St Ediths Folk)

DRYADIC

Queer alt-folk agitators Dryadic have built a reputation as one of the UKs most compelling contemporary folk-roots bands, known for their rousing live shows, unapologetically feminist songwriting, and rich, string-led arrangements. Dryadics live shows are a feast for the senses, blending stomping protest songs and travelling folk tales with dreamy, epic ballads. With raw energy, candid lyrics, and infectious singalong hooks. Their new album Permission To Speak, is a powerful collection of their most personal and confident work yet. Building their run of critically acclaimed singles, it boldly stands for resistance, community, love & authenticity.

"Permission To Speak" gives indie folk, experimental pop, and socially
aware songwriting fans a new, emotionally smart point of view and a
deeply human soundtrack to your own life. - Earmilk

and utterly unforgettable. - Lock Magazine
