Join us for an evening of protest songs from local and national musicians and songwriters to commemorate 100 years of campaigns since the 1926 General Strike. Covering events both historical and current through new versions of traditional songs and original protest songs, this performance celebrates the many ways we have used music to campaign for a better world.The evening's line up includes:
Nasty Fishmonger
Fist-raising hardcore folk from Bristol. Nasty Fishmonger play anti-austerity anthems with a camaraderie and charm that is hard to resist. Formed in 2018, they have since become firm festival favourites after blistering sets at Boomtown, Shambala, Bearded Theory and more.
The Swing Rioters
A riotously energetic Cotswold-based folk-punk band that "punks up" traditional folk songs and "folks up" more modern tunes. The group is named after a series of rural disturbances in England in 1830 in response to the threat of mechanisation on the livelihoods agricultural workers.
...and many more to be added!
Pop-up bar and refreshments available. This event takes place at St Nicholas' Church on Westgate Street. GL1 2PG (directly opposite The Folk of Gloucester).
Tickets £15.00/£12.00
