A CULT hero of the folk scene is preparing to perform in Reading as part of a new national tour.
Beans on Toast, a self-described outlaw, is to undertake a “mahoosive ramble” from February.
It’s just one man and his guitar with songs to sing and stories to tell, and he will be stopping off at The Face Bar as he crisscrosses the country to perform at 30 independent venues.
Since 2005, Beans on Toast has written simple songs about complicated subjects. Tackling the big issues of the day but doing so with his feet firmly on the ground, he’s become a people’s champ of the modern folk scene and amassed a huge back catalogue of songs in the process.
An unrepentant optimist whose songs celebrate all that is wonderful about the human spirit, his live shows are similarly uplifting and have taken him from SOLD OUT headline shows in the UK to the stages of major international festivals across the globe.
“Folk music is an age-old art form, and it’s more relevant than ever in these wild and crazy modern times,” says Beans.
“You can expect an inspiring and entertaining gig, a relaxed and fun affair that leaves you feeling like you’ve met up with an old friend, and you’re all the better for it.”
His Reading date is Friday, March 24, and tickets are on sale at: www.beansontoastmusic.com
