BE AWARE of the outlaw … he’s coming to town.

Beans on Toast, who describes himself as an outlaw folk musician, is preparing to visit Reading next spring as part of a “mahoosive ramble” across the country.

One man and his guitar, with songs to sing and stories to tell, he will be performing at 30 independent venues throughout February and March.

That includes The Face Bar in Ambrose Place on Friday, March 24.

Since 2005, Beans on Toast says he 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 champion of the modern folk scene and amassed a huge catalogue of songs in the process.

Vyome Singh named Reading New Comdian of the Year– after only starting stand-up in January

He says he is an unrepentant optimist whose songs celebrate all that is wonderful about the human spirit.

As a result, he aims to make his live shows uplifting.

His first album, Survival of the Friendliest, came out at the end of last year, and was a hit.

RNR Magazine praised the lyrics that “shimmer with Beans’ trademark of truth and humour.. Captivating”, whereas Louder Than War hailed it as “the perfect antidote to re-energise us all”.

He is hard at work on the follow-up, which will be out in December.

Of the tour, Beans says: “Folk music is an age-old art form, and it’s more relevant than ever in these wild and crazy modern times.

“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.”

Tickets have just gone on sale. For more details, log on to: www.beansontoastmusic.com
