Introducing… The Beans on Toast Band.
Yes. English Folk hero – Beans on Toast – will be taking his brand new live band out on tour for the first time this February and March.
With a new-look outfit comprising Scottish guitar wizard / folk songsmith Memphis Gerald, honky-tonk royalty King Killership, percussive powerhouse Abbi Drums, and festival poet extraordinaire Bassie Gracie; Beans and the band will be smashing out tunes from his highly acclaimed new album ‘The Toothpaste and the Tube‘, alongside a long list of bangers from his insanely huge back catalogue of songs.
Every night of the tour, as well as performing with Beans, each individual band member will be showcasing their own material with a solo supporting set earlier on in the evening.
Speaking about how The Beans on Toast Band came together, Beans explains:
“I’m excited to take my brand new band out on tour this month. This is a collection of fantastic musicians that I assembled at last year’s Glastonbury. We’ll be giving the full band treatment to a bunch of my old tunes as well as some tracks from the new album. I reckon it’s gonna be proper special! Some of the band members are also performers in their own right, so each night, Memphis Gerald, King Killership and Bassie Gracie will also be performing, we’ll be like an old skool travelling show, visiting some of my favourite independent venues around the UK.”
The tour comes to the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds on March 1st.
